Amid Scandal, Wingnuts Clueless
- PajamasMedia: “Hey Reuters, Anthony Weiner is a Democrat”
- Big Journalism: “Correction Request: Reuters IDs Weiner as ‘Republican'”
- Weasel Zippers: “Reuters Labels Weiner A ‘Republican’ After He Resigns”
- Reuters: “Amid scandal, U.S. Rep. Weiner set to resign”
Wait, what?
Sure enough. Nothing wrong with Reuters. So what about that other headline?
Well, it’s from IBNLive — Indian Broadcasting Network, to be specific.
And all those wingnut media watchdogs are missing a very old fact about wire services: Local papers rewrite headlines. In this case, it’s clear that the Indian wire editor mistook “Representative” for “Republican”.
So instead of catching Reuters in a tit-for-tat about legendary Fox News party mislabeling, all the wingnut watchdogs have done is reveal themselves to be absolutely fucking clueless about a standard practice of journalism.
Which isn’t news to us.
Darling, you know how I worry about you. Are you now reading Indian outlets? How will you ever find time to play your favorite show recordings? To say nothing of playing Steamballs. Which is – I have this on good authority – Weiner’s favorite game.
@Benedick HRH KFC: You should worry that I didn’t manage to squeeze in a Bollywood reference.
@Benedick HRH KFC: And the manscaping. Don’t forget the manscaping..crucial, and time consuming.
