Jonathan Karl Gets Juiced by Fake Benghazi Leak
The Benghazi Political Circus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From CNN:
Jonathan Karl, chief White House correspondent for ABC News, addressed criticism of his reporting on the Benghazi talking points controversy, saying in a statement to CNN that he regrets the inaccuracy of his report.
“Clearly, I regret the email was quoted incorrectly and I regret that it’s become a distraction from the story, which still entirely stands. I should have been clearer about the attribution. We updated our story immediately," he said in the statement to Howard Kurtz, host of CNN's "Reliable Sources."
In case you missed it, I sincerely regret the error I made describing an email from Ben Rhodes. 1/2

I should have stated, as I did elsewhere, the reporting was based on a summary provided by a source. I apologize for the mistake. 2/2

@jonkarl Referring to what you did as an "error" insults our intelligence, shows lack of regret & thus negates your apology. Just more words

The best practice for reporters getting leaks from the Hill: trust no one until you've vetted their agenda. #whodupedjonkarl

@thereidreport Did someone actually dupe @jonkarl? Or did he choose to tell the story the way he'd get max "scandal" factor? W/out a name...

Yes,not "errors" MT @only4rm: @thereidreport @jonkarl Also Karl wrote he'd "obtained"the emails &they'd been"reviewed by ABC News"-both LIES

no real downside for reporting on fake news, abc news editionbit.ly/Z5BT5B the whole thing is a fraud

Jon Karl got played. But he refuses to admit it. Every ABC anchor who doesn't ask him about it is complicit, too. tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2013/05/bengha…

ABC's Jon Karl: "Yes, I got the emails wrong, but the story still entirely stands. I'm not changing it just because I lied."
— Top Conservative Cat (@TeaPartyCat) May 19, 2013
.@jonkarl because if you were deliberately lied to, they're not a proper "source." They used u to transmit false info to whip up "scandal."
— Joy Reid (@TheReidReport) May 19, 2013
@thereidreport @jonkarl He needs a new, more reliable source not a GOP friend.

No, @jonkarl did not "get played"; he wrote the music and hired the band.

.@jonkarl: "I'm deeply sorry that the 'filet mignon' I fed you last week was actually a shit sandwich. But wasn't it delicious?" #Benghazi

I just refuse to believe that Jonathan Karl was a "victim" in the #Benghazi email scandal. He was a PARTICIPANT. @abc
— Jeanne K. (@SnarkAmendment) May 19, 2013
@snarkamendment @abc He most certainly was. Now HE's trying to do the #gop-spin-&-shuffle. He might as well get his due from it; he pd 4 it.

.@jonkarl Sounds like u just keep digging yourself deeper.Have the juice to tell the truth & give up your source for lies perpetrated @abc
— Stephanie Green (@stefsstuff) May 19, 2013
Does @jonkarl still have "juice" with his lying sources.....

@thedailyedge @jonkarl @abc Karl can't be trusted again.Belongs on Blaze with Glenn Beck.
