From Obama Press Conference, April 30, 2013
Jonathan Karl of ABC: Mr. President, you are a hundred days into your second time. On the gun bill, it seems you put everything into it to try to get it passed. Obviously you didn’t. Congress has ignored your efforts to try to get them to undo these sequester cuts. There was even a bill that you threatened to veto that got 92 Democrats in the house voting yes. So my question to you is do you still have the juice to get the rest of your agenda through this Congress?
President Barack Obama: My, if you put it that way, Jon, maybe I should just pack up and go home. Golly.
POTUS pushes back on @jonkarl's Q that he lacks "juice." First with humor, then with some punch.From good cop to bad cop in 2 mins.

Jonathan Karl: "Do you still have the juice?" Obama: "rumors of my demise may be a little exaggerated." #whpresser

From Media Matters for America ~ May 14, 2013
. . . CNN is challenging the accuracy of reporting on a supposed email from a White House aide that seemed to suggest an effort to provide political cover for the administration following the September attacks in Benghazi, Libya. The new revelations regarding the email comes after the allegedly flawed reporting has spread through the media.
The allegedly inaccurate characterizations of the Rhodes email by ABC News and The Weekly Standard were repeated in numerous media outlets, and a Republican research document.
. . . ABC News' alleged misquote of the Rhodes email -- filed by Jonathan Karl -- was cited and repeated in numerous outlets, including USA Today, Politico, The Daily Mail, National Review Online, and Fox News. During Special Report's panel discussion on May 10, contributor Charles Krauthammer cited the email to claim the White House was more interested in "political cover for all the agencies and not about the truth."
CNN host Jake Tapper reported today that a newly obtained email from White House aide Ben Rhodes about Benghazi "differs from how sources inaccurately quoted and paraphrased it in previous accounts to different media organizations." Tapper writes that the email shows that someone provided outlets like ABC News and The Weekly Standard with "inaccurate information" . . .
Oops: ABC's Benghazi 'scoop' was based on fabricated email dailykos.com/story/2013/05/…. GOP conspiracy gets dumber by the day

When did @abc and @jonkarl know about the fabricated email and who knew about it? How can one report they viewed something they never saw?

@jonkarl So it's the WH's fault because you didn't vet your source thoroughly & ended up publishing WRONG information? #JournalismFAIL #p2

ABC's Jonathan Karl wasn't quoting the Benghazi emails. He was quoting the source who CHARACTERIZED them. Not good. politicususa.com/abc-admits-rea…

A good day, another MSM shill exposed, spectacularly -> @jonkarl <- Not a word he scrawls again will ever be taken seriously. @abcnews @abc

How did those false #GOP talking points end up in @jonkarl's reporting? @abc should release all internal communications and drafts.

You know what @jonkarl should write about next? The scandal in which @jonkarl printed selectively edited material without verifying it.

Breaking: ABC News gets corrected by CNN... now that's embarrassing.
— Paul Lander (@paul_lander) May 15, 2013
Let's be clear: @jonkarl wasn't duped. He was trying to help GOP take down our President. It's criminal. He should be fired. @abc
