"How can she be covering the news if she's that out of touch with reality?"

"You ask whoever has employed her to fire her"

In this segment, I asked Speaker Gingrich about Linda Foley's statement that the American military was targeting journalist in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think you'll like Newt's answer! Watch for yourself HERE!

Transcript:

Trey Jackson:
Are you familiar with Linda Foley's comment about a month back at the National Conference for Media Reform? Linda Foley is the President of the Newspaper Guild and she said: "Journalists, by the way, are not just being targeted verbally or … ah, or … ah, politically. They are also being targeted for real, um … in places like Iraq. What outrages me as a representative of journalists is that there's not more outrage about the number, and the brutality, and the cavalier nature of the U.S. military toward the killing of journalists in Iraq." What I wonder is, Eason Jordan apparently made a similar statement but there was no video of that statement or transcript...

Newt Gingrich:
There's a pathology of being anti-American which runs through the American left. It shows up in journalism. It shows up in the academic community. It's a pathology. It's not something you can argue about. These people are out of touch with reality. You just have to say it. First of all, if she honestly believes the American military targets journalists, how come so many of them were embedded? How come so many of them survived everyday covering the war?

Trey Jackson:
How do we, as citizens, hold her accountable for a statement that lacks any proof or evidence?

Newt Gingrich:
I think you go straight at it and you ask whoever has employed her to fire her. You say this is a person who is clearly out of touch with reality. How can she be covering the news if she's that out of touch with reality?
