GOP Rep. Tim Huelskamp To MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow: “You’re A Cheerleader For The Administration, You’re Not A Journalist”… Love it! Via RCP: RACHEL MADDOW: Did you vote to cut diplomatic security facilities and their security before the Benghazi incident? REP. TIM HUELSKAMP (R-KANSAS): No, we had passed additional security measures, as requested by the administration, but don’t forget, the facts of the matter is Hillary Clinton did not request security enhancements, and we do believe that this administration let our troops down and let this diplomat down. We need more answers there, we need answers about a lot of things. This administration promised to be the most transparent in history, Rachel, and I think if you would stop being a cheerleader and be a journalist, you’d recognize we’re not getting those answers. MADDOW: Did you just call me a cheerleader? HUELSKAMP: I don’t know, maybe you had that history. I’m saying – MADDOW: No, wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on. HUELSKAMP: You’re a cheerleader for the administration; you’re not being a journalist. When you’re not willing to look at the facts. If it was Bush, you would be jumping and screaming. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/01/29/gop_rep_huelskamp_to_maddow_youre_a_cheerleader_for_the_administration_not_a_journalist.html http://weaselzippers.us/gop-rep-tim-huelskamp-to-msnbcs-rachel-maddow-youre-a-cheerleader-for-the-administration-youre-not-a-journalist/ credit brumar

WTVJ Apologizes for ‘Reprehensive Party of Florida’ Graphic .............................................................................. 5 February, 2014 sfltv.com • WTVJ ran a story during its 6pm newscast last Thursday in which one of the full-screen graphics identified the Florida GOP as the ‘Reprehensive Party of Florida’ instead of ‘Republican Party of Florida’. It turned out that WTVJ got the graphic from Capitol News Service in Tallahassee, and both news outlets had to apologize. One Capitol News Service was fired, and another one left. The Republican Party of Florida responded strongly, accusing WTVJ of slander “This blatant disregard for journalist ethics and impartiality is a complete abdication of your station’s professional duty to truth at best and slander at worst. We are currently reviewing our legal options against your station, but at minimum we demand an on-air apology for violating journalist ethics and public discipline for any employees responsible for the creation of this graphic,” WTVJ issued a statement apologizing for the incident “We apologize to the Republican Party of Florida and to our viewers for our airing of a wrong graphic in a news story in last night’s 6 p.m. newscast. The story came to us from a news service we use out of Tallahassee that we have relied on for years with no issues. We do, however, know it was our responsibility to catch the graphic and we regret that we did not prevent it from airing. We are addressing this with our employees to ensure something like this doesn’t happen again. Once again, we sincerely regret this incident.”
