Democrats have an integrity problem. You need to check out this video. dailycaller.com Ron Fournier, who arguably knows more about the Clintons than any reporter alive (inasmuch as he began his career here, in Hot Springs, and Little Rock, covering the Clintons in the 80s), says the Clintons don't believe "trust matters." That's some pretty lousy crap going on as the primary season cranks up. She is pretty much the worst disaster you guys could have imagined at this point. Dems have an integrity problem??? Uh..........here's some background on your winger pal: In May 2008, Fournier was named the acting Washington bureau chief, replacing his "mentor" Sandy Johnson.[ citation needed] Since taking over the position, Fournier has led a dramatic shift in the AP's policy, moving it away from the neutral and objective tone it had become known for and toward a more opinionated style that would make judgments when conflicting opinions were presented in a story. [4] Controversy In July 2008, while investigators for the House Oversight Committee were looking into the death of Pat Tillman, they uncovered a 2004 email from Fournier to Karl Rove encouraging him to "keep up the fight." [5] On August 23, 2008, following U.S. Senator and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's announcement of his selection of Senator Joe Biden as a running mate, Fournier wrote a widely circulated piece titled "Analysis: Biden pick shows lack of confidence". [6] A Washington Monthly columnist described the piece as "mirror[ing] the Republican line with minimal variation". [7] Editor & Publisher noted that Fournier's article "gained wide linkage at the Drudge Report, Hot Air and numerous other conservative sites...." and was targeted by MoveOn.org for alleged bias. [8] In February 2013, Fournier wrote a column about breaking ties with a White House official after a pattern of "vulgarity, abusive language" and "veiled threat(s)", but did not identify the official due to his policy of granting blanket automatic anonymity to all his sources. [9] Fournier received some criticism from commentator Glenn Greenwald for behaving in a "petulant" manner and for his policy on anonymity for sources.
