Fox News' Jarrett falsely claimed Obama is making his "first trip to the Middle East"
During the July 19 edition of Fox News' America's Election HQ, anchor Gregg Jarrett falsely claimed that Sen. Barack Obama's overseas trip, which includes planned stops in Iraq, Israel, and Jordan, constituted his "first trip to the Middle East." In fact, as Media Matters for America has documented, Obama made a January 2006 Middle East trip that included stops in Iraq, Israel, and Jordan.
From the July 19 edition of Fox News' America's Election HQ:
JARRETT: All right, Inga, let me begin with you. What are your listeners --
INGA BARKS (talk radio host): Hi, Gregg.
JARRETT: -- saying about Obama's first trip to the Middle East? Are they expecting sort of the usual political spin that you get from politicians?
BARKS: Semantics, semantics, semantics. No matter how this turns out, Gregg, if -- he's going to say -- he's going to spin it to say that there's -- that it is consistent with his original policy.
JARRETT: Yeah. Joe --
BARKS: Right. I mean, no matter what they say it's going to be consistent with whatever he originally said. He was right all along.
JARRETT: Well, but you know what? Maybe some of it is. Because, Joe, [Iraq Prime Minister] Nouri al-Maliki, today --
JOE MADISON (talk radio host): That's right.
JARRETT: -- calling Obama's 16-month withdrawal plan, quote, "the right timeframe for withdrawal." So, I mean, look --
MADISON: With -- with -- yeah.
BARKS: Yeah.
JARRETT: -- do your listeners think this trip --
MADISON: No.
JARRETT: -- may actually dispel concerns that he's not ready to be commander in chief? What do you think, Joe?
Jarrett is absolutely right! It is Obama's first trip to the Middle East this year. Only a bunch of left-wing wackos would deny the clear meaning of his words.

And unlike you left wing whacko's, me saying "left wing whacko's" doesn't mean every single one of you, though it's pretty darn near every single one of you. It's only you left wing whacko's who deal in absolutes like the morons you are. Oh, that wasn't an insult either, it's the truth. Only left wing morons spew hate and insults, because they are stupid and ugly that way.

Thats because I'm a sad, bitter little man. Or dog. A sad, bitter little dog?
You libruls always have to have the last word. Yes, you libruls have the Drive-by, main stream media in your pocket and Senor McCain never gets and good publicity. And the digging for oil should be starting and you people hate Hillary Clinton. Leave Iraq, just because somebody who runs Iraq wants us to leave, why should we? We won the surge after we found the WMDs'..Last night, I had dinner with VP Cheneys' 3rd. cousin on his dads' mothers' side. Then we went to Studio 54 where I was dancing with Madonna before A-Rod walked in.
Anyway, you libruls are stupid and Snoopy, you are a dog.

And untill we find out who has the cold nose among us. I thing we all should just "sit" still. With crossed legs and count noses and blow noses, and just...be quiet.
Thank you.
FST, Poop's Principles.
So, either Gregg Jarrett is either ignorant of the facts in the story that he is "reporting", or he is deliberately trying to misinform his viewers. This means he's either a fool or a lier.
It is indeed a sad state of affairs when basic journalistic incompetence is your best defense.
On the other hand, they can probably find people on the subcontinent who would gladly lie and propagandize for only a fraction of what it costs to hire Americans to do the same job.
I mean, you think Noisecorp wouldn't to be more than willing to eat their own if it meant reducing their grocery bill?

Probably he is fool. Instead of gathering news and checking facts he merely repeats something he heard on talk radio on his way to work.
Mr. Jarrett, I am not like the rest of the posters on this site. I am here to help. Now, let us get back to basics. One is a number which comes before 2 and after a Zero. Now, using my lib, not philib, math skills, 1 is greater than 0 and 1 is less than 2. That is our beginning of truth in numbers. Now, study this premise and come back tomorrow for a test. It will be an open-book test,,,,,,and will have one question. And the answer to that question is 1.
Study hard, see you tomorrow
