Oh, this is great. Michael Goldfarb is outraged:
David Shuster Is A Liar
MSNBC's journalistic standards are, shall we say, somewhat flexible. Even by its weak standards, however, David Shuster today issued a report that was breathtaking for its mendacity. Simply put, Shuster lied--brazenly, knowingly, on the air. ...
Shuster made these things up, apparently out of whole cloth. ...
We don't expect the likes of David Shuster to let little things like facts to get in the way of his opinions. But we do expect that the producers and executives at MSNBC might care a bit more about the consequences of spreading easily verifiable falsehoods on the air.
I'll let Shuster defend himself, if he cares what Goldfarb says. But I wonder how Goldfarb squares all of that outrage with his sleazy and dishonest lies that Sonia Sotomayor was allowed to teach her own class and grade herself?
To borrow Shuster's shtick: Michael Goldfarb, when you spread easily-debunked lies about someone and refuse to correct them when caught, then call someone else a “liar” and question their “journalistic standards” ... that's hypocrisy!
