Dear National Public Radio
Don't y'all get just a little embarassed when one of your reporters goes on Fox Noise Channel and simply makes shit up?
Ignoring polling, Liasson claimed on Fox News Sunday that all Republicans beat Clinton
On the May 13 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, Fox News contributor and NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson asserted that former New York City mayor and Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is "trying to argue" that he is "the only one who can beat a Democratic nominee -- [Sen.] Hillary Clinton [D-NY]." Liasson added, "But I don't think the polls support that. I think the polls show that in head-to-head matchups, for whatever that's worth now, they all do." However, while some recent polling has been less favorable to Clinton, two polls released in May show her leading not only Giuliani, but also the other top Republican candidates in head-to-head contests.
Where Liasson goes wrong is when she says "I don't think." You're right, Mara, you don't think. You spout shit. What I can never figure out about Liasson is if she's more like Crackhead Cokie, who just spews forth crap without a care to the facts because she's nuts, or if Liasson actually read the polls and is playing to the FNC audience.
I'd love to know what FNC pays Liasson for her "contributions" to their shows relative to what she makes for NPR. It has to be substantial for her to just ignore facts and play to the party line.
