So there’s an LA Times blog taking this on. Know why this is in a blog? Because they couldn’t tote these lies in the news section with a straight face. Not today, anyway. Maybe tomorrow:
Bachmann spent much of Wednesday lashing out at NBC on various media outlets while plugging her new autobiography.
Meanwhile, Roots bandleader Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson says it was a “tongue-in-cheek and spur-of-the-moment decision.”
via Michele Bachmann receives apology from NBC over Jimmy Fallon gag – latimes.com.
Why “lashing”? Why “plugging”? This is how they discuss an apology being tendered to Bachmann–by slamming her.
And then the second bit is flat-out untrue. There was nothing “spur-of-the-moment” about the ambush, which he tweeted well in advance.
Way to go, LA Times. It’s what we’ve come to expect.
