Joe Williams suspended from Politico for telling the truth about Romney

[bigdarryl]

HEY Joe resign from that rightwing rag and go over to Current TV that's your best bet http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/06/27/suspended-politico-reporter-breitbart-media-in-the-business-of-gathering-scalps/

1. I agree, this is the Romney strategy.

“Basically it’s the schoolyard bully concept where if you make enough noise, if you push back hard enough, people are not going to fight back. … They’re in the business of gathering scalps.”

Sorry about Williams, but I am glad the cat is out of the bag.

2. The Washington Post fought back yesterday

and refused to retract the Bain outsourcing pioneer story.

4. Wow. Journalism with a conscience. Maybe it will catch on!

5. Yes, I extra k&red the Bwaaaaaaaaah in your OP

Not sure why Joe didn't fare as well as Tom, kinda sucks to be out of a job for telling the truth about Romney. At least he should know, he did the right thing, exposing and defining the Romney for pres strategy.

3. Saying Mittens is more comfortable around "white folks" is a Duh! classic understatement!

6. Williams' Analysis Wrong-No Need to Suspend Him

Joe Williams' analysis is at least a little bit wrong, but that was not reason enough to suspend him. Mitt Romney appears on Fox News so much more because he knows the anchors on Fox News will not test him as much as anchors from other news channels and less because he is more comfortable with white people.

Most news anchors are white, however; you will never see Romney on MSNBC. Why? Because the white anchors on MSNBC will greatly challenge him on what he is saying and what he has said.

7. No need for suspension...sheesh

I like Williams-- this was unnecessary
