Yes! It is a Big Story...

Both MSNBC and CNN have covered the story of how Congressman Kevin McCarthy was caught in a bald-faced lie.

The fact that this Republican leader was caught redhanded lying to the American people is a big story and it is one that both CNN and MSNBC rightfully spent a lot of time covering.

But, that same story was barely covered on Fox News.

The story got very brief mentions on Martha MacCallum’s The Story, and Shannon Bream’s Fox News at Night.

Only Fox News host Bret Baier covered the story in any depth at Fox News.

You would think (or hope) that Fox News media critic Howard Kurtx would have called his network out for basically ignoring the story of a top GOP leader lying outright.

But, you would think wrong.

Kurtz even asked if it was a big story at all?

Talking to Glenn Greenwald, Kurtz said “Is it a big story?” “We already knew McCarthy, who had publicly criticized the president at the time, later went to Mar-a-Lago and mended fences. But again, it comes back to denying what was already on tape.”

Yes Howie it is a big story.

If the people that are elected by us are telling lies, it is the media’s job to call them out and put that person in a very bright spotlight.

I don’t care which side of the aisle they are on.

The fact that Kurtz doesn’t see that and tows the company line once again shows why cable news outlets should not have media reporters and just call them waterboys, which is exactly what they are.
