It's staggeringly unbelievable that johnforbes is so hypocritical that every five years or so he catches a 'leftist' journalist making a questionable editing choice (which happens all the time in ALL journalism) and he sees that as an indictment of the "dishonesty" of 'leftist' journalists. Couric didn't lie about anything, but she made a questionable editorial choice.
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bret Baier, and a slew of other rightist 'journalists' regularly told actual, verifiable, partisan lies on their broadcasts and johnforbes has no problem at all with it. In fact, he gladly passes on those lies on a regular basis. He does not see this as an indictment of the typical dishonesty of Rightist journalists.
As to questionable Rightist editing choices, FOXnews in particular would have regular exclusive interviews with the President of the United States and the FOX 'journalists' would cut him off (make a questionable editing choice) and not let Trump talk on air any longer because he was making a fool of himself when America inarguably had a right to know how dangerously stupid Trump is.
But to johnfoibles this does not represent the typical "dishonesty" of the rightist journalists he listens to. It's merely reflects the sort of palatable biased journalism he prefers to consume.
What's even sillier about dishonestjohn is that he actually believes anyone needs to be told how liberal or conservative Ginsburg was. It is not news, dimwit. She has a decades-long record of her positions on all sorts of issues. You don't need to listen to Couric interviews to find out about Ginsburg any more than I need to rely on FOX journalists to find out how dangerous Trump is.
I'm sure this revelation of Ginsburg's view of Kaepernick's protest has now fundamentally changed johnforbes entire attitude towards Ginsberg's legal and political opinions so Couric's editing choice is unforgivable to him. (johnny really is that mush-brained.)
