The tense relationship between Press Secretary Jay Carney and Fox’s Ed Henry has been well documented. And today the saga just got another chapter.
Henry was pushing Carney on why President invoked executive privilege in the Fast and Furious case. Carney claimed that all relevant documents have been turned over to Congress, but Henry failed to see how that made sense considering executive privilege was in play and when Congress is saying it wants more. And as Henry kept probing, Carney grew increasingly irritated. We’ll leave it for you to see, but suffice it to say that Carney at one point accusing Henry of engaging in “selective listening” and smugly referring to Fox as “your network.”
Watch the tense exchange below:
This comes on the same day the New York Times reports Carney placed an “angry” call to Fox after the network’s morning program, “Fox and Friends,” aired a scathing anti-Obama video last month.

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 4:52pmSince when is it bad to drill down on certain parts of a press release?
Oh, I forgot, the press’ purpose is to consume the press release, and only ask for clarification on how the President FEELS. Maybe a golf score question, if the press is feeling randy and bold, huh?
Sorry, bub! We are talking about a NATION of people’s lives! A FREE PEOPLE at that! People who have been blessed with Freedom and Liberty, among all nations on earth, and you prefer they sit quietly and accept YOUR word as gospel? How about you do YOUR job, and answer questions put to you? You see, Jay, a wise man once said, “Guard, with Jealous attention, the public liberty… Suspect EVERYONE who approaches that jewel.” That man, of course, was Patrick Henry.
You have fought for, and gained, access to- and control of that Jewel, “LIBERTY.”
Report Post »So, you will excuse us if we are SUSPICIOUS of you, or the President, himself.

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 7:21pmIt’s so easy to tell when Jay Carney(ville) is lying. His facial expressions and tone gives it away every time; like most all progressives.
I’m glad the book “Rules for Radicals” didn’t include a lesson on “how to lie and not get caught”.

I urge us all to email, write a letter and/or call your Congressman/Congresswoman and let them know that we are not satisfied and urge them to proceed and hold the DOJ (Eric Holder) in contempt and do not allow this to be swept under the rug just because they haven’t the stomach for it or we will find somebody that dies and replace them. Lets take our Country and our Government back. Activation is imperative.

With about as much creditability as the Zimmerman witch hunt. The international Far Left has the media – ( from BBC, public funded radio and television outlets , to the New York Times and others ) all in the control of their Far Left grasping microphones ! Watch out Fox, they have you in their sights. There is now a world wide war going on against conservatives media outlets.
