If you’re presenting yourself as a reporter in the White House briefing room and have routinely complained that the White House press secretary won’t call on you, it seems that one of the last things you would do is devote a column to making him look bad.
But that’s what Les Kinsolving does in his May 17 WorldNetDaily column. As an attack piece on Jay Carney, though, it’s an exceptionally lazy one; all Kinsolving does is quote at length other attacks on Carney, and the only original writing Kinsolving contributes is introducing them. He can’t even be bothered to attack Carney in his own words.
Kinsolving is also too lazy to explain why he’s serving as a conduit for attacking Carney. As we’ve detailed, Carney rarely calls on Kinsolving during White House press briefings, which results in WND repeatedly complaining that Carney didn’t answer questions that Kinsolving didn’t ask.
Is such whining and lazy attacking the behavior of a reporter who should be taken seriously as a journalist? We’re pretty sure it’s not.
