WorldNetDaily has yet another whining fit in an Oct. 13 article, asserting that Jay Carney “avoided” a question WND White House correspondent Les Kinsolving, once again baselessly suggesting that Carney knew the question Kinsolving was going to ask.
Even if Carney had known of the question — which, again, WND presents no evidence to back up — it’s best that he did. WND reports that it was a gotcha question: “South Africa was boycotted [years ago] because of apartheid. If a Palestinian state is born that bans Jews, does the president believe that this administration should boycott it as the U.S. boycotted South Africa?” This was intended to build on an earlier gotcha question Kinsolving asked Carney on whether claims that a Palestinian state would be free of Jews was “Judenrein.”
That’s nothing but lazy speculation, but unfortunately it’s the kind of laziness we’ve come to expect from the hack journalist Kinsolving has become.
