You gotta love the chutzpah-tasatic dishonesty inherent in the Obama derangement of Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid. In a Jan. 3 AIM column attacking for Obama aide Anita Dunn, Kincaid writes:
You may remember Dunn as the Obama aide who once said communist mass murderer Mao and Mother Teresa were “two of my favorite political philosophers.” The Soros-funded Media Matters said she was taken out of context.
Kincaid, of course, is taking Dunn’s statement out of context — even admitting he’s doing so — and he dishonestly fails to link to the Media Matters item explaining why it’s out of context.
That’s not the only dishonesty Kincaid is engaging in here. The headline of his column reads “Former Obama Aide Lobbied for The Washington Post.” But that’s an inaccurate statement — Dunn has done consulting work (which she claims is not lobbying) for Kaplan University, a subsidiary of the Washington Post Co., which also owns the Washington Post. Kaplan University is not the Washington Post, though Kincaid does make that distinction somewhat clearer in his column.
