Desperate Screams of the Press Clowns
By Erick Erickson. If you ever needed a reminder of how pathetic the cast of clowns who make up the reporters and journalists in the media is, look no further than the David Gregory story and the reaction to it from the press corps. It is a non-story to them [see story below].
Glenn Thrush, debating this with me on twitter notes, “The more [you] talk about the fake Gregory story the less [you] talk about Newtown. Classic play fake.”

NBC’s David Gregory Violated DC Gun Laws By Brandishing Hi-Cap Magazine?
By Katie Glueck. Some political and media types weren’t impressed by headlines this week reporting that D.C. police are investigating the alleged display of a gun magazine on NBC’s Meet the Press. They took to the Internet with their disdain for the story.
“Excellent use of DC police resources, investigating ‘Meet the Press’ for committing an act of journalism,” snarked the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg.
“When guns are outlawed, only David Gregory will have guns,” Slate’s Matt Yglesias offered.
The Twitter sarcasm came a day after police said they were “investigating” after “Meet the Press” host David Gregory brandished what appeared to be a 30-round gun magazine on the Sunday show while interviewing National Rifle Association head Wayne LaPierre. Police said use of a magazine in that context could have violated D.C. laws.
The story picked up Wednesday as conflicting reports emerged concerning what NBC knew about the legality of displaying the magazine. Read more from this story HERE.
