I know we’re frustrated Progressives about the 110th Congress not doing what needs to be done. Now the media is misquoting Harry Reid. But Joe Lieberman is getting out of control. I am really beginning to think he’s a shill for George W. Bush. Listen to the clip below, taken from WTIC Radio’s Morning Show with Ray Dunaway, then read the story and start steaming about Lieberman a little more.

Since this Congress isn’t getting anything done any, send Lieberman packing and let him join the Republican Party where he’ll have no seniority what’so-ever! - JS

A June 14 FoxNews.com article (retrieved via Yahoo cache) mischaracterized a question posed to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) during a press conference to convey the false impression that Reid suggested that Army Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of the multinational force in Iraq, is “incompetent.” FoxNews.com reported that Reid was asked whether he “considered Petraeus competent,” and that “Reid responded, A-Not as far as I-m concerned.- ” In fact, according to the transcript provided by Congressional Quarterly transcription services - as well as a video aired on Fox News Channel - Reid was asked whether he believed Petraeus was incompetent, answering, “Not as far I-m concerned.” Fox later altered the story online to accurately reflect the exchange but never issued a formal correction to note that a change had been made. Rather, the new version of the article simply changed the word “competent” to “incompetent,” indicating Reid’s denial that he regards Petraeus as incompetent. Fox News congressional correspondent Major Garrett, who is listed as having contributed to the FoxNews.com article, similarly mischaracterized the exchange on Fox News- Special Report. Later in the program, after playing a video clip of the exchange, Fox News Washington managing editor and host Brit Hume properly characterized the exchange, but he did not note Garrett’s false report.

Reuters, which also reported the exchange, correctly noted, “Asked if he thought Petraeus was incompetent, Reid said, A-Not as far as I-m concerned,- but he added, A-I-m not going to get into what I said or didn-t say.- “
