Anderson Cooper Takes DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz to Task for Misquoting L.A. Times In Fundraising Pitch

NewsBusters   "There are some lies told by the DNC that even CNN can’t let slide.  Such is the case with a recent DNC fundraising email written by Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz which misquotes the L.A. Times in order to attack Mitt Romney.

"The email at question centers around the RNC platform on abortion which has remained the same for the past twelve years in its steadfast support for the protection life. ...

 " The email written by Ms. Schultz said the following:

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are now, incredibly, saying they don't agree with the policies of the party whose nomination they're about to accept, but guess what? The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that the platform was, and I quote, "written at the direction of Romney's campaign."

"On his August 23 program, Anderson Cooper called out the Chairwoman for misquoting the L.A. Times, but Ms. Schultz stubbornly refused to admit fault.  Throughout the interview, Cooper corrects Schultz’s lies, pointing out that "Mitt Romney did not design or direct the writing of the Republican Party platform. In particular, the language on abortion is virtually the same as it's been for years." "

Big Journalism; DWS When Confronted On Lie: 'It Doesn't Matter'  "CNN's Anderson Cooper doggedly tries to get DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to acknowledge the truth behind her false claims about Mitt Romney's position on abortion."

The heading to the above said Schultz was "torn to shreds", but Rush Limbaugh fervently disagrees in this piece:  Cooper Performs Random Act of Journalism on Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz

But I don't think he "profoundly embarrassed" her. I don't think she can be embarrassed. I don't think Biden can be embarrassed. Oh, speaking of that, Charlie Rangel said (impression), "You're damn right Biden was talking about slavery and he's damn right about it!"Yeah, Rangel's out saying, "Damn right he was talking about slavery." Another circling of the wagons around Plugs. Anyway, maybe I'm hearing this differently than you guys, and I didn't see it. Maybe Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz looked guilty, but... (interruption) Okay, HR says he saw it and she looked guilty. Fine. When you just hear it, she got her message out: Romney's lying and hates women and is extreme!
