Surprise! Jim Hoft doesn’t read so good. Or, the return of Gladney Mania?
Media Matters puts the smackdown on one of the more vile cretins in the right wing blogopshere:
Like, Hoft can’t even read the stuff he links to on his own site, Gateway Pundit. It’s quite remarkable, really.
Please do go read it. Here’s a little more, the update:
Note that in Hoft’s headline, the phrase that appears in quotes is “Kenneth Gladney Not Black Enough.” Hoft assigns that quote to an “NAACP Leader.”
Now, the logical conclusion, based on the way simple journalism works, is that if phrase appears in quotes about somebody being CAUGHT ON TAPE, the assumption is that person, an NAACP leader, actually uttered the phrase that appears in quotes, right?
Ah, but we’re talking about Jim Hoft, people. And normal, common sense guidelines do not apply, which is why, as the site St. Louis Activist Hub, points out, nobody on the tape Hoft is hyping ever said what Hoft quoted them as saying in his headline. And certainly no “NAACP leader” is seen saying that. Hoft simply concocted the phrase “Kenneth Gladney Not Black Enough” and then put it in quotes and pretended an “NAACP leader” said that on tape.
But yes, by all means we should all take Gladney Mania very, very seriously.
Jim Hoft: despicable liar.
Reminder: one of Hoft’s other shining moments includes smearing rival bloggers as ‘child molesters’.
