Fred Thompson Attacks CNN

One thing I like about Fred Thompson (though I as of yet, still remain undecided) is that he’s a straight talker, at least that’s my impression of him. He’ll tell it like it is.
These mainstream media pukes just piss me off…I guess I’m not the only one…
During a live interview on Friday’s American Morning, Fred Thompson lived up to his reputation as the GOP presidential candidate most willing to challenge the media, as the former Senator complained to CNN anchor John Roberts that the show used a clip of him joking about Fed Chair Ben Bernanke to make it appear Thompson was not interested in a stimulus package for the economy. Thompson: “You sit there and you take an hour’s worth of tape, of course, and we have a little fun every once in a while, and sometimes you guys pick that out and have a little fun with it yourself…” When Roberts suggested he was being “dismissive” of a stimulus package, Thompson continued: “You know better than that. … From time to time, things come up, and I poke fun at it… And you guys pick it out, you know, and leave it lying out there. We proceeded to talk about the economy and talk about a stimulus package, which I’ve been talking about for two or three days, but if this is your highlight event, it’s your highlight event.”
