Charles Johnson caught spreading a lie - Amazingly no correction forthcoming
In a post this morning I linked to a Little Green Football's post which, based on a Talking Point Memo DC post, accused Fox of lying about being excluded from an interview. From the comments of that thread:

"You know that story that was on Fox News yesterday, claiming that Fox had been excluded from a “roundtable” interview with pay czar Ken Feinberg?According to the article at the Huffington Post Fox did request an interview,was excluded, and then when the media pool insisted they be given time they were punished by having their time cut by more than half. The Huffington Post has people actually talking on the record so that adds a little credibility.
And then (according to Fox News) all the other networks stood up and said, “If Fox isn’t there, we’re not going to be there! We’re all Fox News now!”
Well, turns out it didn’t exactly happen that way."
Apparantly, according to HuffPo, it did happen that way.
Clemente said that when Isham presented that scenario on a conference call with the other pool members — including Fox News — "they unanimously said, instantly, no, that's not gonna fly. Either Fox is in or none of us is doing it."The last correction has been up for over 6 hours and Charles Johnson has made no correction to his original post. Far below the standards he holds others too, such as when racist comment were posted by one of his minions at Hot Air. They were posted in the middle of the night but Hot Air was castigated by Johnson and his followers because they were not immediately removed. Nice double standard.
Once Isham relayed that message to Treasury, Treasury cleared it with White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, who approved Feinberg's interview with Fox News' Major Garrett.
Clemente said, however, that there was now a catch: every network would get two minutes with Feinberg instead of the previously planned five.
"That's not very normal," he said. "I'm told that whoever was there was absolutely militaristic about the time limit. Usually two or four or five minutes means, 'Ask your last question,' with a little flexibility. But there was none."

When even HuffPo is correcting your loose shit, you've fucking lost it.

I wonder if this cat will have his/her account much longer. This dovetails into CJ's "guilt by association" card he loves to play, especially considering the Kilgore Trout 3AM raid from last month and the banning of Zombie: everything on LGF is monitored by either him or his "monitor lizards", so anything that stays up is implicitly/explicitly approved by him. Same goes for his habit of banning people for shit they say or do on other sites. SO, when Kilgore did what he did last month, and didn't get tossed, that means he approved. Ditto for the time Irish Rose went over to Zombie's site to accuse Zombie of the sin of not deleting comments at his/her site, only to get smacked around by Cato the Elder for lying, and not get tossed, that meant CJ approved of her stunt. Same goes for his refusal to correct this lie. And if he deletes this comment, we know how he stand on all of this.
It also looks as though his business model of pissing off everybody in the world, then begging the handful of deadbeat losers who suck his ass enough to stay there to fund his dealings just doesn't seem to be panning out. Oh well.

I've got to say, watching CJ go through a total meltdown online is very sad calling for way more popcorn than I have on hand at the moment.

If he thought that his flipout would endear him to the Kos Kidz and Huffpo crowd, he chose poorly. This smackdown by Huffpo proves that they don't want him, which means that Kos won't either.

Yeah, even I've been banned over there, for calling Charles on one of his flights of fancy. I wasn't rude, I just disagreed with him... Which is the cardina sin of the left.
