"Jon Karl makes things worse"

Little f***** is Doubling Down..

He regrets “inaccurate” Benghazi email but says his story based on it “still entirely stands.” Really. ABC News?

snip***

By Joan Walsh

CNN’s Howard Kurtz, who knows a little bit about being in the line of media fire for his own work, offered ABC News’s embattled Jon Karl the chance to defend himself on Reliable Sources Sunday. Karl, of course, is in hot water because his “scoop” revealing that the White House tampered with Benghazi talking points relied on doctored email leaked by House Republican sources. That’s not my charge, by the way: CBS’s Major Garrett reported Friday that House GOP staffers peddled the doctored email to him and other reporters.
Karl didn’t appear on CNN, but he gave Kurtz a statement which is brazen and baffling.

Clearly, I regret the email was quoted incorrectly and I regret that it’s become a distraction from the story, which still entirely stands. I should have been clearer about the attribution. We updated our story immediately.

First of all, why was Karl providing a statement to CNN, but saying nothing on ABC’s “This Week,” which featured him and his “scoop” prominently last Sunday? That’s just very weird.

Much More..

Just like all of them. There is not one honest bone in any of them, I don't think. They lie easier than they breathe.

ABC’s Jonathan Karl: Yes, the Story Was False but It “Entirely Stands”

The ethical thing to do at this point would be to correct and retract the story, and reveal the name of his dishonest source. But that’s not the path Karl is choosing:
