Pajamas Media’s Breaking “Exclusive” Covered by Schlussel a Month Ago

By Debbie Schlussel

More evidence that Pajamas Media is neither to be taken seriously nor believed. First, I told you about the lie-filled video about Detroit by lazy punk (and anti-Semite) Steven Crowder. He completely pulled “facts” out of his butt and made up things like “bear sightings” in Detroit. Now, there’s Richard Pollock, PJM’s Washington Bureau Chief.

Today, he has what he claims is an “exclusive” on Janet Napolitano’s meeting, last month, with a group of Muslim extremists (he says it’s Muslims tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, but in fact, it’s many noxious Muslim and Arab groups) and other ethno-centric activists (and, of course, PJM’s slobbering former advertising partner, Michelle Fraudkin, regurgitates this “exclusive” BS). Problem is, it’s not exclusive at all. It’s old news, and something I covered on this site the day after it happened. Schlussel Flashback:

Terrif: DHS Chieftess Recruits Muslim Extremists to Combat . . . Muslim Extremism?! – January 29, 2010, – 4:04 pm

And to make matters worse, Richard Pollock displays that he’s really not much of a competent journalist. Like his PJM colleague Steven Crowder, his phony faux-”exclusive” claims that the names of the organizations and participants in the Napolitano meeting aren’t available because Homeland Security refused to disclose them. Uh, hello . . . ? If you read my entry on the event, not only did I disclose some of the names and the organizations, but some of the Muslim and other organizations who participated also disclosed all of the participants in their own statements. Check out this press release, which discloses the names of all the organizations and the individuals representing them who were at the meeting.

I’ve cut and pasted, above, for the incompetent and research-challenged (that means you, Richard). And note that the Bush Administration–particularly Napolitano’s predecessor, Michael Chertoff–met with and welcomed all the same groups and people. New boss same as the old boss. (To those with the “miss me yet?” Bush signs, no, I don’t miss him. He wasn’t much better–or different–than Obama and I wish both were long gone.)

Here’s a tip to Richard Pollock for his next, um, “exclusive” (a month after everyone else wrote about it). Try google. I know that, like Steven Crowder, PJM likes to be lazy and lie, because they simply can’t be bothered to do their homework. But credibility is everything and PJM deservedly has less and less with people who have a clue (which doesn’t include Fraudkin, by the way).

“Exclusive”? Only if you think “news” that bread now comes in slices is also “exclusive.” Read it here first. Skip the incompetents.
