A touchy subject on any level, the Daily Caller’s recent headline beginning with “Kill all the Jews” in their Guns and Gear section — written immediately off as the work of a hungover drunk who writes for them. Nameless, of course.
As expected, the title was immediately changed, but the original URL kept the damning evidence visible to the world, according to Talking Memo.
The Daily Caller, whose editor-in-chief is Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, seems not to be too worried about the situation, any more than previous editorial boo-boos. According to Raw Story, “Tucker Carlson is pretty blasé about his employees wanting to kill Jews, so it’s cool,” by Tbogg (Crown Point’s Tom Boggioni in California), Tucker does not worry too much about the work of his employees.
Some examples of Carlson’s editorial boo-boos are touted by Raw Story as:
- A “hacker” supposedly replaced their display advertising with pornography ads (Was it a “hacker” or a couple of drunk writers giggling and going, “Watch this, dude!”)
- Matt Boyle reported the EPA was going to hire “230,000 new bureaucrats,” except… not.
- One of the DC’s editors was caught sending ‘dick pic’ emails to a woman — it was a picture Dick Cheney, hahahaha — and when the woman complained, the editor’s response was “Well, why did you open it? Perv.”
- Stories about Dominican hookers banging U.S Senators
- Oooo. How about that time a Daily Caller writer wrote about how he liked to masturbate to Ellen Page pictures until he found out she was a lesbian? He went on to, “explain that gays aren’t fun anymore,” probably because the Page incident harshed his hobby.
Say Whaaat?
The guilty column is authored by Major General Jerry R. Curry, who said, ” “If today the civilized world, led by the United States, doesn’t stand up and speak out for Israel and the world’s Jews, when Islam comes for the Christians, and it will come, there will be no one left to speak for them.”
Which has absolutely nothing to do with the headline, “Kill All The Jews.” Instead, it is quite the opposite, which may be the fingers getting ahead of the brain instead of a claim by Carlson of a no-name writer being blamed for a hangover title. Or it could be sheer guts for shock, to wake people up. Well ….
According to the Talking Memos news article, “The interesting thing is that the headline, as seen above, managed to attract no attention or seem out of the ordinary for about twenty-four hours until someone contacted a DC editor and was all, “WTF?”
NO attention? Maybe it is due to the type of readers, who now will be reading Daily Caller even more. We have to admit, these are a bunch of fun-loving guys who write for fun — as long as you do not verfy their work!
But then, they do apologize if painted in a corner…..
