On CNN’s Crossfire last night, Tucker Carlson confronted David Brock with an anecdote parlayed by Brock in his recent book, “Blinded By The Right.” The anecdote was about something Carlson allegedly said to Brock. Carlson simply denied it outright and accused Brock of being a bald-faced liar. “Ought you not be embarrassed, making this up and facing me on the set?” Carlson asked. “Looking me in the eye and saying you really said that?” Brock responded, “I will look you right in the eye. That is exactly what you told me.” Who to believe, huh? Luckily, that exchange was followed by the following friendly chat with James Carville:
CARVILLE: …because we’re going to post it on the much ballyhooed grand web
site mediawhoresonline.com. And this is what they had to say… “Conservative media outlets…have tried to ignore Brock’s truthful revelations, putting him on what looks like a blacklist, refusing to review his book, refusing to have him appear on their broadcasts, hoping that he and his book will just GO AWAY.” Does that ring true to you, David?
BROCK: Yes, absolutely. As I was saying to Tucker, the conservative magazines have not reviewed the book. Conservative dominated talk shows that love my previous work won’t talk about it. And I think the conservatives are in denial.
CARVILLE: How many talk shows have you been on let’s just say the Fox network?
BROCK: I have not been on Fox at all.
CARVILLE: But no one invited you on?
BROCK: No.
This one, actually, is not that hard to figure out. Brock is lying. Here’s a link that will actually show you a photograph of Brock being interviewed on Fox News about his book on March 18. Who are you going to believe? David Brock or your own lying eyes?
