Media Misreporting Boehner's Fast & Furious Stance: Once again the media is reporting supposed facts about Speaker John Boehner without actually confirming them. This time Fox News’s William La Jeunesse states Speaker Boehner is putting pressure on Chairman Darrell Issa to drop contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder in relation to the ongoing investigation of Operation Fast and Furious.
This is not true. Speaker Boehner’s spokesman Michael Steel confirmed it for me once again.
“The Speaker supports Chairman Issa’s efforts to hold the Department of Justice accountable,” Mr. Steel wrote in an email.
Over and over the media has used anonymous sources for this story instead of actually confirming anything with Speaker Boehner’s office.
