WAPO reporter tries to start some shit between Biden and the base

[DrSteveB]

Last night Joe Biden warned the Democratic base that they "better get energized" and "get in gear" in the Rachel Maddow.

Washington Post pundit Stephen Stromberg chose to paraphrase Biden claiming the VP told progressive "to grow up." This is sensationalism intended to start a scandal in order to make blogs link to Stromberg. I watched the video: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/vp/39203874#39203874 and if you watch it you will realize that unlike Robert Gibbs, Biden has class. Nowhere does he say "grow up" or anything similar. Instead, the tone was respectful. Biden gave progressives advice and warned them what a Republican-led Congress could be like.

My rule of thumb is this: Don't trust the mainstream media. Go to the source.

5. Folks back in the 50's and 60's and maybe some of the 70's

the Washington Post used to be a wonderful newspaper. That's when Kathryn Graham was running it. After the republican corporate masters bought it out is sucks. I wouldn't spend 2 cents on it.

9. And I don't, any longer. And their on-line version STINKS!

Can't open this story, even with correct link OR at WaPo site! REALLY want to write to them about this 'story.'

10. I feel like I can safely say that Biden would never tell any voters to "grow up" -

he has too much respect for people. He's been in office for over 36 years, he knows who he's working for.
