Fox Still Reporting Myth That Census Director Reported To White House
December 21, 2010 9:05 pm ET — 1 Comments

Reviving a nearly two-year-old GOP falsehood, Fox News' White House correspondent Wendell Goler falsely reported that under the Obama administration, "the Census director report[ed] to former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel instead of the Commerce Secretary." In fact, the administration made clear that the Census director reported directly to the Commerce Secretary.



So Fox lied? No. Look at the comment below.

quote:
Consider how pleased MSNBC's Rachel Maddow was Friday about this announcement:

Finally, on Wednesday night`s show, Rep. Barbara Lee of California, the head of the Congressional Black Caucus, voiced her opposition to Barack Obama`s nomination of Sen. Judd Gregg as Commerce Secretary. One of Rep. Lee`s biggest concerns, Gregg`s record on the census, which has major funding and policy implications for cities and states across the country and it`s something that minority groups in particular want to make sure is done right.

The reason Congresswoman Lee is concerned is because the census reports to the Commerce Department and would-be Commerce Secretary Judd Gregg fought against efforts by the Clinton administration to boost funding for the census.

The big follow-up to the story is that yesterday, it was reported that the White House is going to take the census out of the Commerce Department, and by extension, away from no-friend-to-the-census, Judd Gregg. The Census Bureau will reportedly now report directly to the White House.

I`m not saying that our discussion here had anything to do with this, of course, but I was wearing my lucky socks on Wednesday night. I`m just saying.

Hmmm. So, Rachel and her ilk -- including likely Barbara Lee -- are thrilled by Obama's coup.

Any question as to why this isn't getting a lot of coverage?
