Dave Weigel, "journalist"

Dave Weigel is a supposed journalist who contributes to Reason Magazine, the Washington Independent, and other sites. The parent company of the second outfit received funding from a Rockefeller foundation and from George Soros. For an example of his journalistic failings, he's repeatedly misled about the Obama citizenship issue. For an example of him lying about that issue, see this.

Part of the reason why he continues to mislead about that issue appears to be because he isn't intelligent enough to understand the difference between evidence and proof; part of it appears to be his strong support for Obama; and part of it appears to be that he knows that if he actually looks into the truth about that issue he'd be ostracized by other low-level members of the Beltway establishment.

For another example of his journalistic failings, in January he wrote a post about me on his personal blog. I attempted to respond by signing up and leaving a comment, but he never approved the comment. Here's what David Weigel doesn't want you to see.

I've repeatedly challenged him to simply pick up the phone, call Hawaii, and try to confirm his assumptions. I've even provided the questions to ask and the phone number to call. He's refused. Please ask yourself what sort of journalist would repeatedly refuse to do something as simple as picking up the phone, when simply getting an answer to those questions could put the whole matter to rest?
