Mediaite have flagged up a painful but important “lesson” for CNS News journalist Fred Lucas, who is asking White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’ opinion on a quote, which he attributes to the new health care chief Donald Berwick.
But upon pushing for a reaction from the press secretary, he comes unstuck as Gibbs retaliates with the quote himself, claiming it was actually the words of Republican Congressman Paul Ryan.
It hardly pulls the best reaction from Lucas’ fellow journalists either.
