slamming an 11 - year - old for wearing season - appropriate clothing aligns with a previous incident in daily caller history. in june 2012, a daily caller reporter interrupted an address by president barack obama with questions, drawing a backlash from longtime beltway reporters who argued that the president should be able to finish his speech. “everyone’s defying precedent today, it seems, ” tweeted a daily caller staffer at the time .

in another twist, abc news reported that “carlos” appeared briefly on camera in the network’s own interviews with the alleged prostitutes. after abc news published its story, the daily caller acknowledged that a man identifying himself as “carlos” translated the interviews on which its original report was based. the daily caller said it did not compensate the man .

ascertaining the low point of tucker carlson’s run as editor - in - chief of the daily caller could well be placed in a multiple - choice context. was it when he :
“ it’s high time barron trump starts dressing like he’s in the white house, ” writes daily caller entertainment reporter ford springer, about an 11 - year - old kid. credit springer and the staff of the daily caller for fashioning a headline that appropriately couches the story’s shaming of an 11 - year - old boy for how he dresses on summer vacation .

with the 2012 election weeks away — and no public action taken by ms. sloan’s group or by the f. b. i. — someone brought the material to the daily caller, the conservative web site. david martosko, the site’s executive editor, would not say in an interview last week who had contacted the site. but the daily caller rushed to arrange video interviews with two women claiming to be prostitutes involved with mr. menendez and to post the story on the internet. the timing hurt its efforts at exposure, however, as hurricane sandy had just hit. the daily caller tried to increase coverage by letting the drudge report break the news, which the caller posted on nov. 1 .

again, this material isn’t much different from the 2013 pieces that kaus managed to sneak by the daily caller censors. it’s obsessive and opinionated and, unlike most criticisms of fox news, doesn’t come from a liberal standpoint. and since it’s a well - worn polemic from a persistent voice on immigration, it wasn’t making a lot of waves on the internet, at least not outside the daily caller’s offices .

the washington post sought a statement from the daily caller’s chief, tucker carlson (also a fox news contributor), but carlson, despite his usual enthusiasm for media attention, refused to make a comment. there have been no corrections or updates to any of the reports previously published by the daily caller, breitbart, or fox. this is consistent with their standard operating practice of hyping smears and innuendos, but neglecting to set the record straight when their lies are exposed .

the daily caller’s executive editor at the time, david martosko, took the menendez story over from boyle. amid all the confusion created by figueroa’s conflicting statements on his involvement in the escort story, martosko stood by the conservative website’s version of events and said that the publication verified the story when it initially ran .

the caller is forever being compared to the huffington post. both mix actual political news with slapdash opinion columns and lowbrow slide shows (“10 women hotter than mila kunis”). but there are differences, too. the caller puts more emphasis on its own reporting, whereas huffpo is happy to feature someone else’s story. the caller’s headlines tend to be less misleading and opaque. and the caller, while not averse to linking to a photo of kate middleton doffing her top, doesn’t have the same unrelenting fetish for famous women’s accidentally exposed body parts .
understandably, it can be difficult to keep all of it straight. so here’s a guide to the players involved in the debunked allegations that menendez paid underage women for sex in the dominican republic, a story first published by the daily caller just days ahead of the new jersey democrat’s 2012 reelection .

the daily caller, tucker carlson' s conservative version of huffington post, is at the center of a media controversy. and loving it. in november, the caller published a story based on two anonymous dominican women claiming that new jersey sen. robert menendez had paid them for sex. abc news says it received similar information at the same time, as republican operatives organized interviews with those two women, plus a third woman the caller did not talk to, all of whom said the senator paid them for sex. but abc news didn' t run with the story, because
none of the women could produce identity cards with their names, and they all provided the same story almost word for word, as if they had been coached .

the latest example of the unscrupulous deceit practiced by right - wing media involves an undocumented accusation that democratic senator bob menendez of new jersey was cavorting with prostitutes in the dominican republic. menendez denied the charges from the start, but that didn’t stop the unethical reporters at the daily caller from disseminating the story, which eventually wormed its way up the media food chain from breitbart to fox to other more mainstream outlets .
“while the family still have confidence in the metropolitan police department’s ability to investigate seth’s murder, of course, they are frustrated with the lack of evidence, leads and credible information about the case, ” brad bauman a spokesman for the family, told the daily caller news foundation. “they desperately want to find seth’s murderers and bring them to justice as quickly as possible. ”
the daily caller launched monday with 21 staffers, pulled from publications like the washington times, washington city paper and national journal’s government executive. megan mulligan, formerly a news editor at the guardian, joined as the site’s executive editor. carlson said that he didn’t ask applicants about their political beliefs, and the group selected to launch are from a variety of backgrounds .

contrary to claims that this is a shocking new video, obama’s speech was covered at the time by most of the press, including fox news. even the daily caller’s publisher, tucker carlson, reported on this video when he anchored a program on msnbc. the feverish presentation of this video is nothing more than a transparent attempt to manufacture controversy where none exists .
martosko was hired to replace mulligan, who left in july 2011. since her departure, and the departures of several reporters, including jonathan strong—who left to join roll call —the site seems to have tacked more to the right. it has, in the words of one former employee, turned into “drudge report plus. ” defenders of the caller like to say that it’s actually harder on republicans than democrats and that complaints to the contrary illustrate media bias. when i told martosko i thought the caller had clear conservative leanings, he said the assessment said more about me than about the caller .
the caller doesn’t always live up to carlson’s standards. “there are days when i’m distressed, where we’ve fallen far short of what i want, ” he says. his critique, though, isn’t what you might expect. he’s most concerned when stories are boring, and he sees tabloids such as the daily mail and the new york post as models .
a few weeks later, the drudge report trumpeted a forthcoming caller story with the headline sex scandal to hit campaign. it turned out to be a puzzlingly brief article by matthew boyle in which he reported that two prostitutes in the dominican republic said they’d had sex with bob menendez, the democratic senator from new jersey, and that he hadn’t fully paid the bill for their services. (a menendez spokeswoman told the caller the allegations were “completely false. ”) like the dated reverend wright scoop, the story generated momentary buzz for the caller but fizzled almost instantly, hardly justifying drudge’s dramatic all - caps treatment .
one of washington’s most enduring mysteries deepened thursday, when politico reported that former fishbowldc editor betsy rothstein would join the daily caller as a blogger. the news interrupted a week of schadenfreude on the part of rothstein’s detractors, who had exulted in the abrupt end of her tenure at the media gossip site fishbowldc—we are asked to believe it was a resignation—after a local publicist sued her for libel .
the article is a re - posting from the daily caller web site which is run by fox news contributor tucker carlson. it was written by patrick howley, someone they identify as an “investigative reporter, ” despite his history as a violent right - wing activist who admitted to infiltrating occupydc for the purpose of undermining it. howley asserts in his opening paragraph that…
but either the minnesota democrat or his staff did not seem particularly interested to find out as the daily caller news foundation had emailed both brett morrow, a spokesman for ellison’s congressional office, and eric walker, a dnc spokesman, weeks prior with information and questions. those emails went unreturned, and did not result in a briefing on the capitol police investigation .
the put - up - your - dukes attitude has made the daily caller a rising star among the new washington media, particularly the conservative kind... . one of its first attention - grabbing stories was its reporting in 2010 on journolist, an e - mail group started by post blogger ezra klein in which reporters privately trashed various politicians, most of them conservative .
our sources were not anonymous. we didn’t release their names, but we posted their videos on our website, with their faces blocked out, to respect their privacy ,

paid to have sex with the senator, and they do have names and faces ,

the fox news commentator launches his new web site, the daily caller, on monday. his partner is neil patel, a former dick cheney aide. his opinion editor is moira bagley, who spent 2008 as the republican national committee' s press secretary. and his $ 3 million in funding comes from wyoming financier foster friess, a big - time gop donor .
we don' t think that all the stories referring to the senator are an attack on his character ,
gonzalez said .
late yesterday, after our statement went out, the washington post released an investigative piece on the senator. our statement referred to conservative websites such as the daily caller and also bill o' reilly who rely on anonymous sources to spread allegations linking the senator with underage prostitution .
the videotaped claims of two women, made with their faces obscured, were posted on the conservative web site the daily caller. the site reported that “the two women said they met menendez around easter at casa de campo, an expensive 7, 000 - acre resort in the dominican republic... . they claimed menendez agreed to pay them $ 500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $ 100. ”
the fox nationalists sourced this ridiculous article to the laughably inept daily caller. the author, patrick howley, is actually identified as an “investigative reporter, ” despite his history as a violent right - wing activist who admitted to infiltrating occupydc for the purpose of undermining it. howley also recently alleged an absurd scheme by a media investor to buy up all the gun - related magazines in order to shut them down .

telling: the kaus piece, as it turned out, had been scrubbed from the site by daily caller management. when kaus sought an explanation from carlson, he received these words: “can’t trash fox on the site. sorry. i work there. ” as mentioned before, carlson works the morning shift on weekends at fox news. carlson didn’t return e - mails from the erik wemple blog seeking comment on the matter .
there’s no evidence that fox news itself ever asked carlson to impose his no - negative - news policy on the daily caller newsroom. no matter, according to kaus — that demonstrates its power. “i think they sort of have a monopoly on the careers of ambitious journalists on the right. if fox shuts you out, you have deep trouble becoming a star, ” he says .
carlson represented the right on cnn’s “crossfire” from 2001 until it was canceled in 2005 following a segment with “daily show” host jon stewart. photograph by william reagan / globe photos / zumapress .
resort to racism, of course. led by the daily caller and the drudge report, and buttressed by fox news, the right is now hyperventilating over a five year old video of obama talking about the well - documented failure to adequately respond to the devastation caused by hurricane katrina in new orleans. they think that people have forgotten about george bush’s deadly neglect and his praise for fema crony michael “heckuva job” brown .
when carlson enters the caller’s office, no one leaps to attention. he seems more buddy than boss. one young reporter keeps her feet up on the desk. the flat - screen on the wall is tuned to fox news .
the numbers back that up. the caller averages 8 million unique visitors a month, which is the metric carlson tracks most closely. the site was profitable for the first time in the second quarter of 2012, not bad for a publication just two years old .
apparently mr. huffman has never watched fox news, or even read the web site his column appears on. either that or he is admitting that fox news and the daily caller are not “legitimate news outlets, ” which would make more sense. fox personalities from glenn beck to eric bolling to sean hannity, and more, have made overt references to president obama as a muslim, a marxist, a socialist, a communist, a kenyan, a racist, etc. and the daily caller, a web site run by fox contributor tucker carlson, is every bit as bad. huffman’s attempt to portray those ludicrous sentiments as the product of insignificant blogs backfires in the face of the truth: that the most prodigious disseminater of those vile lies is the heart of the right - wing media and the highest rated cable news network, fox news .
it’s nice to know that republicans in congress are working hard on the issues that matter to the american people. and, of course, none of this is coordinated. the congressional activity, the investigation by the daily caller (run by fox news contributor, tucker carlson), the massive coverage of the story by fox, and the imminent release of an anti - fox book. it’s all just an incredible coincidence. it must be – fox news said so:
