The Kansas City Star TV Barn blowhard made some hay last week when he tweeted: "Fox News PR just emailed to let me know Glenn Beck will be raising fears tonight on his TV show. No poop, Poirot."8:22 AM Oct 8th from TweetDeck." [Hercule Poirot, Belgian detective, first appearing in the novel "The Mysterious Affair at Styles", by Agatha Christie]
Turns out Fox PR says there was no email about Glenn Beck "raising fears" about swine flu and Barnhart (above with "Mrs B.") is lying. No shit, Sherlock! Barnhart downplays his "Tweet" which MSNBC's Keith Olbermann snapped up like a starving pit bull, as "smartass" but refuses to tell the enquiring minds at Fox publicity anything about the mysterious email that never was.
Barnhart got an on-air blow job from Olbermann who credited him with the Beck "Tweet." In "Thanks for the shout-out, Keith," Barnhart pimps Olbermann's one-hour "Special Comment" on health care with a video preview.
So how did Aaron Barnhart morph from Chicago real estate to "journalist"
He morphed the same way most of them do these days: Yesterday he couldn't spell journalist, and today he are one.
