Ron Fournier's Absurd Apology

National Journal reporter Ron Fournier took the opportunity to apologize early this morning for what he says was an insensitive comment he made on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” using the word “jihad.”

Yestday, I used “jihad” to describe journo inquiries, an inaccurate/irresponsible word choice. My apology. nbcnews.com/id/3036789/ns/… @presssec

What he said at 13:10: “The irony here is that President Obama by raising a jihad against the press has now made it more likely that that we are now likely to have what he called dumb wars,” he said.
