For example, there is no evidence that Anita Dunn's reference sto Mao and Mother Teresa were 'ironic', judging from the clip played by Glenn Beck, she was very serious about these references. (I am not in any way condoning Glenn Beck, who also has serious problems of his own, just pointing to the evidence cited on his show). In any case, this is yellow journalism, which doesn't help the public discourse.
