Pistol Pete Fires At Post-Dispatch: Declares the Paper To Be Dishonest, "Thoroughly Corrupt"

Emboldened by his many recent successes, Peter Kinder is stepping up his attacks on the editorial board and reporters at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He cites specific concerns about the paper's decision to edit a letter to the editor more than he would have liked, but also declares their editorial board and newsroom to be dishonest and "thoroughly corrupt." Speaking this afternoon with Dana Loesch on 97.1 FM:

When you can't deal with the facts and you don't have logical arguments, you try to engage in fearmongering...

If the day ever did exist when the Post-Dispatch did honest, completely open, above the board, no-agenda reporting of the news, that day is behind us. They no ever longer have the integrity that we have every right to expect from a daily newspaper...

It's really sad, the loss of integrity and the loss of honor there.

Listen:
 

Earlier in the day, at the Capitol rally sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, Kinder declared that the Post-Dispatch and other unnamed media sources are "thoroughly corrupt."

Kinder promises to "fight back" through alternative media, including talk radio, blogs like the one run by "Gateway Pundit" Jim Hoft and social networking websites. 

The top Republican in Missouri, ladies and gentlemen.
