Obama Downplays Scarlett Johansson Emails

Scarlett Johansson, a big supporter of Barack Obama, recently gushed that she frequently trades emails with the presidential candidate. Obama, however, is downplaying the notion that he walks in such lofty circles:

As he headed to a Hollywood fundraiser, Sen. Barack Obama downplayed the idea that he hobnobs with actress Scarlett Johansson...

...speaking to reporters aboard his campaign plane, Obama said the actress doesn't have his personal email address. "She sent one email to Reggie, who forwarded it to me," Obama said, referring to his 26-year-old personal assistant, Reggie Love. "I write saying, 'thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this email relationship"

Huffington Post's headlines are ridiculous sometimes. This is one of them. How you get "throwing her under the bus" out of that story is mind boggling to me.

Aye, nothing like being sensationalist to make people believe you don't actually report the facts. Please HuffPo, please stop this. We look to you for news, not National Enquirer headlines.

You are absolutely correct,

It seems that with each passing week, HuffPo features headlines that bear no resemblance to the substance of the story they precede.

It's very annoying, and will ultimately drive down readership.

Exactly. HuffPo, you're turning YELLOW.

as much as we hate the MSM, HuffPo isn't above taking cheap political jabs to get clicks, pretty sad
