I see your Fox News bashing thread, and raise you an MSNBC bashing one... except mine is legitimate
I'm sure you're already aware, but I want to know your reaction to what you think about a "news organization" (you hold in higher regard than the one you love to lambaste) deliberately editing a video clip of a man at an Obama rally to support the narrative that it's about racism?
Yeah... they edited out the rest of the guy's body from the original video because he's BLACK.
Opinion journalism a la Olbermann, Matthews, Hannity, Beck, or whatever is one thing; but to purposely distort source material to wratchet up racial tensions? I believe Media Research Center President Brent Bozell says it best:
quote:
This goes beyond "sloppy" reporting by MSNBC. This was a deliberate effort to brand conservatives as racists - and now as violent racists.
Since the beginning of the presidential campaign, this so-called "news" network has tried desperately to convince viewers that opposition to Barack Obama must be race-based. Now they are actually producing deliberately misleading stories to push that agenda. As a "news" network, MSNBC is a disgrace.
MSNBC owes this man and the tens of thousands of protestors a public apology. It should also extend that apology to its tens of thousands of viewers.
This "you're a racist" shit is getting old fast. I wonder what the difference in meida coverage would be if Faux News did this rather than MSNBC... hmmm

maybe you're the one bringing race into the issue?!?!
i see "MAN" being used...as in General...
If I recall, no liberals threaten to assassinate the president, or forming right wing militias armed to the teeth, and having to be raided by the FBI/ATF.

I remember hearing enough liberals saying they wish someone WOULD assassinate George Bush. Just because the left-wing media didn't report it doesn't mean it never happened.
The reason they don't create militias is because they support gun-control. Duh.

Nope they just go quietly along capitulating, and prostrate for people like this guy.

I noticed several edits in the YouTube video of the airing, so it is hard to tell who is editing who. Show me the UNEDITED video of the newscast before I can make a call.
