I see your Fox News bashing thread, and raise you an MSNBC bashing one... except mine is legitimate :p
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. :stongue:
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" is getting old fast. I wonder what the difference in meida coverage would be if Faux News did this rather than MSNBC... hmmm
DjWhooCares
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.

Doesn't everyone know? Enlightened liberals can do no wrong.

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.
