MSNBC Edits video footage to support racist slant

[Sedai]

Yup - We all saw the story about the AR-15 toting fellow at the Phoenix, AZ rally recently. Check out the slant this network puts on the story...

The video covers the problem of "white people" showing up at presidential events with guns.

Say....here is another video of the same man, where they actually speak to him and stuff:

Absolutely deplorable.

[Sir Toose]

That's incredible.

It's the same as it ever was though. if you can't actually refute an argument then play the race card.

I hate the current government too but it has nothing to do with race.

Let's face it, there are some people who are simply going to believe that all opposition to anything this administration does is rooted in some form of racism. For many, this is the prism through which everything will be seen. It bears a truly startling resemblance to the racism it sees everywhere.

There's nothing we can do about this, other than to stay close to the truth and never give them the slightest actual reason to project that paranoia onto us. And never, ever allow ourselves to be afraid to say what we really think because we might get labeled this way.

[Sedai]

Indeed, and I agree. I do get incensed when I see this stuff, though...

[Caitlyn]

Just one more reason why, with the exception of Timmy, I dislike news reporters so much... they twist whatever they have to to make a story...

[Sedai]

I would like to hear Ruf chime in on this one. I bet he would have a few words about this alleged "reporting."

[Sedai]

The next person that says ANYTHING about 'fair and balanced news', while they trumpet their lil pet networks, they will get directed to this video set ASAP.

[Yoda]

Yeah, I love the sarcastic references to that slogan. As if "the most trusted name in news" doesn't imply the same thing. They all purport to be "fair and balanced," just not in those exact words.
