Oh to be a influential liberal! I could be Al Gore, and while telling everyone that they need to live in thatch huts, I could live in big mansions and fly around in private jets. Or, I could be Michael Moore, and hang out with the 99% and tout democracy, while living in a 1% house, and forcing workers to join unions. Because, as well all know, nothing says democracy like forced union membership. But, David Gregory media talking head at NBC, may take the cake, He appeared on Meet the Press last week… Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world [...]

George Zimmerman to Sue NBC Over Selectively Edited 911 Recording
In a very interesting development, George Zimmerman is suing NBC for selectively editing the 911 tape from the night that Trayvon Martin was killed. Here is the CH 2.0 coverage from that time… NBC can’t seem to stay out of the propaganda game. They were, once again, caught with their grubby hands in the selective editing jar, and my are they so sorry… For being caught, that is. “During our investigation it became evident that there was an error made in the production process that we deeply regret,” NBC News said in a statement e-mailed to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. “We [...]
Media Bias: Administration Knew That Libya Attack Was Planned, Only ABC Covers it
Imagine, if you will, that our ambassador to Libya was killed. Then, imagine that the administration blamed the attack on a “spontaneous protest” over a YouTube video that no one watched. And, just to make it more interesting, let’s add that the Libyan government came out and said that it was a planned terrorist attack, and that they had warned the administration that it was coming…in advance of the attack. Imagine that security, in Libya, or anywhere else, was not increased. Imagine that the MSM played ball and used the death of our ambassador to Libya in order to attack [...]
Manhattan Infidel Selectively Edits the George Zimmerman Audio
In today’s post, I, the Manhattan Infidel, have decided to take a stab at selectively editing the infamous George Zimmerman audio. As many know the original audio goes like this: Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about. Dispatcher: Okay, and this guy – is he black, white or Hispanic? Zimmerman: He looks black. Which a major television network that shall remain nameless peacockselectively edited to this: Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black. While I respect and admire the job the [...]
Trayvon Martin Update: Call Didn’t Have Racial Slur After All? Zimmerman not a Racist?
The Martin case continues to evolve, much to the chagrin of the MSM. The more that comes out, the more the opportunistic, and shall we say, creative, coverage is blowing up in the dinosaur media’s faces. Some more came to light yesterday, so let’s take a look at the new details. After NBC was castigated for selectively editing the 911 tape to make Zimmerman look like a racist. Then, the ABC video that allegedly showed no injuries to Zimmerman actually did. And now, it seems that the CNN audio “enhancement” that indicated that Zimmerman used a racial slur has been [...]
NBC Apologizes for Edited Zimmerman 911 Call
NBC can’t seem to stay out of the propaganda game. They were, once again, caught with their grubby hands in the selective editing jar, and my are they so sorry… For being caught, that is. “During our investigation it became evident that there was an error made in the production process that we deeply regret,” NBC News said in a statement e-mailed to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. “We will be taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening in the future and apologize to our viewers.” When asked if anyone at Today had lost their job or had been reassigned as a [...]
Trayvon Martin Update: Leftist Twit Flips Out on CNN, More Information on the Police Video, and Voice Recognition
If you want a great example of a MSM talking head being prejudicial, and an overall twit? This guy is blasting Piers Morgan for not following the same “Standards and Practices,” that NBC aspires to when NBC engaged in selective editing of the 9-11 call? Well, are those the “standards and practices” that NBC claims? And, MSNBC ran a text version, which they later changed without comment, or apology. Since then, the news channel has changed that paragraph of the story on its website so it reads as follows: This guy looks like he’s up to no good,” Zimmerman said [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: November 2010
I’m a bit late getting the poll and post up, but here it is. Here is a breakdown of their worthiness: Nancy Pelosi- Self explanatory Valerie Jarret-From Always on Watch In his biography of Obama, “The Bridge,” David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, quotes White House senior adviser and longtime Obama friend Valerie Jarrett: “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. … He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — [...]
MSM Deathwatch: Slide Continues Even During Election Season
I have to admit it, I LOVE doing these posts. The MSM continues to lie, omit, attack, and spin, and more and more people are turning away. AND THEY SIMPLY DO NOT GET IT! For more on the crash and burn of the MSM, kindly take a look at this from Newsbusters. They’re out of excuses. Summer’s over. It’s after Labor Day. The kids are back in school. People are back into their routines. The trouble for the Big 3 broadcast networks is that those routines don’t include watching their early-evening newscasts. Beyond that, last week was a pivotal week [...]
The Democrats are Falling Apart: Two Telling Polls-UPDATED
I saw two polls today that have HUGE implications for both the Democrats and Republicans. Let’s take a look. First up, Hot Air has the link to this poll from NBC and the WSJ. While it did sample more Democrats than Republicans, it could be harbinger of death for the Democrats. Underpinning the gloom: Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the economy has yet to hit bottom, a sharply higher percentage than the 53% who felt that way in January. So much for the “Summer of Recovery.” When the propaganda is so separated from reality, the propaganda fails. As in recent [...]
When Emos Whine: NBC Infested With Fail
In other media related news, seems NBC is miffed at their favorite President. Hat tip to mediabistro.com – Stamping their feet and throwing out a, “That’s not fair!!” temper tantrum, NBC has filed a complaint about ABC getting too cozy with the Obama White House. Citing the last two ABC interviews, Charles Gibson in December and the very recent sit down with George Stephanopoulos, NBC claims that Stephy’s close friendship with Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel gives ABC an unfair edge. (Update: An NBC News spokesperson now tells us, “NBC News did not file a formal or informal complaint about this [...]
