[VCDL] MSNBC Edits out Black Man With A Gun

Postby allingeneral » Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:05:27

Congratulations, MSNBC, you have now set a new journalistic LOW,
showing that you really have the art of propaganda down pat.

At a recent Arizona town hall meeting with President Obama, there was
one person carrying a rifle. It was a black gun-owner with an AR-15
on his shoulder standing with other gun owners outside the town hall
building.

The media almost melted down, as is their tendency when it comes to
lawfully carried guns.

In their story, MSNBC shows only carefully cropped video of that black
gun-owner so that you could not tell his skin color, but only see his
gun. They then switch to video of a white gun-owner being interviewed
by a reporter. While there is plenty of video to be found of the
black gun owner talking to reporters elsewhere, MSNBC does not use any
of it.

Why did MSNBC crop that video?

Because the topic was about how gun-carrying protesters at the town
hall meetings are RACISTS!!!

You see, the rifle was eye-catching, but having a black man carrying
it simply wouldn't do for MSNBC's purposes, so they fixed that little
problem.

Anyway, I literally jumped out of my chair when I saw this video. I
don't suggest watching it while eating or drinking:

You beat me to the punch Rick,,I was just going to post that myself,, If it wasn;t MSNBC I would say that is unbeleivable the crap that a so called responsible news agency produces. I look at that video as a slap in the face of every white gun owner in the country, I wonder what other theories they will come up with in the future, The comparison to Squeeky Fromme was real top shelf work too!! I am glad I watch Fox ,,Too much of that MSNBC stuff could cause someone anger issues!

While I was just as disgusted by this blatant far-left propaganda as Philip was, I wasn't surprised at all. Maybe if MSNBC had actually reported the truth for once, then I would have choked on my lunch.

Thanks for posting the video, Rick. I wasn't able to view it on my Blackberry for some reason.

I just caught this on my phone. I watched the vid the other day and didnt notice anything funny. MSNBC has gone way too far this time. This is blatantly disgusting and despicable. Maybe Fox will pick this one up.

Now they've posted a pic of the guy from the rear and it is clearly a black man. These boneheads are ridiculous.
