The guillotine dropped on three heads responsible for the deliberately misleading edits to George Zimmerman’s 9-1-1 call on NBC.
Edits were clearly designed to portray the shooted of Trayvon Martin as a racist while raising tensions in an already volatile situation. Firings from NBC go unexplained. NBC’s actions vindicate the Media Research Center’s original point that NBC's two-sentence (non)apology was an insult, and that this is a network out of control.
On their cable news channel Andrea Mitchell did “address” the selective editing of a Mitt Romney clip implying Romney had never seen touchscreen technology — by saying the show “didn’t get a chance to play” the rest of the mischaracterized clip and moving on to another topic. Her show is an hour long.
Most recently, in response to a subpoena, NBC News turned over three versions of Bob Costas' NBC News interview with ex- Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky recently convicted of child sexual abuse, which aired last November on different NBC shows. A version, contained an erroneous repetition of a key question and answer - about whether Sandusky was sexually attracted to young boys.
The repetition, Sandusky's lawyers contend, made it appear to jurors that he was stonewalling.
I can't think of another news operation other than MSNBC that seems to be making apologizes left and right.
Ed Schultz apologizes for calling Laura Ingraham a slut.
Chris Hayes apologies for saying he has a hard time calling fallen American soldiers heroes.
Peter Alexander apologized for "words" he said during an interview with NAACP President Benjamin Jealous.
Thomas Roberts apologizes for empty chair interview stunt and misinformation about scheduled guest representing NOM (National Organization for Marriage).
Blaming its own staff for an “appalling lack of judgment,” MSNBC apologized for reporting that a phrase used by Mitt Romney on the campaign stump was used in the past by the Ku Klux Klan. The MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews, who was not involved with the original report, read an apology to the Romney campaign during his 5 p.m. program, “Hardball.”
Chris Matthews wasn't the only MSNBC anchor to apologize on behalf of the network for accusing Mitt Romney of using a KKK slogan earlier in the day.
MSNBC host Al Sharpton gave his seal of approval for MSNBC's apology because he also could not "nail down all the facts" on how Romney's comment had anything to do with the KKK slogan of "Keep America American."
Kieth Olbermann was suspended then fired for making hefty political donations to liberal/progressive politicians.
Rachel Maddow... google her yourself.
