BUSTED AGAIN! Think Progress gets caught faking another "Racist" Tea Party story!

[Jarhead]

Yes, there were two documented incidents where they used film from a different story.
15 years in existance and two times it happened. But the competitoion ran it over and over making it seem like a lot more times.

Come on. The photos were to make the tea party whatever look a lot bigger than it was. That was no mistake - you KNOW that was intentional. I don't think Fox has much integrity at all. Then, I don't trust the others either.

LMAO...and I was at the NYC tea party that had 12K and no violence and NBC said ...

"a few hundred people gathered to angrily express their dissent of Obama and we should thank the NYPD for not allowing things to get out of hand"

When NBC was presented with "why did you say a few hundred" they said

"we erred. We did not know more came later in the day"...(there were an estimated 12K at the beginning of the ralley)

And for whatever reason, that was OK

Is it at all possible that Fox made a mistake? Of course not.

Only people on the left are allowed to make mistakes?

 

[Mr. Peepers]

Is it at all possible that Fox made a mistake? Of course not.

Not with replacing old photos with those that were supposed to have been taken "live" that day. I don't buy it at all. You don't just have old tapes lying around and accidentally grab it. That is not a mistake. And it happened TWICE.

 

[NYcarbineer]

One day the tea partiers are claiming there is no Tea Party, the next they're claiming some guy isn't IN the Tea Party.

which is it?

Killian documents controversy

Game, set, match, championship

And you call what they do spin and what CNN and NBC not spin?? You are indeed a biased tool..... Fox is no more obviously spinning than the other mainstream sources are to the left... and those are nowhere close to the source cited in the OP....

 

[Jarhead]

Twice? A whole two times and that is it....they are liars?

You are aware, of course, that the photos used really did not embellish the truth as there were pretty much as many people there as were seen in the "wrong" photo?

But, of course, I noticed you said nothing about NBC, a major network and one that accuses Fox of being biased referred to the NYC tea party as a small gathering of a few hundred ANGRY people....and embellished it with "thanks to the NYPD for not letting t get out of hand"

This was AFTER the NYPD put out their statement saying that there were an estimated 12K that attneded and that there was no violence reported and no arrests made.
They referred to it as a peaceful gathering.

Why are you so quick to give a pass to NBC, CBS and ABC for misrepresenting the tea parties but not williung to give a pass to Fox who used a photo that did nothing but give reason for people to think it was a sunny day when, in fact it was a cloudy day?

 

[Jarhead]

What a rediculous assholish spinning trolling remark.

Typical of you.

 

[DiamondDave]

The bias that clearly stands out is your own

No, actually, it isn't. If you want to rely on right-wing propaganda, be my guest. I'll stick w/ the BBC, NPR news and PBS.

Funny.. I watch multiple news sources.. including both Fox and CNN...

That does not take away from the fact that you are deluded by your extremely evident bias

I have already stated that Fox leans right on reporting and further right on non-news programing... but your blinders do not let you see that it is exactly the same (except for to the left) on the sources such as MSNBC, CBS, CNN, etc.... with even probably the least left leaning ABC still quite evidently pulling left

Again... it is your bias that is easily the most glaring

 

[Mr. Peepers]

I told you, the blatant bias is not as obvious on those channels as on Fox, and no, I don't watch any of those regularly. I already posted my news sources.

Idiot. Again, I don't watch any of those regularly. I only watch/read/listen to real, objective news sources. I don't HAVE a bias. I want the news the way it happens with no opinion, thanks.

If you think PBS and NPR have absolutely no bias, I really don't know what to tell you... except that you are delusional... there is indeed bias in every news coverage involving human input and writing... you do indeed have a bias and it has been evident as you have posted here.... I could try and proclaim I don't have a bias, even if I do not cite winger sources and show that I post on logical thinking and analysis.... but it is quite evident I do have a conservative bias, just as you do show that you have a leftist bias

You say this despite the example that I gave you about NBC?
You say this despite the example I gave about The NEw Black Panther story not being reported AT ALL?

I fear you are one of those people that have been convinced of something that is not factual.

It is sad and pathetic.

 

[Mr. Peepers]

You say this despite the example that I gave you about NBC?

Sorry, but the NBC thing sounds more believable than two "misplaced" pictures.

 

[Mr. Peepers]

You say this despite the example I gave about The NEw Black Panther story not being reported AT ALL?

Who gives a shit about a fringe extremist group??? And I did see that story - it's not relevant to ANYTHING. Do you care what the KKK or Aryan nation are singing? They're all a bunch of extremist nutjobs. Good grief. You gotta pick your battles, you know. Is that really news?

Yo...listen up....

The New Black Panther story was not news becuase of the New Black Panthers.

It was a story about the DoJ...you know....the group that YOU pay for that has the responsibility to maintian the integrity of our legal system that YOU pay for and live by?
Jeez....

Now I see your problem.

 

[Jarhead]

You say this despite the example that I gave you about NBC?

Sorry, but the NBC thing sounds more believable than two "misplaced" pictures.

So YOU are the biased one.

NBC reporting that a few hundred (usually taken as less than 500) showed up and referring to them as angry (implying on verge of riot status) and then thanking the NYPD for not letting it get out of hand (implying that police action was required to keep things in check)...

when they reported that based on a police statement that said:

Approximately 12K were there.
It was a peaceful gathering
There was no violence
There were no arrests.

ANd Fox showed a picture of thousands of people on a sunny day when, in fact, there were thousands of people on a cloudy day.

And you say that Fox was trying to decieve the people when weather was not even part of the story and NBC did no harm of any value.

Pathetic.

 

[Mr. Peepers]

It was a story about the DoJ...you know....the group that YOU pay for that has the responsibility to maintian the integrity of our legal system that YOU pay for and live by?

Oh really? This story smacks of right-wing mud slinging tactics. Besides, Bush dropped a very similar case during his campaign with a man "hunting" hispanic voters, remember - and that guy had a GUN - and no one was remanded? Oops. And the person who was intimidating with a nightstick was indicted, right? What's your beef? That the other two weren't found to be intimidating voters (In a largely democratic precinct, no less... because you want to intimidate people who vote like you do....)?

Oh, and there's this. Bush is the one who dropped the case to a civil matter - on January 7th, 2009. Interesting. See, you took it at face value without looking at all the angles. So who is right?

"This means that the case was downgraded to a civil case 11 days before Obama was inaugurated, 26 days before Eric Holder became attorney general, and about nine months before Thomas Perez was confirmed as head of the Civil Rights Division."

This is according to Perez's testimony which I have attached.

Sadly, your UN-biased media only told you half the story.
Seems you are unaware that they ignored a subpoeona to appear in court.
Seems you are unaware that a default judgement was levied against them.
Seems you are unaware that they, in a way, mocked the judicial system by ignoring it.
Seems you are unaware that despite all of this, not only were the charges dropped...but the charges no longer existed. What was dropped was the default judgement.
It is unprecedented and unheard of. AND unexplained by the DoJ...you know who they are...the ones that are supposed to maintain the integrity of the legal system....not give a pass to those that mock it?

The sotry had nothing to do with what they did wrong. They likely would have had the charges dropped if they appeared in court and defended themselves.

Instead, they siad "hell with the legal system"....and the DoJ not only let them get away with it, but they rewarded them for it.

At the cost of OUR dime and at the cost of the integrity of the legal system.

Yep....YOUR UNBIASED media told you only half the sotry. The UNIMPOORTANT HALF.

In reality they named him as someone running as a Republican that was encouraging the tea partiers to cultivate racists.

Are you stupid or just a bad liar?

http://www.usmessageboard.com/tea-party/125456-tea-party-racism-reality-vs-propoganda.html

Actually many media outlets blatantly LIE about the tea parties and use footage, out of context, to misrepresent them

THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING

And foxnews is one of the worst offenders as they try to prop up and support the tea parties. Imagine that. LOL How many tea partiers were actually at that event in which foxnews used footage of a different event as they tried to prop up the numbers??

 

[drsmith1072]

Lets keep EXPOSING these traitors and ENEMIES we have WITHIN folks.

We know the Lamestream Media won't do, they have become ENENIES to the American people too. the sooner ALL see this the better.

Lets take OUR COUNTRY BACK.

I know the liberals on here just HATE me. It's so much fun!

No one hates you but several do laugh at you as you come on here and post something you read from a blog as you pretend that you made the argument. Then in most cases you end up cutting and running from your own thread when the conversation starts going over your head which is usually about by the second page if not before then.

 

[drsmith1072]

That's what liberals do. They take out of context.

SO I am curious....

If I were a pack leader in the cub scouts....and I held a meeting for volunteers....and one of the people that volunteers stands up and starts talking about how we can fund raise by selling pictures of the boys in their underwear.....And as I have him escorted out of the meeting he continues to say how it would be in everyones best interest if they consider his advice (enocuraging them to listen)....

Should the cub scouts then be considered a group run by perverted pedophiles?

Well check out these NAACP members nodding their heads and applauding this talk about racism, and liberals tell us the NAACP isn't racist.

WOW you talk about the left taking things out of context and then you play that EXCERPT of her statements and take them out of context even as you ignore the rest of her story. Thanks for exposing yourself as nothing but a blog parroting hypocritical tool.
