When I compare the Hannity propagandizing to the MSNBC propagandizing mal posted, there are a couple of interesting differences.
The Hannity stunt was clearly misinformation (it was the wrong footage). But done so in a manner that preserves plausible deniability. They claim it was inadvertant, I don't believe them. But I nor anyone else can prove it was intentional.
The MSNBC stunt was not as clear cut a case of misinformation, since they were at least showing the correct footage, they simply chose to film it in a way that concealed a man's skin color. But there is no friggin way they can claim it was inadvertant.
So Hannity pulls a stunt where he can later apologize and say it wasn't on purpose. And MSNBC pulls a stunt for which they'll never have to apologize since there was nothing technically incorrect included in their broadcast.
I don't really have a point here, just thought it was kind of interesting to see two very different approaches to biased media douchebaggery.
