Cuz for every 1 idiot that watches MSNBC there are a hundred thousand idiots(mostly senile but avid voting) who watch Fox News.
That was also bad, but at least it was the actual guy and not some other guy they taped two months earlier.
No excuse for either.
Lame excuse . . .
You say "No excuse for either" but in the first paragraph you come up with an excuse for MSNBC . . .
I love that Hannity says his staff "inadvertently" mixed footage that was several months old with footage of the actual event. It was just lying around and they spliced it in?
I didn't. I just portrayed is at marginally better than Fox, saying it could have been worse -- like Fox was.
No excuse for either.
Yeah, Fox used a video to exaggerate numbers at a protest --- MSNBC used a video as a pretext to talk about racism and possible attempts on Obama's life. Yeah, Fox was worse.
Maybe CNN can take a clue from that. Even thought they slandered another person's name and all Hannity's producer did was get a wrong video. This shows the level of credibility that Hannity and Fox hold and maintain in a market overloaded with partisan drive by's.
In that it wasn't even footage of what they said it was, yes.Yeah, Fox used a video to exaggerate numbers at a protest --- MSNBC used a video as a pretext to talk about racism and possible attempts on Obama's life. Yeah, Fox was worse.
No excuse for either.
at "inadvertent" -- do they not have date codes on Fox News video?
I didn't imply that troll.
Did MSNBC ever acknowledge their mistake? Did they admit they were intentionally trying to hide that man's race to advance a narrative? Did they say oops we messed up? Did they say anything at all?
I'm asking because I don't know.
Hannity said it, idiot.
Nobody watches MSNBC, so who would know?
i like the way hannity thanks stewart for watching his show. that is what they do dumbass! they make fun of the news!
Hannity was just letting him know that they care more about ratings than the news. No surprise there.
Why do you care about Hannity says or thinks? Seriously, if you think he is a joke then why would you care about what he says or thinks? Besides, he's on FOX News so that means that he is a complete idiot and lousy excuse for a human being.
Recent court procedures and rulings confirm this.
Say what you want about Fox vs MSNBC vs CNN vs Huff vs Drudge...whatever.
Bottom line, they all signed themselves as "Friends of Fox" in the upcoming Supreme Court ruling that basically determines whether these "news" networks can knowingly lie to you.
Like the gun-toting Black guy being trimmed out...
Like re-using old footage...
Like lying about Palin's granddaughter being her daughter...
Youre all much better off finding some other venue to get your news. I havent watched network news since the election and probably wont until the next one either.
Because the moment they win in the Supreme Court (and they will easily), it will be a new lease on the news cycle to fabricate and outright lie about everything their network has an interest in, political or financial.
Robert Murdoch is heavily invested in an international offshore drilling company? "BREAKING NEWS: Largest Oil reserve ever found right off our shores!!! Obama wont tap that ass, surprised...outraged?"
Ted Turner has a vested interest in the outcome of immigration reform, seeing as his non-television business depends on migrant workers? "NEWS @ 11: Immigrant workers have rare natural resistance to toxic work conditions, study shows. They do jobs Americans wont do!"
Nevermind the more seedy implications this will have, the manipulation of facts and do ents to show what Big Brother wants you to see, even if it requires blatant and willful video tampering, splicing or wholesale CGI.
News stations obviously want to be able to lie to us, this way they can control what youre most concerned about. If its a concentrated effort as whole (meaning every news netowrk is in on the gag), they could fabricate anything and everything. It can get bad to worse, good to better at the whims of a few.
Even worse or more telling is the Government's role in this. You think the government has some objection to News stations being able to lie to the American people?!, if they could, they'd sign themselves as Friend to Fox before Ted Turner got his morning coffee.
You all might as well stop watching television news now as the amount of bull youre going to be parroting in the near future is going to relegate you to zombie-idiot status.
What Fox did was outright lie, but the lie that it spread only hurt their reporting.
What MSNBC did was worse, they incited hatred towards the people they were covering by implicating that they all want to assasinate the President of the US because of his race. Moreso, in this case where fox violated one of the points of the Hippocratic oath, MSNBC voilated all.
JOURNALIST’S OATH
I _______ In obedience to the dictates of my own conscience vow to serve the public with news and information as free of bias and distortion as is within my skill to do so.
I will strive to bring balance, depth and perspective to the work I offer, so it may enlighten and inform.
I will at all times remain mindful of the distinction between opinion and journalism and make it clear in which voice I am speaking.
I will honor the public trust, by refusing to use my influence as a journalist to advance the propaganda of governments, organizations or advertisers.
I will protect the secrecy of my confidential sources to ensure the public’s right to know is not thwarted by conspiracies of silence.
I vow not to libel another person’s character, reputation or legacy.
I affirm my commitment to this noble public trust in concord with all journalists of goodwill and integrity, for the betterment of the communities that I serve.
Specifically with the "i swill protect the sercrecy of my cons uents..." in spirit. MSNBC while was not dealing with a source which wished to remain secret, they violated the trust and fiduciary duty to not harm that voice of which they are covering. They deliberately mischaracterised the protesters and had no respect for them.
One?Moreso, in this case where fox violated one of the points of the Hippocratic oath
Hippocratic?
Yeah bill moyers.. he's an asshole.One?
Hippocratic?
D.C. journalist Bill Moyers said, “I wish we (journalists) had a professional Hippocratic Oath of our own that might stir us in the night when we stray from our mission.” http://www.studyjournalism.com/?p=278
Hannity as an oppinion commentator is not bound by some of those points because he is not held to provide balance. He lied, but he didn't libel or slander anybody's character on this occasion, like MSNBC.One?
Hippocratic?
