About MSM planting and staging

Lots of MSM are all worked up over President Bush's people going over some procedures with those soldiers who talked to the President from Iraq.

No one says the President's people tried to plant questions or used props. But MSM still doesn't like what happened.

Funny, none of MSM was worked up when a reporter planted a question about body armor with a soldier who was taking part in a televised event with Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld.

The President's people didn't do anything so deceiving as write out a question and plant it with a soldier, and then report on the soldier's question without mentioning the reporter had set it all up.

And it's funny how NBC, which is one of the MSM outfits most worked up about what the President's people did, is the very same outfit that had a reporter paddling in a canoe as she reported for NBC's Today show's viewers the flooding in New Jersey.

It all seemed pretty dramatic reporting until a couple of guys innocently walked in front of the reporter, and we could all see the water was only a few inches deep.

Too bad for NBC its "reporting" was live so they couldn't just clip the two guys out of the "flood report."

At Betsy's Page she has a link to the video tape of it all. As Betsy says, "too funny."

If anyone knows those guys tell them thanks from those of us who want a more honest MSM.

Does MSM have a double standard? You bet.

Trackback to Mudville Gazette with thanks.

Where's the outrage with the "Today" show (and the totally unbiased katie couric) with their staged boating incident in NJ (where the reporter was in a boat paddling around when 2 guys walked in front of her). shoddy journalism..

and while i'm ranting, CNN and the charlotte (NC) observer cannot get enough of this "Million more" march that seems to have more former criminals and racists organizing it. Truly, where is the outrage?

Thank you for commenting.

What you say is true.

I hope day-by-day with people like you speaking up, we will preserve all that's great about America.

I'm so glad you commented. You're helping to make a difference.
