ABC NEWS FAIL: Memory-Holes First Lady Gun Gaffe

First Lady Michelle Obama was caught making shit up in her interview on Good Morning America. But, the liberals in the back deck tried to memory hole the mistake. Once again protecting the Obama administration from their public mistakes. Trouble was they did not cover their tracks entirely:

"As Charlie Spierling of the Examiner reports, in the ABC News write up and transcript of the interview, while pushing for gun control, the First Lady claims Hadiya was "caught in the line of fire because some kids had some automatic weapons they didn't need[.]" - More here

Maybe FLOTUS should just stick to growing vegetables and dancing on comedy TV shows like Jimmy Fallons.   Speaking of Liberal dancing:

JOE SCARBORURGH JUST DOES NOT GET IT!

On Monday Joe Scarborough addressed the controversy about the doctored video clip MSNBC ran last week. He says he even showed the clip that they ran. I don't think so! You can see the original clip that MSNBC ran last week here.
The clip Scarborough showed on Monday did not have the text insert with the word "Ryan" on the screen and that little audio edit glitch that MSNBC ran last week. It is not the same clip at all. You can see the clip that  Scarborough says is what they ran last week here:

Looks like another cover up at MSNBC. What Scarborough and the other dinosaurs still on cable don't realize that it's not a "conspiracy theory" by "cheetos eating" bloggers living in their mom's basement. It's  ordinary people fact checking the mainstream media's ass and MSM does not like it. If Scarborough wants to denigrate bloggers and their influence he should have a talk with Dan Rather.

NBC HAS ANOTHER EDITGATE MOMENT TO EXPLAIN

Just another example of why people no longer trust the dying mainstream liberal media in the U.S. The latest outrage once again comes from NBC which should have learned from it's past mistakes or was it a deliberate bias?  This latest editing outrage seems to be a deliberate attempt by people at MSNBC to distort the facts and harm the Romney campaign. From the clip it appears that Mika Brezinski seems to have had a hand in this duplicity as she is the one who pushed the clip to be played. Then she tries to stifle her laugh afterward. Did she know she was putting one over on clueless Joe Scarbourgh? What was her influence behind the scenes inquiring minds want to know? Here is the doctored edited clip as shown on MSNBC and following that the facts as to what really happened at the event:


Some people need to be fired over this deliberate falsification of the facts. Maybe they should start with Mika Brezenski and the producers and the editors who pushed this distortion on the air! Then go after MSNBC exec Phil Griffen who seems to tolerate the distortion and lies.

BLOG UPDATE:
Even the liberal leaning New York Times reports what actually took place at the Dayton Romney/Ryan rally:

"After Mr. Ryan whooped up the crowd in Vandalia on Tuesday, Mr. Romney moved to the front of the stage. As the crowd began chanting “Romney! Romney!” he cut them off. “Wait a second,” Mr. Romney said, instructing the audience to cheer for 'Romney-Ryan! Romney-Ryan!' They did," the Times reported.- Examiner

It's pretty clear heads need to roll at MSNBC if NBC NEWS wants to salvage any credibility that remains that they really are still a "news" organization and not a part of the Obama campaign's propaganda tactics.

JON STEWART DISCOVERS NBC'S EDITGATE BUT, ENDS UP PANDERING TOO!

Jon Stewart on the Daily Show FINALLY acknowledges the NBC NEWS Editgate scandal. Eric Wemple the Washington Post's media blogger has the video.  But, unfortunately Jon Stewart can't just address the NBC editing outrage on it's own without  first making fun of Republicans and finishing up with shots at the Fox Newschannel (who actually broke the story). It seems Stewart can't even do one spot without somehow completely pandering to his Liberal audience.


Larry O'Conner has more on the lamestream media bias on this story.

EDITGATE: NBC NEWS AND THE HYPOCRISY OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA


Well NBC NEWS is behaving like a bad politician by trying to keep the cover over it's Editgate investigation. News reports have surfaced that it had fired the "seasoned" producer who cut the piece. But, of course has not identified the person involved. Would NBC accept that stonewalling from a government official they were investigating? I think not! They also released this information on Friday night. Which is the normal way the Federal Government releases bad news because they think no one is watching.  They sometimes get away with it but, with today's New Media bloggers and citizen journalist sniffing around not so much.

At least Reuters is one news organization has been giving this journalistic outrage some coverage. Even if some so called media reporters like Howard Kurtz are giving it short shrift.

"Under growing public pressure to explain the incident, NBC News President Steve Capus provided Reuters with the fullest explanation to date of how the edited call made it on air and what the network is doing to prevent such a consequential error from happening again.

 "Two sources at the network told Reuters the Miami-based producer of the segment had been fired on Thursday.Capus said "several people" involved were disciplined, though he declined to specify the nature of the disciplinary actions, saying they were internal personnel matters. Sources at the network told Reuters on Thursday that NBC News executives did not know the emergency call was misleadingly edited until news reports surfaced days later on blogs including newsbusters.org and Breitbart.com."

Good thing there are people in the New Media to "fact check their ass" and let these clueless executives know what is going on in their companies. But, Capus still seems clueless to the hypocrisy that has engulfed NBC NEWS and it's leftist leaning MSNBC operation.  Especially when they hired activists like Al Sharpton as hosts with their own shows.  Here is exhibit A:

"Internally, some NBC news staffers have complained that Sharpton's unique role in the case has compounded the damage to NBC News' reputation that the edited tape caused, and contributed to an impression among its critics that the network as a whole is biased against Zimmerman, according to sources. Capus refuted that claim.
"Reverend Sharpton is a talk show host on MSNBC," Capus said. "We believe there's a distinction between the role he plays and our front line journalists who are part of NBC's news gathering and reporting. This is a large news organization that has many people involved in any number of different aspects of coverage and commentary. That's the distinction we've made as a news organization."
 
It seems Capus really does not know totally whats going on at his organization. If he is just dismissing the hiring of activists like Al Sharpton as merely a "talk show host" and distinct from the "front line journalists" who are part of NBC's news gathering and reporting. What does that make Andrea Mitchell who has a daytime show on MSNBC and is frequently reporting on NBC Nightly News. Hypocrisy seems to be part of the problem at NBC News.
