Just when you think they can't sink any lower . .
MSNBC edits Arizona OC video to conceal the ethnicity of the AR-toting African American, in order to contrive a racist spin. Most impressive is the straight face with which they narrate this lie.

Hmmm... despicable.
But not L&CR related IMO. Definitely more "gun news" with a slant towards politics of the media. |

Wow, really, just wow. They really played the race card on this one when it never existed in the context of what actually happened regarding open carry and protest.
I don't usually buy the "liberal media bias" crap, but this is seems to be a case of it.

It's related because lies, and false accusations of racism against gun owners by a major media outlet can negatively impact our civil rights. If we are unwilling to shine the light of day on such egregious media behavior, who else will? |

Wow. Watch taht video, then watch the CCN version. It's clearly the same man, with a white dress shirt and AR. The MSNBC video concealed his ethnicity, and went on about racism.
The CCN video showed the man's face, mentioned that he was African-American, and talked about guns. It was still an anti-gun slant, but Racism never entered the discussion. |

The "Race Card" has been brought up in the other thread, thereby making this one a duplicate.
Closed. (Talk about it over there -->) |
