Dobbs falsely identified convicted former Republican Rep. Janklow as a Democrat
Summary: On CNN, Lou Dobbs asserted that "ormer Congressman Bill Janklow, a Democrat from South Dakota, was convicted of striking and killing a motorcyclist with his car in 2003. He was sentenced to 100 days in prison." In fact, Janklow was a Republican member of the House of Representatives

1. Jon Stewart: "You know, CNN may not be the most trusted name in news"

Me: CNN, the most busted name in news.

2. Turn about is fair play as long as the media source falsely identifies corrupt/

charged/imprisoned Dems as 'pukes as often as they mislabel corrupt 'pukes as Dems: come to think of it, I bet the media never or rarely mistakenly label a corrupt Dem as a 'puke. :P

3. i bet it never happens

because it isn't a mistake when it does. they can go back and correct it but they know a significant number of people will have gotten the message that democrats are corrupt slimeballs when people who actually pay attention to what goes on know that it's the republicans who stink to high heaven.

5. not a fair comparison. there simply AREN'T as many corrupt democrats as republicans

it's just that they've had so many OPPORTUNITIES to make a mistake in this direction.

how many democrats have been indicted lately?

:shrug:

7. It is not a fair comparison and I would bet big buck that each and every mislabeling is by malicious

intent. Put out the subliminal message, put it out often, like the one playing now that: ((that uppity (n-word) likes young white women)) and countless millions who are or lean toward being a racist redneck begin frothing at the mouth. These disgusting purveyors are both evil and dangerous. :P
