News according to David Gregory

[malaise]

A white man in a diner refused to shake his hand and said 'I can't stand him'. He's a Muslim'.

Does jackass Gregory condemn the man for spreading lies?
No - that's his story to show that Obama has a problem.
How the fuck is a stupid racist's ignorant comment Obama's problem David Gregory?

Spin for your supper you hack. :puke:

They sicken my stomach.

1. They Sicken Your Stomach?

Then why do you watch.

Perhaps you would enjoy a quote by Howard Stern, "I don't care much what they think about me or my humor, so long as they listen and give me ratings."

David Gregory appreciates your concern, and thanks you for viewing his show.

2. Someone has to watch what they're saying n/t

[tyne]

3. Hold on a minute....

that kind of behavior...and the pundits reporting it...will only help Obama.

[Vincardog]

4. His next story will be about how his Rev. said bad things. Cognitive Dissidence much Gregory?

[malaise]

7. Like clockwork n/t

5. Hey David Gregory drank the Kool-Aid a long time ago.

And it didn't start when he "danced" with that pig Rove.

[malaise]

6. He calls Wright's name at least once every five minutes

That's obsession.

[madmom]

8. Well actually it is part of Obama's problem, if he wants to be the next president he has

to make sure people(if not all then most)know everything truthfully about him.That's why it does no good to scream and point fingers at people because that just turns them off more.Diplomacy is what it's all about.

[coriolis]

9. But it IS a problem for Obama. How is pointing that out being a racist?

I don't understand. (I'm not necessarily defending Gregory, I didn't see it but if your report is accurate you are complaining about facts...that's not very rational.)

[malaise]

10. I can't speak for you but if I were Gregory I would not be

repeating stupidity on air. If I did, it would have been in the context of exposing the (mis-informed at best or liar at worse) man in the bar. Further if he did not want to shake Obama's hand because he was a 'Muslim' when, based on M$Ms saturation of Rev Wright, everyone knows that is not true, I'd call him for what he is - an ignorant Rethug racist.

[coriolis]

19. Okay, I am confused. What stupidity did he "repeat"?

He obviously, according to you, reported on racist behavior...why is that a bad thing?

[malaise]

20. He did not report it as racist behaviour

He used it to raise the issue that Obama will have problems with some voters.

That is the entire reason for this thread. He should have exposed the ignorant liar but he did not.

[coriolis]

22. Okay, your complaint is that he -reported- it but didn't specifically -identify- it as racist?

Maybe he thought the audience was smart enough to see it for what it was...? Apparently -you- did. :shrug:
I guess everyone else is just a bunch of dumb shits.

What did you expect him to say on a news broadcast, "See, folks, how this racist asshole behaves?"

good grief

[Mountainman]

12. The OP is saying the man refusing to shake hands is a racist.

Not Gregory

[malaise]

13. Thank you n/t

[coriolis]

16. You're right...she called him a hack. So why is he a hack for pointing out racism?

I still don't get the criticism.

[elizfeelinggreat]

15. It's only a problem

because stupid "reporters" keep repeating the lies and not correcting them.

The problem is that people are not ashamed to repeat lies because people like Gregory keep repeating them without making the liars ashamed of their ignorance/LIES.

That's a problem we ALL have to deal with. Our country has this problem.

And by reading here which pundit is spewing what lies or prolonging them, we know whose reporting to believe and whose reporting to consider crap.

[malaise]

17. 100% correct n/t

[spanone]

11. i heard that report......it was a very cheap and subtle reminder......as only the m$m can

i kept waiting for someone to call the guy an ignorant fuck, but they just moved on

[malaise]

14. Bingo!

A half decent journalist would have called that asshole.

[coriolis]

23. You want a reporter to call someone an ignorant fuck on television?

jeezus...

[malaise]

26. Who said anything about literally used the word

fuck. Ah fuck it.

[coriolis]

27. spanone did. In a post just up there

/\

[madokie]

18. Thats why I don't watch them anymore

I don't like seeing grownups stooping so low so as they can make a living, it discuss me. I never backed up for a single paycheck and I always had a good job, why can't they do that. Have a little pride there new's people.

[malaise]

21. Did you read that Tweety said his bosses are pro-war

They are scared exposed hack rats, taking heat everywhere for their lies and spin. Let's keep on exposing them.

[madokie]

28. YES, I'm with you

sorry about the screaming there :-) but yes we must keep it up if we hope to survive this coup. between you me and the rest here the fun is about to start. The bush cartel has about run their course and the only thing thats left for them now is to make it official and thats when the shits gonna' hit the fan, Joe sixpack won't be standing for any of that.

[malaise]

30. Check out the torture hearing's threads

That will be across the globe by now

[brentspeak]

24. Gregory is just pointing out the obvious

There's a lot of ignorant people who are buying into RW talking points regarding Obama. How much it will affect Obama in the GE, no one can say.

[malaise]

25. Gregory didn't do a damn thing to point out that

the man was spewing Rethug lies. On the contrary he went on to suggest that Obama had a problem because of these lies. Journalists call lies lies.

[coriolis]

29. Find some video of it. We don't really have any way to know what you are complaining about.

...

[SalviaBlue]

31. If someone said Obama drinks baby's blood

and the idea caught on and the talking heads talked about every day and interviewed people saying they just couldn't vote for someone who drinks baby's blood, would this be acceptable news to you? Do you think that maybe a responsible reporter would point out that this is a silly rumor?

just ask'n

[coriolis]

32. Maybe a responsible reporter would realize that only ignorant fuckwits would believe it

and let people decide for themselves? Gee, what a radical idea. But you know what?...the average voter probably is way too fucking stupid to figure that out.
