NBC News edits stomping video - doesnt show the stomp

[pimpbot]

What a disgusting piece of work Chuck Todd is. He has some silly iPad app where he keeps showing how the democrats "need" to lose 30 seats to lose control of the house. Then they played the stomp video, except it was edited so it looked like it was more of a fight between the move on lady and the teabaggers, they never showed the foot on the head.

6. I'm done with the nightly news

I'm through with the nightly news. I just spent a couple weeks overseas and the international BBC channel and even CNN international had more in depth NEWS stories than you ever get in the US anymore. The nightly news seemed like the last hold out to the 30 second sound bite / push an agenda media crapper.

Shep Smith is on the right side.

Two guys put down the young woman. Then the big guy stomped her. My MD says if he had stomped her spine 2 inches over she would have been paralised!

7. what is with the ipad everywhere. on the local news they have a whole segment

where they have them holding an ipad talking about something and we can't even see the damned thing. as for editing the clip.... i am sure they used the guise of it being too graphic to show it as an excuse. this is ridiculous and scary. i was watching the rachel maddow special on the assassination of tiller and they said it right.... the media and the rw are getting people all whipped up and then step back and take no responsibility for what happens. what, we didn't expect this to happen. it's like cocking a gun and pulling the trigger and then saying that it wasn't you it was the gun.
