Ok, now, look at the image below FROM msnbc.com that was taken on 8/26/2009 ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32492783/ns/us_news-life/)
Do you see the problem? MSNBC in the VIDEO cropped the shot so much you couldn’t see if the gun carrying person was white or black and from the commentary they made it sound like it was a white racist as the lady said “this may have a racial overtone and you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns” and turned the entire conversation into how this was about racism. And the black guy on the news is talking about how there is “anger over a black man being president” and then goes on to say how people are angry “we see these hate groups rising up and this is definitely part of that” and yada yada yada. Such a load of crap in this story.
What they don’t tell you is that the gun carrying person with the handgun strapped to his side is actually a black man… In fact to save themselves you can see in the image the same shot taken from their website, only not cropped. How the hell can a news organization crop footage and spin the story to say that this guy is a white radical who is a racist, carrying a gun near obama and then say that they expect someone will try to harm the president because he is black.
I am DEEPLY disappointed in MSNBC. I used to visit MSNBC all the time but with this type of faux reporting and making up the news to push the agenda in the direction they want it to go I can’t trust them anymore. And Fox News isn’t any better but this is just outright wrong and is enough for me to say I won’t be watching anymore news from MSNBC, and in fact the entire MSN universe is pretty much irrelevant at this point when it comes to news. And since MSN is owned by Microsoft,……. Well lets just say I’ll stick with Apple for my computers, The consumerist, Daily show and Colbert Report for my TV news and Armstrong and Getty Radio/podcast for my daytime news.
As if there weren’t enough problems in this country we don’t need news organizations creating false stories and lying to the nation. I think everyone in this story should be fired and a huge apology be made for their inaccurate reporting. And I don’t want that to be because they are forced into it by some upper management. No, I want them to lose their job because of the fact viewers are no longer watching their news channel and their ratings are plummeting. This is how the free market works. If we want the government to lead us they can fine them or whatever, but if we want our country to be as strong as it can be we have to let the people speak and utilize the free market model. Rewards the companies that do good, and stop doing business with those that are frauds. Do this and they will shut down.

Also, Apple Safari (my favorite) loads pages much faster then internet explorer. There is a lot less complexity in the browser so it doesn’t have to do so much on every internet site. It is far superior then Microsofts Internet Explorer. Try it, you will love it.
