Blackmoor Vituperative

Wow. This is the most blatant yellow journalism that I personally have ever seen. “There are questions about whether there are racial overtones… white people showing up with guns…” while (apparently) deliberately editing the video to hide the fact that the fellow with the rifle (and it’s just a rifle, there’s nothing special about it) was black.

I have to wonder if the people talking on screen even knew. Certainly the producer of the show did — that’s their job.

This is not Rush Limbaugh or Chris Matthews or some other “shock jock”… this is the “real” news, at least in theory. I know that what we see on TV is edited, and to some degree even the news is fabricated for ratings… but come on. This is way beyond the pale. Or at least, I hope it is. Maybe I am just naive.
