Idiots at Fox & CNN run unverified video story, in affect, smearing the Marines
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008It’s incredible to me that not one, but two or more national news agencies were unprofessional & incompetent enough to run this smear story against the United States Marines.
The video (which was promptly removed from the You Tube website after this story was posted on Foxnews.com) alleges that the puppy in the video is thrown off of a cliff by a Marine.
After the sensation of the Michael Vic story, I would think that these so called “journalists” would be intelligent enough to see through this “Berkeley City Productions” style stunt to further slander the Marine core, but apparently the Journalism gene pool’s tainted history is really beginning to catch up with us as a Nation. Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder, & genetics may play a role, after all.
Before the video has even been confirmed, media idiots are already stopping people the street to interview them, in an obvious effort to fan the flames of this completely unconfirmed story. Note that in news reports, they go to people in the animal humane society, & stop dog owners on the street to tell them about the story, then ask their opinions in absence of giving them all the fact. Why? Because they don’t have them to give!
To me, at this stage of the so called “story”, what I see is an unconscionable media frenzy over what could amount to a lot of ratings $$$ if they can drum this up into another Michael Vic saga.
The media in our country is completely out of control, & needs to be held accountable for slandering & assaulting the very people who protect their right to operate without any threat of violence.
Free Speech does not cover the act of slander, & by airing an unconfirmed story like this, they known exactly what they are doing. Sure they can say that they mentioned that it’s “unconfirmed”, but they know that most people only hear that a puppy was thrown over a cliff.
Even if that turns out to be true, I will stand by the fact that airing this story the way they did was wrong, because as usual, they did it in absence of all the facts. Some agencies even cut out the part where the puppy was thrown, to save us all from any “trauma”. Hmm, allegations with the evidence removed? Show me the evidence, I don’t need your censorship!
Interesting approach to reporting too, since they will often show people being shot in the head or the like on video, & just post a warning before hand. When will the sheeple stop listening to these news outlets who have lost their soul?
Will we ever have sanity in our media again? If there’s any hope, it’s time to run the liberal swine out of the business. They are liars, deceivers, & they have no conscience.
Michelle Malkin has posted some of the already over the top violent diatribes attributed to Liberal crackpots, against the supposed soldiers in the video. The evidence isn’t even in on whether it was a stuffed animal or not, & they are calling for bloodshed & beheadings Danish Cartoon style.. It will be interesting to find out why the video was removed from You-Tube for a “Terms of Use Violation.” My guess is that we’re seeing a big hoax, & that there will be no apology later from Faux News..
