Freedom of the press; it's guaranteed in our Constitution. There's a very clear and highly important reason this is in our legal system; it was supposed to be the watchdog of all branches of government, in particular, the executive branch. But today, the press has changed its role by becoming not the watchdog, but a guard dog for the left. And it isn't only what they report, it also has to do with what they don't. It also has to do with the difference in how they deal with both sides of the aisle.
If you only watched MSNBC during the Benghazi attack and its aftermath, you might believe the entire situation was caused by a video that was seen by no less than 300 people worldwide. Next, you would have been convinced that the man who made the video had no right to do so--there is no such thing as negative opinion, or freedom of expression when it goes against Islam. Make fun of Muhammed, a guy who "married" a six year old, and you will be killed.
Now the New York Times is claiming, once again, that the attack was not perpetrated by al Qaeda--it was the video. Facts don't matter and, for the left, things that are not facts become facts when repeated over and over.
Trayvon Martin, a nice kid who looked to be about 12 years old in most leftist media, was brutally murdered by a white Hispanic, George Zimmerman. To my knowledge, this was the first time the term "white Hispanic" was ever used by the media. But it fit the message that blacks are the victims where whites are the perpetrators of injustice, knockout game aside.
Recently, on MSNBC, Melissa Harris-Perry, a host of one of their anemic programs (I use the terms 'host' and 'programs' loosely) showed a Christmas card photo of Mitt Romney and family. On Mitt's lap sat Kieran Romney, his adopted grandson, a black child. Harris-Perry introduced the photo by saying, "A lot of people had emotions about this baby picture this year." This was followed by a guest, Pia Glenn singing the Sesame Street song, "one of these things is not like the others." Harris-Perry and the other guests laughed.
Harris-Perry then joked that she would like to see Kieran and North West, the daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, get married in 2040. "Can you imagine Mitt Romney and Kanye West as in-laws?" she quipped.
Well this started tittering from the panel and Dean Obeidallah, someone who refers to himself as a comedian, jumped in with, "I think this picture is great. It really sums up the diversity of the Republican Party, the RNC. At the convention, they find one black person."
Now, almost 2 days later, Harris-Perry apologized on Twitter claiming she meant "no offense," by her remarks, which I found to be racially insensitive, stupid, and undignified. She tweeted this morning, "I work by guiding principle that those who offend do not have the right to tell those they hurt that they r wrong for hurting," and "Therefore, while I meant no offense, I want to immediately apologize to the Romney family for hurting them."
Harris-Perry wasn't drunk or doing drugs when she said what she did and the other liberal idiots jumped in. She knew what she was saying and she, in fact, did mean to offend and make fun of the Republican, Romney. Her apology is like Martin Bashir's--it was meant to undo damage to the network and to their jobs. It didn't slip out by accident and the network didn't offer any apology or explanation thus far.
Obeidallah, on the other hand, is obviously too stupid to know when to shut up. In a blog he posted he half apologized to the Romney family but added, "but not to the wingnuts." Then he added, "As the attacks on my joke were building, I kept waiting for Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal to defend me like they recently stood up for Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson. I thought at least Jindal would call out the 'politically correct crowd' as he did for good ol' Phil, but still not a peep from them about my freedom of expression."
Yes, Obeidallah has the right to say racially insensitive and stupid things, but he does not have the right to label himself as a 'comedian,' that's fraudulent. And we have the right to call him a stupid, smug, insensitive racist, and boycott whatever sponsorship he gets (probably Viagra and Preparation H). Perhaps it's time we conservatives, we 'wingnuts,' actually did something about these disgusting liberals. (By the way, I'd rather be a 'wingnut' than a no nut liberal any day.) Our support for Robertson worked and scared A&E into taking him back; maybe boycotting or writing to companies sponsoring this tripe would send a message. You make the call.
The attack on MSNBC was directed on Mitt Romney, his family and the GOP. The attack, or statement by Phil Robertson was his interpretation of what the Bible says regarding homosexuality--it was not directed on anyone's family. He wasn't attacking any individual but a way of life. And vagina isn't a bad word, unless you're a conservative and have never seen The Vagina Monologues.
