@ CNN Magic bullets and disappearing video

Rate: 0 Flag
I watched CNN John King USA yesterday.  I swear I honestly think that Fox does a better job of presenting both sides.  What was most alarming was Dana Bash.  In the midst of all this talk about how the Republicans are not inciting this violence, Dana Bash has footage of Steve King (Iowa) on the Speakers Balcony.  He has a picture of Nancy Pelosi which her alternatively slaps and makes slashing motions across her throat.  Later in the video, Dana tries to interview King.  He denies doing it, she claims to have film and he runs away.  Really, runs away.

I watched the show particularly to see a repeat of the interview.  It never showed.  Instead there was such a total distortion of the facts.  Democrats were alleging threats for fundraising purposes (no mention of fundraising letters form the you lie and baby killer congressmen) Just the proclamation that this is all Democratic stunt to get money.
 
Did you see Nancy Pelosi's face?  She was thunderstruck.  Like a woman whose children were threatened.  This was no Democratic gimmick.  The Bash-Kings managed to make Eric Cantors (air shot) single bullet story more threatening than the severed propane line that spewed gas into the backyard of a home where Rep. Tom Perriello's brother lived with his five kids.
 
They interviewed the Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' press secretary about the vandalism on her
Tucson office.  The man was tongue tied.  The only possible reason for the interview was that the press secretary was obviously gay. 
 

Today I watched Candy Crowley.  She played the Eric Cantor speech where he cries that he has been victimized by those damn Jew hating Liberals shooting up his office.  Yet there is never a mention that days ago that theory was exposed as sympathy hype.  There was no bullet shot in Cantors’ office.  Richmond police reported on it last week.  Another CNN regular makes the death threats against the Democrats seem like campaign gimmicks.  They never mention the severed propane line that spewed gas into the backyard of a home where Rep. Tom Perriello's brother lived with his five kids.  Not a mention.

 

And what concerns me most is the missing tape from Dana Bash chasing Rep Steve King (Iowa).  It was shown once on CNN and never again.  The story is pushed that the Democrats must be "faking" these threats.  Everyone has a copy of a Democratic fundraising letter. None of them seem to have the letters that went out for Joe Wilson's "you lie" comment or the quick turnaround the next day with "baby Killer” letters. 

 

More and more often, CNN is not a news network but a CORPORATE NETWORK.
