Print Dan Riehl Follow Read Full Bio Mother Jones Spanks NBC Over Zimmerman Edit When even Kevin Drum at Mother Jones has to call NBC out over their outrageous editing of George Zimmerman's 911 call to portray him as racist, you know it's bad. 1 Apr 2012 Olbermann: From Countdown to Meltdown in 60 Minutes Nobody Watched There seems to be little need to weep for Keith Olbermann; clearly he's quite capable of crying enough for everyone, whether you're a Current TV viewer or not. 1 Apr 2012 Questionable Poll Trashes Conservatives As someone who studied both psychology and journalism as an undergrad,I can attest that when the two disciplines team up, a conservative has to either be prepared to be attacked, have a real belly laugh, or both. That's not to say this item at Miller-McCune (slogan: Smart Journalism. Real Solutions, no recognition of irony) is without merit. One does have to read something, after all. 1 Apr 2012 NBC Launches Internal Investigation over Altered Zimmerman Call NBC News is said to have launched an internal investigation into why it posted an edited version of George Zimmerman's call to a 911 dispatcher made prior to a shooting incident resulting in the death of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin. The altered version made it appear as though Martin's race was an important factor that night for Zimmerman, when, in fact, he was only answering a question posed by a 911 dispatcher. 31 Mar 2012 New High Def Police Video Of Zimmerman Appears Damning Of ABC Report ABC News boldly proclaimed police surveillance video of George Zimmerman being taken into the Sanford police station the night Trayvon Martin was killed showed no blood or bruises from an alleged physical encounter Zimmerman claimed to have had with 17 year-old Trayvon Martin. 31 Mar 2012 Did NBC Air Edited Zimmerman 911 Audio To Incite? Two days ago, Big Journalism reported on a published report by MSNBC staff and NBC News which contained an irresponsibly edited quote from George Zimmerman's 911 call which misleadingly portrayed him as racist. It has now emerged that NBC actually aired an edited version of the call which matches the published report. 31 Mar 2012 Martin Case County's NAACP Chapter Distances Self from Sharpton Having already been critical of the Sanford City police department, hatemonger Al Sharpton continues to try to add fuel to the fire swirling around a tragedy that left 17-year-old Trayvon Martin dead and George Zimmerman in hiding. Meanwhile, Seminole County chapter president of the NAACP Turner Clayton spoke out to put distance between his organization and Sharpton's inflammatory rhetoric. 31 Mar 2012 Did the White House Pressure Washington Post to Change Fact Checker? On March 27, Josh Hicks of the Washington Post's Fact Checker gave White House regulation czar Cass Sunstein one "Pinocchio" for his defense of the Obama administration's regulatory record. However, the same article, a day earlier, was far more critical of the administration, giving Sunstein a total of three Pinocchios. What happened? The Post's readers deserve a clear explanation. 30 Mar 2012 Hoodie-Wearing Gunmen Kill 1, Wound 5 in Bobby Rush's Chicago District Former Black Panther Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) made quite a fuss when he donned a "hoodie" during a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives until he was escorted out. At the time, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) "applauded his courage" for doing so. Meanwhile, back home in Rush's district, two men wearing hooded sweatshirts, or "hoodies," were the shooters in an incident that left one dead and five injured. 30 Mar 2012 New Video of George Zimmerman Arrest Casts Doubt on ABC Report The claim that the ABC video proves Zimmerman and/or police lied is false, and serves only to inflame public outrage in the case. Now, new video has emerged making ABC's contention look even more doubtful. 30 Mar 2012 Previous 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Next
