MSNBC Splices Explosions into Mitt Romney Bus Tour Video: Over the Top?

MSNBC spliced footage of buses exploding into real footage of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's bus tour. The host, Martin Bashir, obviously doesn't support Mitt Romney's campaign, but did Bashir go too far by adding the explosions? President Obama urged the media to tone down the violent rhetoric after the 2011 attack against Representative Gabby Giffords in Tucson, Arizona. Some in the media haven't paid attention.

    Now, let's examine this closely, Fef.
    If that "other" news network had done this to a democratic candidate; MSNBC and I'm sure, Mr. Bashir himself, would be screaming from the rooftops that they were advocating, inciting, and PRAYING for violence against said candidate.

    But since THEY did it, and the candidate happens to be a republican, "Ahh who gives a damn." Right?

    When they bowed to pressure from Sharpton and Jackson and booted Imus from the air, I quit watching msnbc. The dems must be running scared to resort to these kind of tactics.

    When the facts don't support your chosen candidate, just create chaos for the opponent.

    It has already been proven that MSNBC will edit there footage of the news so they can put out the B*LL S*IT they want. Look at the Trevor Martin new tape that msnbc aired. Why would anyone with a brain trust a lying snooze station for the real story?

    But then it's always more important for conservatives to watch what they say than liberals. Liberals can anything, do anything and think anything with impunity.

    I am beginning to really dislike politics. The same folks who declared Sarah Palin's kids off limits dissed Chelsea Clinton when she was only 12. As far as I'm concerned, the kids should ALWAYS be off limits.

    Along with that violence whether real or implied should ALSO BE OFF LIMITS! If you don't have something positive to say about your candidate and can only say negative about their opponent, maybe you should reexamine who and what you think you are FOR! I really, really dislike negative campaign ads. One time I switched the person I might have voted for because his opponent said nothing bad about the incumbent. He said positive things, but said what he felt he could do better.

    I can't get the video to come up, but assuming that explosions were splicedin just proves that certain factions of the media willt resort to any kind of distortion. To forwardTHEIR agenda. It has become clear to everyone that some ideologists continued to enjoy being used as tools. It has also become clear that the LIBERAL media enjoys the phony reporting more than the other spectrums of philosophy. The ideologists need to swake up and stop supporting either of two specific parties

    Another example of the wonderful world of fair and balanced journalism from the Left.
    They pride themselves on being professional and their standing on the moral high ground as opposed to Fox.

    I highly doubt anyone will be harmed as a result of their editing. lol

    Considering that this is coming from the same network that threw a tantrum over targets on a poster - it does seem wildly hypocritical. But I'm more reasonable than they were. I say... meh.
  • pamela Tinka123 2012/06/16 20:38:15

    That's not the point. It's the simple idea, that they would report any harm to come to the republican presidential candidate, in any way shape or form. If it was FOX doing this to any of this to a democratic politician, you can be sure that Obama would have the Secret Service all over it.
  • Tinka123 pamela 2012/06/16 20:40:29
    Tinka123
    Yes, it is the point. Everyone has a right to their own expression. This did not advocate harm to a Romney, it was satire. I very clearly addressed the hypocrisy.
  • pamela Tinka123 2012/06/16 21:37:38
    pamela
    Yes it does advocate harm to the Romney, and all it takes is one bad apple to use this point to stalk the republican candidate. Think about what happened to Gabby Gifford, and the psycho who thought he could take her down. No hypocrisy to it.
  • Tinka123 pamela 2012/06/16 21:43:51 (edited)

    Nonsense. If someone is going to do harm to an individual, it will be because they chose to do so, not because of a tv news anchor. Laughner was not seduced by the media into harming Gabby Giffords, he was a psycho.

    Stop excusing the bad actions of individuals by reassigning guilt for their bad behavior to people that have no relation to them whatsoever. It's just silly.

    Definitely went too far. What's this mean, that this guy hates Romney so bad, that he would likely blow up the bus with him in it? Whatever happened to bodyguards and/or secret service while these 2, Obama and Romney hash it out for the Presidency. This guy need a social call to his home by the government / secret service agents to make him control what he writes. All it takes is one out of control loser, to take this seriously and put a bullet through Romney's head like the psycho did the Gabby Giffords. That is not necessary. MSNBC is in Obama's left hip pocket, and when it comes to the extreme left leaning media, they will do and say anything and do not get reprimanded for it. He should lose his job, just like most Americans are right now.

    But does that in any one compare with a more important consideration?

    Mitt Romney wears Magic Underwear, which he believes will protect him from evil.

    magic underwear mitt romney wear magic underwear believes protect evil

    Can you imagine how Putin and other world leaders will laugh and laugh and jeer when Mitt Romney takes the podium with his magic underwear underneath his expensive tailored suit? . . . like a superhero costume?

    Putin and other world leaders will laugh their A$$es off at Saint Mitt the Moron.

    If Mitt Romney becomes President, he and his magic underwear will make the USA the laughing stock of the world.

    If Romney does win the election, I think he should just go over the top with his magic underwear obsession. World leaders are going to be laughing at him anyway.

    He should paint a big M on the chest of his Magic Underwear and don a cape.

    He could call himself Super Mitt, the protector of the free world, and then he could go prancing around the White House with his finger on the Nuclear button.

    Then he will get some respect by Gawd.

    He sure backed off , when Zimmerman went to court. George looked very latino, and the last thing Obie wants is a Latino/Black war. remember it is whiteys that are evil. MSM tried with the "White Latino " thing, but that failed. Obied tired again today with his dream act thing.

    like Brawley, like Duke U. when Sharpy and JackAsson show up, things with screw up, and obie stepped in it with his "My son would look like Trayvon"

    It looks like a massive suggestion to implant a bomb to me. In a free country this is still not free speech - this is inciting a crime.

    WAY over the top. Hopefully 9 out of the 10 viewers that MSNBC has missed it.
