NBC refuses to air GOP convention speeches by minorities
 
OK, this is really, really pathetic...

Chuck Todd Race-Baits GOP as NBC Institutes 'Whites Only' Speech Policy

Why doesn't NBC draw in a Hitler moustache on Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney when they speak? Would that be any more insane?

What does it say about liberalsim, that instead of debating what cponservatives actually say, the media will intentionjally black out all speeches done by minorities, and then say that the GOP is a "whites-only" club?

That's what one does when one is desperate, defeated, and pathetic.

Is this even true? Did NBC actually not televise a single speech that was delivered by a minority?

Unfreakinbelievable...

What does it say about NBC that they would do this? It's beneath contempt...there have been several dazzling speeches by ethnic minorities at this year's GOP convention...Dr Rice, Artur Davis, Mia Love, Nikki Haley...

If there was any legitimate merit to liberalsim, why does the liberal media need to so falsely demonize conservatives?

The thing I found amusing is the difference in coverage of the event. Flipping between the big three CNN MSNBC and Fox god forbid any of them could listen to a speech and take it for the actual context. they all put a spin on it

Jack...exactly my feeling! As for Maddow, Matthews and Sharpton et al...I'd rather watch Honey Boo Boo or Say Yes to the Dress. Hahaha!

Spence, you denied that Michelle Obama said she wasn't proud of the US until 2008. You said it wasn't factually true that she said that. Who are you to criticize the legitimacy of what anyone else says?

Because there a black guy speaking at the convention on MSNBC right now!!!

Ibelieve the article referenced NBC News, not MSNBC.

And if MSNBC was airing one "right now", were they ignoring minority speakers until "right now" (ie, unil they got caught doing it)? If so, why?

I don't know, I'd think that Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz would be endlessly entertaining if they were doing the play by play of the Republican Convention....Jim, have enough trust in people that they can watch these things(if they even bother) and figure out who is the unhinged lunatic and who isn't...shouldn't be a surprise regarding the coverage and that's not going to change :uhuh:

I think you've been punked by some Brietbart fake news.

Perhaps you should switch to the Onion, at least it's sometimes funny.

I used to be a big Ed Schultz fan, listened everyday. Now he is like the arseklown Lawrence O'Donnell. Was never a Maddow fan.

As for watching the convention I watched mostly on CNN as I couldn't make it through 15 minutes of MSNBC. If the same people are gushing with admiration in the Democratic convention (yes, I'll watch) approaching the level of disdain for the Rep convention I will probably turn off NBC for all, local news, SNL.

Pretty sad that the Communist News Network may remain the most unbiased network

You don't think the gushing on MSNBC will be the same as it was on Fox News for the RNC?

I watched a bit on MSNBC last night and at times they were often quite complimentary.

They were very complimentary of his personal anecdotes and the so-called 'humanizing' during the first hour of Morning Joe this morning during my commute...

I'm grateful that I'm in intelligent enough to make up my own opinions and decisions on who I think would be a better leader for this country. The media is and always will be pushing their own agenda and self-interest. It’s unfortunate that most people in this country listen and are persuaded by the medias interpretation (either Left or Right). If more people thought for themselves and didn’t make decisions on regurgitated media interpretations, we might be in a better place right now. I don’t care what Tom Brokaw, Bill O'Reilly, Anderson Cooper or Rachel Maddow thought of the speeches or what their opinions are. It’s sad that their opinions influence so many folks.

I ask myself “Who would be a better Leader?” and based off of what I know and what I see, I think I know who that is…………….time for a change.
