NBC apologizes to obama for osama mistake
Posted by Media Outrage on February 21, 2008
NBC News reprimanded an employee for “mistakenly” flashing an image of Osama Bin Laden behind anchorman Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball during a segment about Senator Barack Obama. Obama’s camp immediately called in and complained and Chris Matthews apologized for the supposed “mistake” on air.
This is B.S. that crap was intentional. We are talking about professionals who line up stories for national viewers, so we doubt that there would be a mistake of that proportion and significance especially given the past accusations. Can you imagine what would happen if they were running a segment on Hillary Clinton and they accidentally flashed a pic of Amy Winehouse??? And yes we realize that the names are not at all similar but that’s not the point name and face Obama and Osama look nothing alike. Another cheap shot to try and undermine Barack Obama’s campaign. Whoever flashed the picture should be fired.

What kind of news outlet does this? « Media Outrage said
[...] FoxNews has definitely stepped, hop skipped, and pole vaulted over the line with this one. Check the caption at the bottom of the screen that reads “Stop Picking ON OBAMA’S BABY MAMA!” What can be said about a supposed credible news outlet that continues to show flagrant disrespect to a Presidential candidate and his family? This media outlet has already showed time and time again that when it comes to journalistic integrity, they are completely devoid of it. We wonder why other mainstream news outlets are not calling them on their racist nonsense. To see all the many times recently that FoxNews has stepped out of pocket click here, and here, and to see one of the most blatantly foul ones click here. [...]

This is just too too sad. They know he is gonna be president and they are so scared they gotta do simple cheap shit like that. It wasnt a mistake, it was a well orchestrated dry ass attempt to play mind association games.
