"Terrorist Fist Jab"

[cpebbles]

Meh. CNN pulls the same crap against the Republicans......it's politics. It's why I avoid Foxnews, CNN and many other channels. They all push their own agenda.....I could care less.

Um, no. MSNBC is far and away the most liberal news network, and even they cannot hold a candle to Fox News when it comes to partisanship. CNN is as good as major news networks get. The most evenly balanced news coverage nationally available, and they do a better job than the other networks at separating editorializing from the journalism.

The southern baptist folks in the pews weren't suddenly afraid we were terrorists.

But thanks to "news stories" like this, those folks will now have that fear for Obama in the back of their minds.

And that's not an accident or an unintended result of the story.

I will say that I wish they hadn't done it to begin with. It felt very staged and pre-planned as an attempt to get a response, albeit a response from the youth and not from talking heads. It didn't feel natural; I can envision them backstage planning out taking the stage, waving, passing by each other and doing the fist bump.

I'm sure they will retract the statement.....once....at 4:42 AM.

I kept waiting for someone to "send it back to Jon Stewart in the studio". Something that absurd has to be parody, right?

What pisses me off is how utterly inane that segment is. Are they really "analyzing" a fist pound, an ubiquitous, well understood gesture? It is hard to imagine a bigger waste of air time.

I enjoyed the body language expert. Glad they have that entry in their Rolodex.

CNN, Fox, and MSNBC aren't bad because of political bias. Their problem is that they are low quality, sensationalizing producers of nearly contentless conventional wisdom reinforcing, chatterific non-news. Junk them all I say.

I was watching Hannity and Colmes yesterday night and they were arguing with some African American man about Spike Lee's comments about how Clint Eastwood failed to include black men in his movie "Letters from Iwo Jima". The part that stood out to me was when Hannity stops mid sentence and says "you are good friends with OJ Simpson correct?" The man responds (perplexed) "yes, I am". Hannity replies with "So...Did OJ do it?"
It was so random and I couldn't tell if it was some last ditch attempt to get to a commercial or what.

That is my opinion as well. It's not the politics that bother me it is the utter mindlessness of all three and the non-stop tool parade that is their hosts and "experts."
