London Terror Plot Foiled: MSNBC Ignores It
Mediabistro ^ | 6/29/07

Posted on 06/29/2007 4:40:34 PM PDT by LdSentinal

While CNN and Fox News Channel were in breaking news mode early this morning, broadcasting continuous live coverage of the London bomb scare, MSNBC was acting like nothing had happened.

MSNBC's First Look, live at 5am and repeated at 5:30am, barely made mention of the developing story. The top story was yesterday's immigration defeat in Congress.

Anchor Joel Connable was finally forced to mention the terror plot once, when tossing to CNBC Europe for a market update. "The discovery of what police in London are calling an explosive device is having a big effect on the markets there," he said.

But viewers wanting to know more about the "discovery" had to turn to CNN or FNC...

> Update: 5:21pm: "ABC's 4:30am show America This Morning had Jim Scuitto live on the phone, standing in front of the car, while NBC's Early Today only did a 15 second vo, 15 minutes into their broadcast," an e-mailer adds...

I love Coulters latest column, the Breck girl getting his wife to call up and tell Ann To stop writing about him, so what does Ann do? Write about the Breck girl! LOL!

Is that unreal or what? This is a man who is running for the worlds highest office, and he has his wife confront Ann Coulter like a 12 year old running to his Mommy. Most MEN would confront Ann themselves, debate, but nooooo...The Breck Girl has his female counterpart do the talking for him while he hides.

Did you ever see the video for this? Where Ann says right to his wife “Your husband steals money from Doctors”? LOL!!

i havent seen the video yet... but how about when EE was trash talking about her neighbor... this is a potential first lady (actually zero potential) and she’s trashing the people who live near her... and she has the gall to say AC is debasing the debate.. puh lease.

Really the crux of the matter is that Ann was using humor to point out the hypocrisy of the Edwards clan.

And she actually references a Democrat’s book, Bob Shrum to make the case. Now why didn’t Hissy Matthews make a reference to that with Mrs. Silky Pony on the phone.

He’s a real piece of work that Matthews.

It`s pathetic the worms the Demo-rats pull out of the muck to run for POTUS.

This is all rhetorical:

What part of this doesn’t the MSM understand? A CAR BOMB with a gasoline fuse, most likely fertilizer and nails-a-plenty detonates in Picadilly Circus?

Why not set one up in Times Square? (As comparison.) Think the MSM would cover that? Yeesh!

How about the van that blew up in Oklahoma City? Gee, that was a real knee-slapper, and should’ve been ignored as well. *ROLLEYES*

Anyone see a pattern here?

It’s time to declare an all out Crusade against Islam.
It’s them or us. I say us.
I’m tired of the PC BS.

I question the timing. Harry Reid just hands George Bush his head on the immigration deal. Pelosi and Murtha are bringing up deadlines, withdrawals and redeployment from Iraq. And what does Bush do, he cooks up a terror attack in London that is just. stopped. in. time.

It's all a set up so that Bush gets to continue his lost war in Iraq.
