African journalist makes CNN Obama cheerleader look really, really stupid
Michelle malkin ^ | July 13, 2009 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 07/13/2009 9:24:04 AM PDT by NMEwithin

For a Monday morning snort-sntart, check out the video via Newsbusters of African journalist Nkepile Mabuse fact-checking anchor Don Lemon over the weekend. Aptly named. Lemon certainly looked like he had swallowed something sour after Mabuse rejected his obsequious suggestion that President Obama’s warm welcome was somehow “unprecedented.”

Golden moment:

Mabuse: “It’s not unprecedented. When President Bush was here, you will remember, in February, there were people who were drumming, there were dances, and President Bush joined some of them.”

first of all, please do not change the title of the article you are posting.

second, the reporter asked the question, "Is this unprecedented?"

i love michelle, but she seems to be reaching on this from what i saw.

posting police, out.

The video is great.

Watch how the CNN cheerleader suddenly “jumps” up when the African correspondent says “it’s not unprecidented.”

Replay it several times and notice how, immediately after he “jumps”, his slight smile changes to a slight frown.

I don’t think that. Did you see the guy change his posture when the reporter said what she did? Then, they took the camera off of him and just had the female reporter in the picture.

Over-reaching? REALLY?

Remember this?:

“Newsweek editor Evan Thomas brought adulation over President Obama’s Cairo speech to a whole new level on Friday, declaring on MSNBC: “I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God.”

Just for my own edification - how was the title changed? It looks exactly the same as the title of the article being referenced on Michelle's website?

18 times the speed of light?

And I thought my opinion of journalists couldn’t get any lower.

Posting Police needs to go get his/her eyes checked before writing anymore tickets. ;-)

(The title given is exactly as it's carried at the link!)

The “jump” is the tell — clearly, he was not expecting that answer. I’d like to play poker against the CNN guy — talk about telegraphing your hand.

Evidently thefactor thinks he is one of the posting police. Actually, IMO, he is a Bozo supporter, one of many that have infiltrated FR,and is trying to look like he isn't, so he jumps the poster for his "title" and then rips Michelle for "over reaching", all the time thinking he has fooled FReepers into thinking he is a fair minded conservative. Not fooling me, he is a liberal.
