You just write the story in advance and file it as soon as the event occurs.

MSM are trying to create race riots of Blacks against Whites to shut down protest.
MSM doesn’t need facts for that, but they do need speed.

In other words, Douglas, with an attributed assist from James Rosen, managed to interview representatives John Lewis, Emanuel Cleaver, and Barney Frank, compose an 800-word article, and have it edited and formatted for posting within a 90-minute window.Because it was PLANNED ahead of time. The entire event was a construct of the Democrat/Media Propaganda Complex. Pelosi strutting through the "teabagger" crowd flanked by her A-A Civil Rights props was simply to give the pre-constructed LIE a framework.

yea, that’s the point. It was a pre-fab story.
I’m sure the writer was thinking “These are right-wingers so they will use the “N” word, I’ll save time and write this ahead of time so I’ll have time to go play golf”

It was said that Soviet historians could, with unerring precision, predict the ineluctable future, but could never foresee the ever changing past.

...A simple call to the Capitol Police would have killed the spitting story and a review of the video footage would have thrown the screaming of "nigger" by multiple "protestors" into such serious doubt that no responsible paper would have printed it.
The good news here is that William Douglas can now simply redeem his journalistic reputation by finding a video of the N-word being used from any of the dozens of cameras recording that scene. Alternatively, the good news here, for Douglas at least, is that he was not burdened with onerous task of working for a responsible paper, he works for the American mainstream media.

Is the James Rosen who assisted him in this article the James Rosen of Fox News?

LOL. True enough. You can save even more time by publishing the story before the event occurs.

I was just asking myself the same thing. My guess is yes.
FOX has been going the way of State Media lately.

"I can do speed reading but speed writing takes special skills."
Sometimes I wonder if an editor even runs through the internet news articles before they get posted. I usually check Yahoo news from work at lunch (I don't go to Drudge then because I don't want to end up on some list). It is not uncommon to find grammatical errors. A lot of the stories are sloppy, lazy, biased, and grammatically incorrect. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it is 'copy and paste' journalism.
