Kind of hard to get used to the fact that you no longer have a monopoly on information. Back in the “old days” their mendacity would have never seen the light of day.
We’ll see if that holds up in court.
What?...
No deep-pockets conservatives have the technological and monetary resources to challenge the leftwing media - for example with something like Beck’s GBTV, writ bigger, larger and appealing to a broader audience?
Why are we not counter-attacking in the PR war? Are we simply victims?
Must we always decide there’s nothing to be done?
(that question above about why are we not counter-attacking in this contest, was not intentionally rhetorical)
Beck has the right idea.
Television is an Oligopoly, with liberals holding the controls.
So go around them.
Someone like a Rush Limbaugh, working with say - a Free Republic, could move PR mountains.
Technology. Money. Determination. Audience.
So why isn’t it happening yet?
What exactly is our side waiting for? Permission??
Reminds me of the old kids saying..liar liar pants on fire...edited for time? what to save 5 seconds? I call BS.Lets see the whole segment and let us decide. Then let us see who did it and other programs they produced, you know like a track record of liberalism or race baiting, sensationalism, etc...
While you are at it how about reporting black on white crime Obamas forged documents and fake background, the real unemployment numbers, unconstitutional acts, czars, etc ad infinitum..NO CREDIBILITY they are in the bag for Obie and his agenda. IMO of course.
“Just fired the unnamed producer for the hell of it.”
My thoughts exactly. If it were TRULY an innocent mistake, why would anyone be fired (vs. receiving the appropriate training so the “mistake” didn’t happen again)?
He makes an honest mistake and they fire him for it?

“We’re shocked, shocked. Round up the usual suspects.” NBC
In the spy game they call it "plausible denyability", in the newsroom it's called "business as usual".
Of course it was. You see, for a mistake, you get fired. For a deliberate act of misrepresentation, you get promoted.
If someone was fired, their ID will eventually be revealed. Even if the person happens to be black.
In fact, if the person had no pattern or record of disciplinary actions, and it's alleged this was an innocent mistake, that would be grounds for a possible wrongful termination law suit.
In fact, if there was no person fired, that too will likely eventually come out by a whistle blower, as there will be big money to be had, and could possibly damage the network severely.
There is money to be had here, regardless if this is a concocted story regarding allegedly firing someone, or if someone was fired. Big money here either way.
Other employes, disgruntled or otherwise with knowledge, could use this as blackmail against the network etc.
I’d bet the rent, more than a few at NBC know exactly what happened, and who, if anyone was involved.
Do I believe the guy ? HELL NO !!! Just from watching the coverage for the rest of the past week the bozo is lying thru his teeth.
That works two ways. If someone else offers more money, people have a tendency to break their word, and toss any hush money agreement in the trash.
But I am confident, others within NBC will eventually reveal who was involved, or if the story of firing someone, was a concocted cover. Too much money involved for people to remain quiet.
Do I believe the guy ? HELL NO !!! Just from watching the coverage for the rest of the past week the bozo is lying thru his teeth.
Well we have seen now, the top guy at NBC publicly state they know who did this.
Should be a simple matter for Zimmerman’s lawyer to find out who it is.
Just saying.
BTW, generally, when someone is fired, they are not offered money, or rewarded with hush money to keep their mouth shut. If revealed, that in itself would bring this network to it's knees, revealing it to be an evil manipulating propaganda machine.
That presumes they’ve left the company.
Perhaps it all depends on the meaning of the word “fired”, in a Bill Clinton sort of parsing.
Could be they’ve been “fired” from that position, and quietly moved laterally to keep them from becoming disgruntled, and away from a wrongful termination lawyer.
I’m guessing the latter.
In fact I’d almost bet money on it. That is, if anyone was fired at all.
He may have nothing to lose by doing so, who knows!
Wow, I can't wait for more fallout.
Cosi fan tutti, let all the tutti hit the fan....LOL.

I hope you’re right, because if no one was fired, I am confident that will be revealed, as there are too many people who would know too many details.
Again, there is big money to be made for anyone coming forward, regardless if the firing was concocted cover story, or not. Not to mention other networks, others in the industry with contacts, connections, knowledge, etc. Making your competitor/former employer look real bad is always a great motive.
Yeah. The more explanation required, the more true/believable it is.
Every parent who has listened to a teenagers long winded explanation knows that.....
