The elite media and scores of journalists on the left are outraged today because a group of pro-gun rights activists allegedly “heckled” Neil Heslin, the father of six-year-old Jesse Lewis -- one of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre -- during a Connecticut hearing on gun violence on Tuesday. Here’s the MSNBC clip making the rounds on Twitter:
But wait. As Twitchy points out, the original video has obviously been altered and tampered with (fast forward to the 15:05 mark):
It’s abundantly clear that someone at MSNBC doctored the original video in order to (a) push their radical, left-wing agenda and (b) to portray gun owners as evil and heartless nut jobs. But the truth is that it was only after Mr. Heslin asked out loud why anyone would want to own an “assault-style weapon” that the activists spoke up in the first place. This is a far cry from “heckling”; Mr. Heslin actually sought their opinion. If anything, this proves once again that the MSM is misleading the public and maligning those with whom they disagree for political purposes. How sad.
Not only are we losing our 2nd Amendment rights, but also our 1st Amendment rights to question restrictions thereof.

Is this technically what would be classified as agitprop?
Remember the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman 911 tape?
What is that quote? Some thing like freedom of the press is only free if you own the press.
It appears people in attendance were seeking permission to answer the father’s question. It was not at all as reported by CBS News, or any other outlet, heckling. These “reporters” should all be ashamed.
True, but among thinking people there is such a thing as credibility.......
Tell that to the non thinkers ho got Odumby elected again with the use of the press.
LOL!
MSNBC has a bias for the African communist scumbag and his party?
No. I don’t believe it.
What is so scary is the non-thinkers are influenced by media bias. This is not a good combination.
Goebbels wouldn’t just be proud, he’d retire because his work would be done.
Journolists (spelling intentional) have the capacity to feel shame? I doubt it. If/when they see their fondest dreams come true, they’ll wonder why they are some of the first put up against the wall by the powers they supported. Yes, they really are that stupid.
Anyone who controls the “language” can shape thinking. The German philosophers knew that in the 1800’s. Mass indoctrination started with Lenin and swept into China and Germany and England and then America....with all the Cultural Marxists who swept and infiltrated our county in the 30’s.
They took over the press and Hollywood and our universities in the early 1900’s. John Dewey controlled curricula in the elementary schools by the 30’s. He was a Fabian Socialist.
They put words together that are nonsensical-—like “homosexual” marriage and after a few decades of teaching little children Pride in sodomy in the indoctrination centers and made them celebrate gay “Pride” days-—then, Voila! Evil becomes normal and Good and a Right because little kids believe what adults tell them. It becomes their worldview esp. when they demonize and ridicule people of faith-—and call them bigots and “haters”.
The thing that bugs me when people bring up Goebbels in comparison to the modern media is that I know for a fact they are too gutless to ever die in a bunker with their “Fuhrer” ... plus, we never seem to get that lucky anymore ...
The infuriating thing about this is that this “fact” will live on in DUmmie Land forever. They’ll be using this “fact” to “win” arguments for the next 40 years. They always jump on the lie, but never the correction.
“Remember the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman 911 tape?”
Remember the “spontaneous” underwear bomber terrorist attack that was planned for the airliner after that video stirred up civil unrest resulting in the attacks on whites?
Truly is amazing how Trayvon Martin dropped off the MSM radar after that attacker turned out to be an undercover agent.
British wasn’t he?
Lucky he wasn’t killed since the Obama adm. leaked the info about the agent before he got out.
