Baltimore Reporter Out of a Job After Posting Doctored Video Clip

[Red in Blue PA]

A reporter for an NBC affiliate in Baltimore who inserted a racist remark into a video clip of FOX News' John Gibson and posted it on YouTube is no longer employed by the station, FOXNews.com has learned.

The offensive video clip was doctored so that the viewer heard Gibson using the words "bright blue scrotum" in reference to Attorney General Eric Holder, rather than to a defining characteristic of a monkey on the loose in Seattle.

The video circulated rapidly on blogs and news Web sites Thursday and was not corrected for hours.

Loony Lefties!

A pic of the perp!

Nice to see that even Lefties are subject to racial PC. The reporter deserved it because it was journalistic malfeasance.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Even more insane was when the video was corrected and an apology issued, the loony left KEPT ragging about it.

Fag.

(S)he’s purdy! ;)

Good grief - the loony lefties will try anything to set up those of us who are “RIGHT”...

[Professor_Leonide]

The reporter was indeed fired but tell that to the MSM, they’re going to run with the story anyway.

[edcoil]

What is sad it the environment that has been created that made him believe he would get away with it. What was he thinking.

[Red in Blue PA]

They have no grasp on reality and have no probelm trying to “create” it.

[pissant]

That’s kinda funny though.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Sweet revenge.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Change your name. Move to France. What a nitwit!

[ozzymandus]

Sue his ass, John!

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[SlowBoat407]

So, in trying to portray Gibson as a racist, he really outed himself as one.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

He’ll probably get hired as a commentator by MSNBC.

[freespirited]

The meme from the MSM will be that Gibson is vindictive and that this is characteristic of FOX news types.

[STARWISE]

Good!

Go, Gibson!

[cydcharisse]

I hope my e-mail to this POS via his employer played some part,
however miniscule, in his current (un)employment situation.

I generally wish well to people. Not this guy.

Eric Holder:

In reference to someone accusing someone else of calling Holder a "blue scrotum monkey".

The pretty boy goes down...and not for the first time, I would surmise...

John Gibson is an old hand at selective manipulation of the truth to create a negative perception of others, so his self centered whining of injury convinces me not.

On the same hand, John Sanders is a deserving jerk. Deserving of being fired and a future career of cleaning restrooms at the local Target store.

Both are excellent examples of MSM quality.

[Oldpuppymax]

Actually I’m surprised that NBC would fire the guy for such a paltry offense. I mean distortion, misrepresentation and outright dishonesty have been practiced at NBC news for decades!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Not this guy.

I think you misspelled that last word.

[Mannaggia l'America]

The new Hero of the Left!

[Syncro]

I wasn't blaming it on you, just thought as I saw you had posted it I would ping you.

: > )

Good find!

[skipper18]

If Gibson’s claim isnt thrown out as soon as it’s filed, FR needs to get standing to argue against Gibson’s suit.

We’re just as vulnerable to 1 person posting 1 link to doctored video. If that’s all it takes to get us sued out of existence, there’ll be links posted by the second by people sowing the seeds of this site’s destruction.

"A pic of the perp! "

Speaking of a scrotum.....

[Servant of the Cross]

Yes, all their hero’s are ‘victims’.

[Doctor Raoul]

That’s Ellen DeGeneris!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Serves him right!

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
