Is CNN trying to do its version of tv "Photoshop"?
Their ratings are in the tank, overall the medias trust level, at an all time low, and trust me this will not help CNN or the MSM.
Mudville Gazette caught this (via Ace and a hat tip to RVO reader Laura) but watch the video below and judge for yourself. On American Morning Private Joseph Foster relates how when Major Hasan began shooting he shouted Allahu Akbar, which, has become a rally cry for Islamic Jihad Terrorists. But in their on-line print story, this is how CNN is reporting the incident.
I was sitting in about the second row back when the assailant stood up and yelled Allahu akbar in Arabic and he opened fire, Foster said Monday on CNNs American Morning.
Foster, 21, said he wasnt clear about whether the gunman said those exact words, noting that with that much adrenaline, you tend to forget things.

Pretty soon, they will be able to hold a viewers convention in a phone booth...
The erstwhile news media will censor what doesn’t fit their agenda.
I was visiting relatives last week and we watched the coverage on ABC. They never mentioned the fact that the shooter was muslim or his name. They kept talking about how combat stress drives military members to commit violence.
Pretty soon, they will be able to hold a viewers convention in a phone booth...
a phone booth may be too big a venue...maybe a cigar box?
I guess he could have been screaming 'KIT KAT BAR!'. Who knows, maybe the candy vending machine ripped him off. Vending Machine Stress Disorder (VMSD)
“They kept talking about how combat stress drives military members to commit violence.”
I never would have expected the MSM to call it terrorism, but to go on talking about PTSD ad naseum when they knew he had never been overseas, that was ridiculous. Beyond inexcusable. I’d have prefered it for them to talk about bullying and “hate crimes” all day, even though the idea that this is was just another Columbine doesn’t pass the laugh test. Because at least that’s difficult to prove or disprove. What they did, blaming it on the stress of war, was journalistically unforgivable.
ROFL!! You owe me a keyboard!
“a phone booth may be too big a venue...maybe a cigar box?”
Volunteers to “fit them in?”
Except for FOX (mostly) the major news outlets, ABCNBCCBSCNN are the enemy of truth and a fifth column.
They want to keep the focus off anything that relates back to his intent to commit murder.
Sadly this kind of thing neither shocks nor outrages me any more. It is just par for the course with CNN etal.
ENOUGH WITH THE LAUGHING! You have inadvertently solved the case!
Connect the dots .....
Geraldo said it was because he might have had a toothache -
Then he bought some candy -
The sugar hits the bad tooth -
And with the enraged cry of “KIT KAT BAR!” he’s off on the rampage.
(How much you wanna bet the final version is about as believable?)
"I love NPR!"
Give them both an enema and they'd fit in a match box.
