On Sunday, CNN’s Fredericka Whitfield claimed that she merely “misspoke” on Saturday when she called the gunman in the Dallas Police Department attack “very courageous and brave,” but fell short of actually apologizing for her controversial comments.

Oh, another "What I had meant was...." moment. When will it devolve into "I didn't say that, you're taking it out of context because I appear to be black." "I really said the PoPo were courageous and brave." And she gave a john f'n kohn-heinz-kerryesque apology. "I'm sorry that you aren't nuanced enough to understand what I said." IOW=you're dunces and I'm not.

The header on Yahoo says she apologized. When did “I misspoke” become “I’m sorry”?

This hate speech towards our first responders should send this CNN Anchor packing. Others have been fired for less.

Ref: john f’n kohn-heinz-kerry guidelines on how to make an apology into a missive on the listeners stupidity/ignorance.

A few months ago the local Safeway had a sale on kettle popcorn. I stocked. Now, every day, I microwave a bag and watch the left meltdown.

I don’t really understand where this media thing for praising horrible asshats thing is coming from, other than suspecting it’s an administration thing. I saw Shep Smith praising the ISIS video editors to the heavens with this look on his face like he could barely get the words out, afterward he threw the paper down and glared at it.

“”I’m sorry that you aren’t nuanced enough to understand what I said.” IOW=you’re dunces and I’m not.”

I’ve heard Obama (what a surprise) say very similar things, insulting those who are not intelligent enough to understand his high minded meaning.

she clearly expressed her racist heart. If a white male reporter had said that he would have been fired before he left the news set. She needs to be fired.

Lots of people on our side have had to resign their jobs for less, and not one was allowed to say “I misspoke” and write it off.

Sad to say, the conservatives will probably end up staying home while the hoards of trespassers line up to vote themselves more free stuff come ‘16. I hope I’m wrong. The gopE is self destructing with two or three dozen never rans stepping up to try to get the nomination. Absolutely absurd. The left can’t melt fast enough to get down to the rights level. Masters of manipulation.

I understood exactly what she meant by the comment. Sometimes these empty headed mouths say whatever words pop into their heads without any concern for more than filling up time slots. She meant, “He is a powerful force for evil.” It just came out wrong.

If an anchor says something stupid on CNN, and nobody is there to watch her, does she make a sound?

Wrapping a baldfaced lie with an insult and expecting that to shut people up.

Well, part of the problem IS our fault, that we have been treating the MSM as prophets.

Another DC goose stepper running her suck. They never get fired and they continue to get a pay check.
