MSNBC BLACKOUT
INTERNET E-MAIL | 08/29/2012 | DAILY CALLER

Posted on 08/29/2012 11:16:18 AM PDT by RichSr

I was browsing thru my e-mail when I happened on the Daily Ccaller. If you read it you'll see why Rachel Maddow is on so much.

One of the left’s favorite attacks on the Republican Party is that it is the party of old white people, devoid of diversity and probably racist.

If you were watching MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday night, you might believe those assertions, since missing from the coverage was nearly every ethnic minority that spoke during Tuesday’s festivities.

In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.

Throughout this convention, Matthews has accused the Republicans of playing dog-whistle racist politics while on scene in Tampa. It isn’t clear, however, if Matthews will hurl accusations of racism at Davis, Love or Cruz for speeches his network failed to broadcast.

MSNBC must be racist for not airing these speeches. Do they believe these fine people didn’t deserve any airtime on their network?

Just a reminder that Comcast owns 51% and GE owns 49% of the NBCUniversal joint venture. And Microsoft sold it’s share of MSNBC, so that’s all owned by this company now.

Just something to keep in mind when we spend our money.

FORMULA: Do not show black speakers at the convention.

(Cut to MSNBC)

Maddow: "Hey, have you noticed, I haven't seen one black speaker at the convention!"

Matthews: "That's because Republicans are racist!"

Maddow: "Well, maybe yes, maybe no. But I haven't seen ONE black speaker at the convention."

Beckel: "F__ing Republicans f__ing hate f__ing minorities. Oh, and by the way, I'd like to add: F___."

Maddow: "Well, I don't know how they are going to appeal to black voters when we don't see one black person speaking at the convention. (listens to earpiece).... hold on... we need to cut to the next speaker. Guess what. They are white."

Beckel: "F___!!!!"

It’s just too damn bad that no Republican has the guts to call MSNBC out on it’s own racism.

Willful omission of the truth is the same as a lie. These 'journalists' have hardy qualified for the name in a very long time.
