MSNBC's Cross Deceptively Edits FL Sheriff on Anti-Riot Law, Mocks Him as 'Barney Fyfe Reject'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/24/2021 1:06:32 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

MSNBC's Tiffany Cross misled viewers today by cutting out a portion of remarks from Polk County, Florida Sheriff Grady Judd explaining the difference between a peaceful protest and a riot.

Cross started the video with Judd pointing to a photo in his right hand, saying: "This is a riot. And this will get you locked up before quick in the State of Florida. Pay attention. We’ve got a new law, and we’re going to use it if you make us. ​​​​​"

Cross then mocked the sheriff as a "Barney Fyfe reject."

But Cross didn't mention the photo that was in the sheriff's left hand, or play the video of what the sheriff had said regarding that photo. You can see it at 1:44 in the video contained in this local Fox News station article.

The other photo was of a demonstration, with a black woman prominently shown with a raised fist. The sheriff said:

"This is a peaceful protest. We encourage it. It's the foundation of our country. And we want people to peacefully protest."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Poor Barney, journalists never spell his name right. It’s Fife. Maybe they’ll get it right next time Howie

“I don’t understand how these people can loom themselves in the mirror.”

Probably too busy making all that material.

Photo of the ruthless prisoner in the maximum security Mayberry jail cell....

But Otis Campbell just finished Aunt Bea’s delicious fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and apple pie.

Then he goes off on law enforcement. Typical.
Barney should tell him to “Nip it. Nip it in the bud.”

Cross was born in Ohio. She grew up between Cleveland, Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia. ... When she was a teenager, she wanted to be the “brown Murphy Brown”.

Polk County Sheriff’s Department should be making Comcast/Infinity crews feel extra welcome.
I normally am against such action by law enforcement, but this is an act of war.
