So CNN does not wade in the waters of infamy by standing by bogus quotes, it climbs the high ground saying we should not sustain "divisive" characters. As you point out, all the divisiveness come from those who propagate bogus quotes.
This is a tactic abused by the left time and again against Republican or conservative personalities. First defame the man and brand him to be "divisive" because of a furor the left self-created, and piously insist that he should therefore be quarantined out of public discourse.
“The left is diabolical and Orwellian in how it clambers to the high ground while it defames its enemies. Sanchez concludes that Limbaugh is a divisive character and in the next breath confesses that the quotations attributed to Limbaugh which would paint him as divisive are bogus. Nevertheless Sanchez confides, “Limbaugh is a divisive character.”
Nailed!!
The rats’ success in these efforts depends almost wholly on the joe-sixpack public’s ignorance and lack of critical thinking skills.
[This is a tactic abused by the left time and again against Republican or conservative personalities.]
I have been saying this for a long time. Look at the different way news articles and TV news portrays conservatives and liberals: a perfect example is the execution of the man who burned his three children down here in Texas. All of the news is speculating that Gov. Perry is trying to hide something and that there is “new” evidence that seems to prove this guy was innocent. But, you wouldn’t know that this man had over a decade of appeals, including FOUR to the United States Supreme Court, and he was TURNED DOWN! This “new” evidence is just a new “review” of the same OLD evidence. The report review states that the reviewer believes the evidence does NOT support arson; HOWEVER, arson can NOT be ruled out as a possible cause.
You, see they are so busy talking about Rush not getting into the NFL, that they don’t have time to talk about the actual cause: the lies, the race baiting, the bickering over his views, etc... And the liberals will say, we covered that story. No, they covered a PORTION of that story, but they didn’t bother giving any details that would show the big picture - THAT is the bias that people are just now starting to see.
The current news corps give out selected and edited results - not the news as a whole! They do it all the D@MN time!
Remember Joe the Plumber?
Another perfect example: they did more research on Joe the Plumber in 24 hours than they did on Obamao in 24 MONTHS! And news story wasn’t “Can you believe what Mr. Obamao said?” It was “Can you believe Joe isn’t a licensed plumber?” and “Can you believe a man who owes back taxes actually talked to Obamao?”!
Then when the story broke about the background checks on Joe, again the story never was “You remember Joe the Plumber who asked the President so and so...” It was simply Joe the Plumber that McCain made famous! McCain said Joe the Plumber XXX times during the debate!
They gave a portion of the news, but totally FAILED to actually address the portion concerning Obamao’s response. Or they would just gloss over it and move on into an in-depth look into the life of Joe the Plumber!
If there is a problem, create an illusion AROUND the problem and then report on the illusion! Problem isn’t solved, but the sheeple forget about the problem and start thinking about the illusion! Happens every single day on the news! Everyday!!
