MSNBC wants you to think the Republican Party hates minorities. So much so that the liberal news network cut minority speeches from it’s convention coverage.
When popular Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, the GOP nominee for Senate, took the stage, MSNBC cut away from the Republican National Convention and the Hispanic Republican from Texas’ speech.
MSNBC stayed on commercial through former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis’ speech, as well. Davis, who recently became a Republican, is black.
Then, when Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuno’s wife Luce’ Vela Fortuño took the stage minutes later, MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews opted to talk over the First Lady’s speech.
And Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval? Noticeably missing from MSNBC, too.
Mia Love, a black candidate for Congress in Utah, was also ignored by MSNBC.
Will MSNBC conveniently manage not to show Governor Luis Fortuno’s speech tomorrow (Wednesday night) as well?
Former Secretary of State and prominent black conservative Condoleezza Rice is also slated to speak at tomorrow night’s convention.

LOL
yes we are... 8^)
As we got rid of DISH two years ago, and I learned on line that CNN was covering it, (Fox News wasn’t mentioned) I gave in and watched CNN. To my amazement, there was NO intrruption UNTIL Chris Christie was cut off in mid speech. I then shifted to Fox News and watched to the end.

do you mean to tell me that all 7 of their viewers will miss those speeches....disaster!!!
There was actually someone watching PMSNBC???
We saw nearly all the speeches on PBS, which had four hours of coverage. We saw all the minority speakers. Maya Love and Ted Cruz were outstanding, as were the gov. of Puerto Rico and his wife. Artur Davis gave a good speech, too, explaining how he got wound up in the moment four years ago, when America became more inclusive than it had ever been. His explanation was excellent of what’s gone wrong, how 0 has failed, and what must be done now.
The panelists inadvertently missed Nikki Haley’s speech when they gave too much time to Newt. They were no match for him, individually or combined.
The governors who were guests were also outstanding, with Homeric answers to everything that was asked or alleged.
MSNBC is racist. There’s no other explanation for how they cut every black anchor, how Chris Matthews automatically associates poor performance with being black, and how they don’t want to broadcast black people speaking.
Bob and Elaine Maddow.
They're just mean.
They really should have named him Mike.
It’s really a shame that the two or three MSNBC viewers are not getting the full picture. :(
Or Butch.
So msnbc is racially segregating their coverage? Isn’t that against the law or something...?
Did you plan on watching it?
I only got in for the last hour or so. Turned out to be the best part.
The parade of LADIES (meant in the official and original dictionary definition) leading up to Ann Romney was brilliant.
The Ladies and Gentlemen both remarked that there was a difference between ‘men’ and ‘women’. Viva La Difference’
(and THANK GOD, it’s about time we got that issue straight)
Ann Romney. What can one say? Beauty. Intelligence. Sincerity. Poise. 100% Woman. 500% Mother.
Her delivery? A 9.98.
She dealt with crowd reaction, speeding up or slowing down. She didn’t have awkward pauses in between soundbytes. She knew when to keep going, when to wait. Perfect ‘timing’. She was convincing, and even though she was reading a speech, there was no doubt this was truly from the heart.
Speaking of the speech she gave, whomever wrote it deserves accolades.
I don’t care if I ever see Mitt speak. I watched him tonight, mostly quiet, calm, and reserved. The accolades directed to him, and camera center on him showed someone who doesn’t see himself as the center of the universe.
I get the idea he would just as soon get started on solving the problems, instead of basking in the adoration (if you know what I mean).
That leads to Gov. Christie. Sometimes it takes a BIG MAN to do BIG THINGS. Gov. Christie is a big man. I mean that in the most complimentary way.
His presentation, like Ann’s was almost flawless. His speech, very well written, very powerful. Excellent delivery and (the all important) TIMING.
The benediction.... you said it.
The Misty Blue Cloudshow in the background. Ingenious. Soothing. Helped keep focus on the speaker. Mind control (the good kind)
Altering the Lengthy and Pre-Planned Schedule to ensure the safety of all from the hurricane, and doing it with class and style.... PRICELESS.
True. But do you blame the addicts or the drug dealer ?
Even PBS which at least “covered” the early hours before Ann Romney and Christie spoke managed to cut away to their “analysts” when people like Davis and Sandoval were on - by the way I wonder what David Brooks, one of their stooges, thinks of the crease in Mitt Romney’s pants......
By 'segregating' the coverage, I believe MSNBC is (mistakenly) operating on the principle of "what they don't know won't hurt em".
Somewhere in a land far away there must be someone who is surprised by this.
It is clear, NBC wants “Ns” to Be Commies
The left are the worst most despicable racists I have ever witnessed. My lefty aunt is coming unglued. Chris Mathews is freaking out. My lefty sister seems to be focusing on other things than Obama and politics - Thank you God.
We are in a pivotal time in our history.
