MSNBC Omits All Coverage From Minority Speakers at 'Racist' RNC Convention

A funny thing happened on race-obsessed MSNBC tonight. The liberal network failed to give viewers coverage of the speakers who happen to be member of racial minorities. As Francesca Chambers, Editor of Red Alert Politics, reported on August 28th:

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.

Why is MSNBC trying to exclude conservative Republicans of color in their coverage? Could it be that they are aghast that they're not on the side of the infallible Barack Obama? Could it be because it cuts against their persistent whine that the GOP is the party of "dog whistle" politics aimed at working-class white voters?

It's irnoic since Daily Beast contributor Michael Tomasky friviously labeled this year's RNC convention as racist.

Shall we take bets on when Condi Rice's speech is interrupted by a Michelin tire commercial?

And Madcow Maddow will endlessly drone on about the dog whistle RNC convention.

Let me guess. It wasn’t deliberate and you can find it all on their website if you search hard enough.?

MSNBC is the Democrat Plantation Overseer who brings backs the runaway slaves that wanted FREEDOM.......the RACISTS onMSNBC CANNOT let them do that.

I could not find a single channel with uninterrupted coverage of the convention: mostly panel discussions. Some of the panels were uniformly made up of liberals (counting David Brooks as one of them).

CSpan, which used to have clear coverage, was not covering the convention, but featured minor stories of extremely low interest.

[siamesecats]

cspan provided full coverage last night. there is more than one cspan channel.

[CORedneck]

F*** PMSNBC ! I never watch that channel !

[MuttTheHoople]

MSNBC biassed? I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I say!

[Wilum]

cspan provided full coverage last night.

Yes, hats off to C-SPAN. Got to see it all!

[Loud Mime]

I recently re-read Orwell’s 1984. It’s like the playbook of the Obama liberals.

[basil]

I don’t know what your problem was. I watched the convention for several hours yesterday afternoon and evening on CSPAN.

I thought it was well covered, and actually enjoyed some of the speeches—especially Ted Cruz.

[andy58-in-nh]

I'm fairly certain that Orwell did not intend 1984 to be an instruction manual.

MSNBC is an organ of pure agitprop, controlled by political operatives for whom truth and journalism are academic concepts unrelated to their own goals.

[Gasshog]

We need our own TV network. These alphabet networks are all hopelessly red diaper commie fag-loving Obama loving libbies with one agenda and a hugh influence on the mind numbed public skcool populous.

[Loud Mime]

Orwell’s book was a warning to the citizens. His idea of prolefeed is exactly what the alphabet networks are doing now.

Our family is now looking at the idea of using internet TV and killing the cable feeds. Today’s blathering networks are horrible and we’re paying way too much for them. PJTV and other selected feeds look promising.

Anybody know of any good Internet TV stations?

I thought Artur Davis’ speech was excellent.
I watched on PBS...

[Jane Austen]

There is something creepy, bitter, and nasty about Maddow. She appears like somebody frustrated with her life.

This morning I happened to hear a truly stupid statement. Some guy on MSNBC was whining that Ann Romney said her husband would not fail but did not show this to him. I wish I had watched the show long enough to find out who this knucklehead was.

[showme_the_Glory]

Most of MSNBC viewers are people like me that switch to watch during Fox commercials for the entertainment value.

Racist MSNBC Refuses to Air Minority GOP Convention Speakers

[andy58-in-nh]

I watch The Blaze - Glenn Beck's network. The "Real News" segments actually provide information that the agitprop MSM will never tell you (and don't want you to know).

[Psalm 73]

C-SPAN had unfiltered, uninterrupted coverage from end-to-end.
Pundits/analysts are nice, but I'll form my own opinions, thank you.
And thank God for the vision of Brian Lamb and C-SPAN.

[Bernard]

I watched the entire evening on C-Span. Other than a sync problem at the beginning (lips would move then voices would be audible) which they corrected, the coverage was very good.

And then very early in the morning I tried to watch a little bit of the re-run on MSNBC. I could not get past whatever it was Chris Mathews as wearing instead of a shirt and tie. Normally when people look like that somebody offers them a bowl of soup and a pamphlet about how much Jesus loves them.
