Twitchy.com has been all over the story of NBC’s latest… I was about to say “latest ethical lapse,” but that would imply they have any ethics to begin with. Let’s just call it the latest example of NBC lying so egregiously, even a few other liberal media outlets are calling them out on it. Twitchy deserves our thanks for catching the lie and presenting the truth.
And now the cover-up begins at NBC. Erik Wemple at WaPo has the latest:
MSNBC is reviewing its portrayal of the testimony of Neil Heslin, the father of a Sandy Hook victim, at a legislative hearing in Hartford on Monday. The 33-second video clip in question… features a graphics box saying “Mocked and Loaded. Sandy Hook Victim’s Father Heckled by Gun Rights Advocates.”“We’re reviewing the video in question,” says an MSNBC source.
Smart move, considering that Heslin wasn’t, in fact, heckled. Audience members merely answered a challenge that Heslin posed from the microphone.
Which isn’t stopping “news” outlets like BuzzFeed and HuffPo from continuing to spread the heckling story, because it confirms their biases. It’s too good to check.
So now MSNBC will “review” it, and in a few days they’ll put out a press release saying they’ve taken measures to ensure it won’t happen again, and that’ll be it. If somebody gets fired over it, they won’t tell us who. It’ll be just like their completely opaque response to the deceptively edited George Zimmerman 911 call.
And they’ll continue to do this kind of crap, because they have no incentive to stop. The left will continue to spread lies and disinformation, and it’ll be passed along by willing dupes who can’t or won’t look past their ignorance and lazy prejudices.
All we can do to fight this is tell the truth. Push back. Every day.
Every damn day.

Did you read the link in my post 32? It has a reasonable explanation and an interview with the guy whose plates they supposedly were. All the websites claiming the plate number is not Lanza's (either his or the mom) is using the story that the other name was mentioned during the calls, and they don't say that it was confirmed not to be Lanza's. Pure errant speculation.
Ohhh really!!!! Your next question shows that not to be so.
Seems like theres a great number of speculative info out there, as well as confused or erroneous police reporting about a shooter in custody (at first) as well as a dispatcher tape that is not really proof of much.
There is little to speculate about and the dispatch tape, among other things, proves it.
There is a video of several people running into the woods, but if I had been around there, I might have left the scene in a hurry.
You might want to leave this scene in a hurry because you sound like a confused you tube conspiracy-feeding videomaker.
What I find odd OISA is your inability to take a hint.
Anybody including you can check the personal property records of Connecticut to find out if Nancy Lanza owned a black Honda. Have you done that??? Why not??? Don't you find that odd???
Why don't you check those records and let us all know what you find. Until then cut the crap and give it a rest.
Sorry, I’m just commenting on the “information” that’s out there- I don’t post anything on UTube, never have...
I is not the same car. Look at the bottom of the front bumper on the second picture. The bottom of the front bumper is metallic or silver/gray plastic.
Good to know there is another Shreveport/Bossier grown Freeper out there!
Steere/Broadmoore/Byrd Class of 82, and yes those plaid skirts did have a mean streak. ;)
What difference, at this point, does it make?/s/
