NBC News Fails to Note 'Bipartisan' Group of Elected Officials That Opened WWII Memorial All GOP
NewsBusters ^ | October 2, 2013 | P.J. Gladnick

Last night NBC Evening News featured the story about WWII veterans who were denied access to the WWII memorial in Washington, D.C. supposedly due to the government shutdown. After being denied entry for about 15 minutes, a group of congressional officials opened the barricades and tape to allow entry of the veterans. To watch this NBC News report you would barely have any idea who lowered the barricades except for a quick innacurate mention of a  "bipartisan" group.

The NBC News report with transcript  is below the fold. Since this report is inaccurate in what it leaves out, there is also a video interview with Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann which fills in the holes that NBC News very conveniently left out of its report.

Of course, NBC News will go to great lengths to avoid casting Michelle Bachmann in a good light.

Were ALL the open-air memorials fenced up and closed like they did to the privately-funded WW2 Memorial, such as Viet Nam Wall, Korean Conflict Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King Memorial, etc.????

If it was bi-partisan at all it was because some of the GOP members were tea partiers and some we not.

NBC ‘NEWS’ is to news as cardboard is to steak.

I believe a lot, if not all, of them were closed.

Unfortunately for our country and us, we cannot fire the MSM for dereliction of their duty as our watchdogs but we sure don’t have to spend one nano-second watching their programming or reading their papers.

I’ve canceled my local paper. Has anyone else?

I do not watch NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC but I do watch FOX (that will p off a bunch of the absolute purists here who love to bitch about FOX but offer no viable alternative).

If anyone does not realize how well government, government schools, our universities, our media, have worked hand in hand to implement the Communist Manifesto, I would suggest you take the time to read it and you will be amazed at exactly how much has been accomplished.

This would be a very great opportunity for the Patriot Guard Riders to escort all future trips of these WWII vets.

Josef Goebbels would be proud of NBC.

Last night ABC news Dianne Sawyer said “ ‘someone’ opened it”.

Yes. About fifteen years ago when their biased coverage became unbearable.

Since that time I have encouraged Freepers many times to cancel their subscriptions. Their money and attention to the advertisers puts food into the mouths of those who would destroy us.

About three years ago. I also do not go to see or rent Movies made in Hollywood. I do not watch network t.v. news, nor network t.v dramas. I watched “Lockdown “ until I realized that one of the main stream media networks producedit. Then I no longer watch it.
