Kornacki Clams Up as Guest Calls Michael Brown Death 'Murder'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Dial MSNBC for Murder . . . The Lean Forward network is the place to go if that's the way you want to hear the death of Michael Brown described. On August 12th, NB'S Ken Shepherd noted that Chris Hayes didn't utter a peep of protest when a Missouri state senator called Brown's death an "execution-style" killing. Three days later on MSNBC, Luke Russert called Brown's death "murder" before catching himself.

It's happened again. On today's Up With Steve Kornacki, guest L. Joy Williams pointedly called the Brown death "murder." Did Kornacki challenge his guest's assertion in any way? Of course not. At the end of her statement, Kornacki blandly posed a question to Williams about poll results. Courageous journalism, Steve!

One of the racist commentators on CNN called it murder in passing and the “news” woman kept right on with the segment without any comment at all.

Oh yes, that was the MSNBC show called Up Yours With Steve Kornacki.

But as I complained about multiple times last week to apparently no outrage by anybody....Fox News Ed Henry one day last week on O`Reilly (Bill O was not there) referred to the shooting as a apparent Murder and the fill in host Eric Bolling also never winked.

Don’t you just love it when Liberals mouth off before learning all the facts. How entertaining.

Fox News Ed Henry earlier this week referred to the shooting as “an apparent murder” Those were his EXACT words, he was a guest on O’reilly hosted by Eric Bolling.

Erik never even blinked, I immediately emailed Fox to several emails, but nobody commented, I saw Ed later that night on Hannity and there was no apology or anything.

I searched and found nothing, it was like nobody else witnessed it. Where`s the outrage?

Actually I found it now .... ED HENRY .....This trip to Washington was planned before this tragic murder in Missouri

The President Weighs In
Guest: Ed Henry
Taking time out from his Martha’s Vineyard vacation, President Obama was back in Washington for meetings Monday. He weighed in on the Ferguson mayhem, decrying a “gulf of mistrust” between cops and citizens in many cities. Eric spoke with Fox News White House Correspondent Ed Henry. “This trip back to Washington was about optics,” Henry declared. “This is about breaking up the vacation so he wasn’t on Martha’s Vineyard for two weeks while these crises overseas and at home play out. This trip to Washington was planned before this tragic murder in Missouri, and I really think it’s about optics. They’re trying to show that he’s on top of these things.”

That is why they are liberals...they don’t know the facts. Reality to liberals is a foreign concept.
