Media Matters Humiliated
American Thinker | 03/28/2012 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 03/28/2012 7:30:13 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A senior official at Soros-funded Media Matters falsely accused Matt Drudge of publishing a bogus picture of Trayvon Martin, that turned out to be genuine, taken from his Twitter page. After the bogus nature of his accusation was forcefully impressed upon him, senior analyst MJ Rosenberg apologized - not to Drudge, but to readers and the Martin family. This churlish inability to directly address the target of his libel marks Rosenberg almost as seriously as his readiness to accuse first, research later. Fox News reports:

_______________________________

"Racist demagogue Drudge continues to run photo of some kid, not Trayvon for incitement purposes," MJ Rosenberg initially tweeted at 10:56 a.m. ET, after drudgereport.com and other media sites posted a photo of Martin sporting a tank top, looking noticeably older and bigger than he appears in a photograph widely carried by media outlets that have reported on the story.

Rosenberg followed that posting by retweeting a message saying, "Matt Drudge has done more to debase American news coverage than anyone in history of country."

But he was tweeting a different tune at 1:03 p.m., when he wrote, "Mixed up Drudge photo of Trayvon w Michelle Malkin's. Malkin's is an admitted fake. Drudge? Don't know. Sorry." That tweet was immediately followed by another saying, "Malkin apologized for fake #Trayvon photo. I apologize for mixing up her photo with one Drudge used." (snip)

Media Matters is not accepting responsibility for the actions of its senior staff member:

One has to have a conscience to be humiliated.

That’s what makes some on the Left so effective. They never have to think before launching a broadside.

At least he knows he was wrong. Guess it’s OK to use the picture with the gold grill now. So who paid for the dental work? (and the large body art?) Mom and Dad or was he self employed?

Look very closely at the “dental work.” You can buy very cheap gold foil to put on your teeth at Walgreens. It’s VERY popular with the blacks for this very reason.

If you look carefully at this kid’s gold teeth, they appear very amateurish. I’d guess it’s cheap foil.

Your Gold Teeth II - Steely Dan

Who are these children
Who scheme and run wild
Who speak with their wings
And the way that they smile
What are the secrets
They trace in the sky
And why do you tremble
Each time they ride by
CHORUS:
Throw out your gold teeth
And see how they roll
The answer they reveal
Life is unreal

Who are these strangers
Who pass through the door
Who cover your action
And go you one more
If you’re feeling lucky
You best not refuse
It’s your game the rules
Are your own win or lose

Behind it all is George Soros....a world-class subversive, onetime Nazi who bears nothing but ill-will toward America.

Most democrats and progressive politicians are funded by puppet-master Soros.

Soros should be arrested for attempted subversion and conspiracy against America.

Actually, Trevon was a fan of the Glenn Beck program. He mowed lawns, bought gold from “Goldline”, melted down what he needed and then donated the leftover to various charities. :)

You can’t humiliate a liberal.
