MSNBC Lies about gun in crowd

[SteelMartini]

I don't mind a little error in reporting but tapping peoples phones and bribing officials to get news stories is criminal and reflects the values of the organization. Murdoch should be in jail and the viewers of Fox should get some decency and stop watching that rubbish.

[thomaserossi]

@SteelMartini "I don't mind a little error in reporting "

You're a brain dead moron. You're so indoctrinated you're mentally retarded. There was no "error" you fucking idiot!

[maumor2]

months later a "white guy" wtih a gun killed 6 people on an attack on representative Giffords

yes MSNBC was overreacting......

[Mrpztron]

They were tax exempt while GE owned them. Basically they were subsidized into a propaganda machine. The Subsidization of big business by tax exemptions that we are currently seeing is straight out of FDR's playbook. The supposed "infrastructure bank" is pure vote subsidization also.

[Userofname69]

Seems to me all 3 msnbc, cnn, and fox news are guilty of lies. Atleast fox news is patriotic and not out to destroy America as we KNOW it. People will tolorate lies if it fits there idiology. Its what makes them feal good. MSNBC is the most vile of the 3. Poison and hate they spew. And those who watch and agree are full of hate and dont even realize it. Or they might and dont care.

I have gone over seas to Balance my news now.

[chiliflower]

MSNBC is evil. 

[VirtuesPenumbra]

This is the best you can do? This comes off more as a mistake than anything. Compare this with Fox, who's mission statement actually decrees that they show favoritism to Republicans.

But I guess this is what you can expect from people who's ideology is constantly and irretrievably in conflict with objectivity.

[58fenix]

@VirtuesPenumbra Dude they knew.Come on.

[VirtuesPenumbra]

@58fenix

We don't know if they knew or not. Maybe they did.

My point was that there are many more clear, and irrefutable examples of Fox using deceptive tactics.

Search for "MSNBC Lies" and what you'll find is likely just this example again...and again.

Do the same thing for "Fox Lies" and you'll watching videos from here until Christmas.

To be clear, I don't think its right for any news source to deceive people. And I don't regularly watch Fox or MSNBC.

[bmilsk99]

I agree MSNBC's purposefully spinning their info in an unfair way, but I don't see this as a lie necessarily. She says about a dozen people at the event were visibly carrying fire arms. The ratio of minorities to whites with firearms is unknown, so for all we know, most of those with firearms could've been white. However, I don't think the race of about dozen people in the crowd says anything about racial tension.

[pattimac373]

i dont understand where the lie was ? that guy had a gun LOL....so what it was a black guy this was a bad attempt to show how msnbc lies .. ill keep looking though

[thestevester94]

@pattimac373 You honestly can't see it? They tried to incite racial tension.

[imart9000]

i agree that this is a stretch (the racist overtones) but the underlining story of weirdos bringing guns to these rallies to intimidate is totally valid. And yes, this type of shit does encourage fringe members of society to escalate the level of violence

[1973timc]

this is why i no longer watch msnbc.

[chixsngr]

Excuse me, old guard.....Just because he read The Communist Manifesto (which is required college reading, by the way) doesn't negate the fact that he had tons of right wing, anti government, literature in his possession. It doesn't make him a LIBERAL. But again...a great example of how right wing media distorts the truth. Unlike this pathetic little attempt to say "See? They do it too!"

[theJdoggIMS]

The racist thing was uncalled for, but the armed citizen was sending a clear message to Obama: one of intimation. That concerns me. I was always brought up with guns and we learned that guns are for defense, plinking, and food. He was looking for the spotlight.

[orangeblood307]

@theJdoggIMS Or maybe he was expressing his 2nd amendment right since obama is wanting to reinstate the assault-rifle ban.

[LairdAnarion]

I see your side of this, I really do. However, whether they worried about this issue or not, they are THE entity that made lying in the news legal. And they did it because it suited them to do so at the time, regardless of the long term consequences to the field of journalism.

Now, all sides have begun to take more liberties with reporting the news.

[tootall1911]

We as americans have a right to carry guns, its called the second amendment. I know the secret service carries a gun, and why do they??? to protect themselves? well there you go, think about it.

[LairdAnarion]

CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC have ALL been busted lying.

Side Note: How is this legal?

In Feb. 2003 a Florida Appellate Court ruled that Jane Akre, was not entitled to damages when she was fired by Fox News for refusing to take part in a false story.

Fox News argued that there is no written rule against distortion of the news. After 3 failed attempts, they won in an appeal. This has made false reporting legal for years.

Thank you Fox News, you made journalist integrity a thing of the past!

[AnakNangTupa]

@LairdAnarion There are 3 sides in a story, both sides & the truth in between.

Read the article by Lawrence K. Grossman, fmr Pres. of NBC News & PBS, published in the prestigious Columbia U Journalism Review on 03/1/2001, it details how Fox was simply trying to make the series bullet-proof against Monsanto’s aggressive legal team, with no help from Akre & Wilson: "Fox -- unquestionably worried about the ‘dire consequences’ it would suffer if any part of the story were the slightest bit off"

[CaptainPriceLives]

Hahahah what did this have to do with race??? Typical MSNBC.

[dewerbylhserf]

IN THE END,? KETH OLBERMANN WAS THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. BYE BYE BATHTUBE BOY

[orangeblood307]

@dewerbylhserf You do know keith is now one of the people running msnbc? He didn't go anywhere, so he really just got a promotion. I personally wish he would drive off a cliff.

[GhostsInMyAttic]

Funny Rick Sanchez is outta work now and another thing Rick has no clue what a AR-15 is, I have 3 in my gun safe.

[peterphilip]

MSNBC screwed up. They could have easily found a white asshole but they didn't. That does not change the fact that there are racists out there who are pissed about Obama. Slavery was 140 years ago. That is 2 lifetimes since white people owned black people. OWNED them. You think there aren't racists hating Obama?! JUST LISTEN TO GLENN BECK! OR SEAN HANNITY! OR RUSH LIMBAUGH... I could go on. The racists have their own media! Who feed them lies every day about how evil liberals are.

[orangeblood307]

@peterphilip You're fucking crazy.... Just because someone hates on the president, does not mean they are racist. You would be a perfect empolyee at msnbc thinking the way you do.

[jad3948]

they showed the picture of the gun, but also said "a DOZEN people" were visibly carrying guns...

plus that doesnt change the fact that crazy tea party nuts carry guns to a presidential rally.

[orangeblood307]

@jad3948 They carry guns to remind obama they have a right to do so.

[tehutimes1]

Fucking fox news isn't biased??? Fucking faux news lied on death panels!!!!!

Some negros are ignorant like caucasians!!! No need to inspect food supplies,

let power grids crumble,don't shovel snow off the roads,don't keep public malls

safe & clean for obese scooter riding tea bag junkies carrying signs they can't spell or find words in a thesaurus since it would be elitism.AMERICANS ARE BEING TROD UPON BY GOVERNMENT WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT!!!!! DAMN WHAT IGNORANCE!!!!!!

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@tehutimes1 So you want the same type of health care that canada has...? They do have death panels there.

[orangeblood307]

@tehutimes1 Both news chennels are fuckin biased. Fox atleast admits they're bias, msnbc won't admit it.

[thomaserossi]

@tehutimes1 - You're so indoctrinated you're fucking stupid.  You're so stupid from indoctrination you're too stupid to post something. You're too stupid to figure out that this is YouTube where videos are posted. Yes, you're that fucking stupid.

Go ahead you brainless dip shit. Go ahead and post a video where Fox lies outright claiming someone is white when they're black. Go ahead moron. We'll wait forever because it didn't happen and you're so fucking stupid you'll keep believing it did.

[wiseidiot5763]

It's amazing how fast they turned a gun issue into a race issue.

[dagayle06]

WTF THIS IS STUPID!! I don't see the spin here how is this a lie? that actually happened and there is video they are just saying what happened it doesn't even sound like political spin...WTF is wrong with you ppl?

[randomscience1]

@dagayle06 You are kidding right? She specifically said "white men with guns strapped to their waist"

But they didn't pan up to show that it was a BLACK PERSON!

They were just trying to gin up a racial problem that didn't exist.

[orangeblood307]

@dagayle06 Wtf is wrong with you? Are you too stupid to realize they tried to make it look like a white guy was carrying the gun then said he was racist for carrying it. Later cnn revealed it was a black guy carrying that gun. So msnbc was trying to play the race card as always.

[dagayle06]

@orangeblood307 excuse me but where did the race card come from in this? there were actually people with guns near the president. that was the story that's what they reported I don't see how this is racist all I see are a bunch of crazy right wingers showing off their package close to a democratic president so STFU the only racist i see here is the person wasting my time responding to post i made 5 months ago and a story that's even more dated.

[orangeblood307]

@dagayle06 I was just telling you that they tried to play the race card when it was really a black guy with the assault rifle. Also they were miles from obama, they weren't a threat, they were making a point to a democratic president who wants to control guns. If i'm wasting your time don't fucking reply, it's that easy!

[hahakilledu]

i dont see how msnbc or cnn were lying or spinning the story?

[TampAnonymous]

@hahakilledu msnbc said there was white men carrying weapons at an anti-obama rally (inferring racism on behalf of the whites) when in actuality the biggest offender was a nigger.

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@hahakilledu Then you`re an idiot.

[hahakilledu]

i dont see how msnbc or cnn were lying of spinning the story?

[GoneGuano]

It's hilarious how MSNBC calls Fox News bias (they are at times, just like every news organization) and then in the very same breath insult republicans and conservatives and say they're "racist" or "intolerant." Just another reason why I can't trust any side in the political world. Think for yourself people!!!

[Juanchopepe86]

Top most biased News Networks in the country

1. Fox News- RIGHTfully fair and balanced.

2. MSNBC- The place LEFT for politics.

3. CNN- Can't make up its mind.

[colinjrob1]

fucking wow, they have guns because because they are sick of their rights being infringed upon. Hate groups? really? I'm sick of this msnbc rhetoric bullshit. Someone needs to burn that station to the fucking ground right now. And Rich Sanchez is a communist

[dewerbylhserf]

MSLSD

[dewerbylhserf]

she is the best

[Freenetnow]

MSNBC is just a fraud propped up by big business. They are owned by Microsoft and GE.

[gundamfreak4]

MSNBC is nothing but a government propaganda organazation that wants to split up the people by labeling some racist, divide and conquer if you will, dont know if thats what they were going for but they need to make people beleive that if your against obama then your a racist no ifs, ands, or buts, MSNBC IS A JOKE! ANYNE WHOS THEM SERIOUS LY IS AS WELL

[spgfld1903]

What a douch...the guy was black...the prez is black...whats ya point??? also jerkoffs...imagine the armed citizen...actually helped the pres from some sick-o!!! who by the way...would NOT be a law abiding citizen...99% of crime with guns are criminals to start with...and DO NOT seek out to get a premit!!

[meanranger]

Check out the new group at facebook "PEOPLE WITH ENOUGH COMMON SENSE TO KNOW THAT MSNBC IS NOT NEWS"...not much now but it will be full of commentary and evidence supporting the fact that MSNBC is hate-baiting;race-baiting; and definitly not journalism.

[spgfld1903]

@meanranger you got that right..i just boycott them..wouldnt listen to that lib rag...ever!!

[meanranger]

Mark Hinkley? Dumbass Race-baiter....John Hinkley. White man on white man wasn't race based and doesn't give your false agenda any creedence. ASSHOLE

[Oldguard900]

politicalview.... "Our wonderful people at MSNBC spuins (sic) the story as if some white crazed maniac might be hunting Obama down."

I'm not referring to this particular guy with the guns, but do you honestly believe that there AREN'T "white crazed maniac(s)" with guns out there who want to do serious damage?

[PoliticalView1]

@Oldguard900 Probably. But, that's not the point in this particular news report. What MSNBC did in this case is called "baiting". No good.

[Chslosers]

Oh my god.. a group of white people who agree.. break up the clan meeting.

[Chslosers]

@Oldguard900 Considering that the majority of the population is white I would say yea there are white people who want to do damage. Does that mean that blacks, jews, and hispanics don't ? dipshit

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@Oldguard900 There has been more death threats on Obama than any other president.

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@Oldguard900 There has been more death threats on Obama than any other president, From what I have read on many different sites he gets 30 a day.

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@Oldguard900 There has been more death threats on Obama than any other president, From what I have read on many different sites he gets 30 a day an increase of 400%.

[jazzyhap]

@Oldguard900

I know a white crazed maniac with a gun tried to kill a Democrat Congresswoman.

He was a white liberal gun toting atheist.

[Oldguard900]

"ruler of many"?? lol! How about "delusions of grandeur"? Do not EVER mistake quantity for quality.

[RulerOFmany]

Who the hell watching MSNBC?! Theyre getting their ass kicked by Fox News! They should change their name to msLSD

[livingabudhabi]

the lie was that the man that was carrying the gun was black not a racist white. They are consistantlly trying to make people think that a gun owner is a white racist redneck Hilbilly .

[abc1000001]

MSNBC pushes racism. This is racist, doesn't matter what color they refer to.

[excelwelding]

MSNBC ought to be moved to the cartoon network.

[nygiants93]

dude....that is an insult to cartoon network.

it should be put on comedy central. at least then it would seem like they were trying to be a parody news station. lol;)

[mta415]

excelwelding, dude! why do you want to ruin the Cartoon network! LOL!!! think of the kids man, the kids!!!!

[FreeAvidD]

LOL- Republicans are just sooo cute!!

[376OG]

Sorry I dont see the "LIE" here. They are trying to make a larger point. BTW they there were others there with guns.

[999ballzout]

every news station lies but some more then other s**cough** fox news**cough**

[asdewqasdfgh]

"a man of color" and "white people"

hmmm...this is exactly why msnbc is a bunch of crap

[ThoughtfulDiscussion]

They more than just spun this story. They gave it a full 180. What are we to believe now? A racist black man showed up to protest the black president? Want to know the first news station I saw uncover this lie? Fox News, you know, just the news station the left says lies all the time just because they decide that praising the president isn't actual news.

[otterfiend]

@ThoughtfulDiscussion show us the dated material that fox news did it first and i may give your comments a chance

[MrFreeLibertarian]

Wow can you jut imagine the meeting they had at MSNBC before they edited this video and lied about the story? Talk about the willingness of Progressives, like MSNBC execs Obama, to do and say anything for political power. If you watch this channel you're just an idiot! Really, I mean knowing that they do lie and it is indisputable hat they do and you still watch, you're just an idiot. You know your being lied to and you love it! Like dogs that eat their own vomit cause it tastes good to them

[narinv]

when was it ever appropriate to have guns at a rally by the president? honest question. If bush opposers were at his rally with guns you wouldnt be thinking good thoughts

[PoliticalView1]

The event was coordinated with the local police in this matter. The man in question never really was "near" the president.

As for having good (or bad) thoughts if this were to happen when Bush was in office? I would think it was odd since Liberals opposed Bush. I mean, why would they carry guns? Liberals want to change our Constitution and take our guns away.

[jerfy2001]

it is always appropriate. it is your right. the revolutionary war was fought for you to have the right. practice it.

[txfirehawk]

My guns will be the last thing taken from me.

[FotoSpencer]

narinV... the point was that MSNBC spun the story to make it look as though the guy with the gun was WHITE so they could put a racial spin on it... unfortunately for MSNBC the man was black so they had to lie about the story and say it was WHITE PEOPLE NEAR OUR BLACK PRESIDENT WITH GUNS

[exChristian666]

There were 12 people with gun , Go read news .

[JHag459]

Yes, and they were all wearing the same pants, same shirts, carrying the same gun, and 11 out of the 12 were white racists! That much CANNOT be denied! Nobody checks facts like MSNBC!

[MrFreeLibertarian]

I guess you heard that on MSNBC and they didn't lie this time! yeah right!

[jfam3]

This is it all you can come up with ?? wow! When Fox News lies every day, every day!

[wmalcom]

Wow, I am drawn back by your stupidity.

[JHag459]

Yes, and they were all wearing the same pants, same shirts, carrying the same gun, and 11 out of the 12 were white racists! That lone black dude was singled out by the racist right wing! That much CANNOT be denied! Nobody checks facts like MSNBC!

[jimbo525SE]

So let me get this straight. A lone black man is in the middle of a group of white racists with guns, and no one harassed him at all?

[ThoughtfulDiscussion]

Of course not! These people are the Tea Party protesters! They are not there to protest race. They are there to protest Obama's spending and radical programs. Of course MSNBC would LOVE for you to think otherwise. It was this clip that forever discredited MSNBC in my mind. They took one gun and tried to blow it up saying "white PEOPLE with GUNS." Such blatant bias and dishonest journalism. Some people make mistakes, but this was on purpose.

[starlionblue]

@ThoughtfulDiscussion I thought you would know better. CNN is propaganda. It's not a news station and people who think it's a news station are ridiculous and refuse to see the real world around them. Note that their stupid viewers ALWAYS blast critics as "racist" or "Fox news watchers" whenever someone questions their silly reports.

[jerfy2001]

are you that stupid? 1. he had the gun, not the white people, 2. they were all protesters against obama, why would they waste time harassing this individual, 3. WHY MUST EVERYONE WHO OPPOSES OBAMA BE LABELED A RACIST!!! every time democrats use this reasoning (jumping to the conclusion that its racism whenever someone doesnt agree with him). thats such a cop out, they pull out the racist card, and then everyone goes oh never mind, i love obama's policy, cuz im not a racist... lol

[jerfy2001]

and in case anyone wants to call me a racist,my dad is black, making me half black... so yea... go ahead and try and go there...

[jimbo525SE]

uhhhh I was using sarcasm to point out how stupid some other posters are. Another poster said that MSNBC was referring to the group in general as racists not the one black guy. In that case, its rather strange how this guy can be completely comfortable surrounded by people who hate him. (sarcasm)

Also I could be wrong, but I think the entire group is armed. His gun is just bigger than everyone else's.

[MrFreeLibertarian]

Too bad you don't have a nice video to go along with your wishful thinking. If you're defending this MSNBC video, you're an idiot. Move out of your parents' basement and get a life!

[laughingcossack]

MSNBC who? I thought these guys were now broadcasting from Cuba on a 1000 watt station.

[PoliticalView1]

Unfortunately they are still in the US. Brewers comments should be of interest to the Secret Service due to her possibly inciting harm to the president.

As I am sure you know, the Right has done a lot of yelling. But, the Left are the one's who are being arrested for violence and destruction. Carrying photos of Hitler is another consideration of the Left.

[RealEveryDay]

*10 year ban

[RealEveryDay]

If so, the Steyr AUG is a bullpup weapon (the mag goes into the stock). Either way, you didn't make the mistake of referring to it as an assault weapon. This is important because (as you may know) we had a 10 ban on "assault weapons", however not 1 of those weapons affected by the ban were full-auto. It was irresponsible to ban them under that title. It'd be like banning SUVs & but only including imported luxury sedans. Wording is VERY important in law & news!

[RealEveryDay]

The Bushmaster Carbon 15 is really just a generalization for the carbon-fibre upper & lower receiver AR15s. I have 2 of these guns (both in 9mm), 1 pistol, 1 rifle. The exact model he appears to have is the Bushmaster Carbon 15 M4 "Flat Top" Carbine. Check out Bushmaster's site & go to the home defense section under, "Products". There's no mistaking it. Not sure what you mean by a GAU. That's a military term to describe weapons for aviation (Gun, Aircraft Unit). Did you mean AUG?

[RealEveryDay]

Dude, I thank you SO much for posting this! When I found the first video (seen AFTER I saw the pictures of 'Chris'), I was SO pissed at MSN-P.C. for this. It DOES seem to suggest that they are trying to incite "racial overtones". I ALSO thnk you for NOT referring to the Carbon-15 that Chris was carrying as an, "Assault Weapon" (as ALL of the libs commonly do). Again, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! BOYCOTT MSNBC!!!!!

[PoliticalView1]

Subscribe to my videos. I try to give the full story. The weapon actually looks like a GAU. I used the medias wording to keep people from being too confused. I'm not sure if it's a carbon-15. The weapon in the vid seems longer.
