NBC News Caught Red Handed ‘Selectively Editing’ & ‘ Doctoring’ Video to Smear Gov Perry as Racist

Ed Schultz used a deceptive edit to misinform his audience about the content of Gov. Rick Perry's speech in Iowa yesterday. Schultz claimed that Gov. Perry was calling President Obama a "black cloud hanging over America" when in fact, the governor was talking about the national debt.

*Yawn*. Typical of PMSNBC. This is the best they can come up with? Doesn't fool anyone, except the few who already support the Obamanazi.

Puckrock   August 16th, 2011 - 1:06 pm

what a bloated pig………

Djmcs11   August 16th, 2011 - 1:07 pm

"There".

morconservative   August 16th, 2011 - 1:07 pm

Video not working, but should ANYONE be surprised? This is the same "bag of fail" that called Laura Ingraham a sl#t.

Stand up if you think he will be fired. Ah – we're all sitting comfortably. Heck, NBC news probably put him up to it.

CrooklynBoy   August 16th, 2011 - 1:07 pm

The left is terrified. Their whole world is crashing down and none of the traditional Saul Alinsky nonsense is working. They are desperate.

shawnberger   August 16th, 2011 - 1:07 pm

"Video not found…" Please fix. Thanks :)

Small Thoughts   August 16th, 2011 - 1:08 pm

NBC needs to use deceptive editing on Special Ed to make him seem honest.

Comrade Terry   August 16th, 2011 - 1:08 pm

I'll bet that neither of his viewers noticed it.

Pobbo©®™   August 16th, 2011 - 1:08 pm

Liberals want Americans to think gays are normal – and then this….

shipley130   August 16th, 2011 - 1:08 pm

People need to start suing MSNBC for their deception. Rachel Madcow has been sued recently. Time for the other pigs at NBC to get their trough taken away.

HURRICANEPAUL   August 16th, 2011 - 1:08 pm

"Special Ed" Schulz…"deceptive"?

Shocking

You see folks…these sorts of blatant lies by the Liberals, as this example clearly shows…has been going on for decades.

But times have changed. Now that we heave the Conservative Internet Bloggers, Conservative Talk-Radio & FOX News…these guys are getting caught red-handed every time they try to fool "we the people".

No matter how hard they try to fool "we the people", our guys…'The Tea Party Conservatives'…are keeping them in check and they don't like that one bit.

Too bad for them.

Stick441   August 16th, 2011 - 1:09 pm

I'll pretend to be surprised.

Diptera   August 16th, 2011 - 1:09 pm

Lies and deception are all they have left at this point. Nobody is better off than they were 3 years ago. The leftist "media" has dropped all pretense of being a news outlet and is now showing what they have been along – just part of the demento-crat political attack machine.

What_what_what   August 16th, 2011 - 1:10 pm

Rick Perry has made a number of questionable statements that sound like pretext for racism. If it quacks like a duck…

NewRiverPatriot   August 16th, 2011 - 1:13 pm

This should be illegal – period. Additionally, Perry or anyone else should have the right to sue.

Grace656   August 16th, 2011 - 1:15 pm

Ed Schultz – who can be surprised by what exits this man and his blown up red face.

PushHereToFlush   August 16th, 2011 - 1:16 pm

Next Schultze will be posting anime as news footage.

Ed Schultz is nothing more than the leftsteam media devolving into the self-extinguishing final stage of moral, ethcial, and intellectual anarchy.

Capt_Knuckles   August 16th, 2011 - 1:17 pm

Big Head Ed… Man, that dude has got a heck of a fat melon sitting on those thin shoulders.

worknmal   August 16th, 2011 - 1:17 pm

Who's gonna fire the turd? All NBC agrees with this type of horsepoop journalism/.

John Galt   August 16th, 2011 - 1:18 pm

Boy, I’m glad that we got Ed Schultz’s imbecilic opinion. Let’s see now, if you are not kissing Obama’s butt, you are a racist. Now, where have I heard that before. Oh yeah, from every, so called, reporter in the lame stream media.

Go Rick Perry, when I hear this kind of lunacy I know you are doing something right.

Subsalior   August 16th, 2011 - 1:18 pm

Oh look ….Al Sharpton has left a comment…..

"There" we much….

DarthShatner   August 16th, 2011 - 1:19 pm

So has our President…

BalkanDeputy   August 16th, 2011 - 1:19 pm

Sorry Libtards your Race Card has reached it's limit and is no longer valid…….I am currently take donations to send Ed a case of those State Fair Deep Fried Butter on a Stick treats.

Jesus Loves Tea   August 16th, 2011 - 1:20 pm

Fire Ed Shultz ………. He contributes nothing of substance to society.

scovellj   August 16th, 2011 - 1:20 pm

Shameful

Syrin23   August 16th, 2011 - 1:21 pm

Sadly, I bet that word taxed your brain into complete inactivity for the rest of the day.

KeepEmHonest12   August 16th, 2011 - 1:21 pm

Schultz is the king of Libtardia

littlemaurice   August 16th, 2011 - 1:21 pm

Ed the red thats over fed!

Subsalior   August 16th, 2011 - 1:22 pm

You mean "So has HIS President"…… Mr. Soetoro is not my President….

madbowler6   August 16th, 2011 - 1:22 pm

Ed Shultz should be fired? need I remind you that the ends always justify the means over at MSDNC?? he probably got high-fived by everyone on his way off set that night.

it is so pathetic how the left goes to the "racism" well over and over again, yet they think it never runs dry. whatever helps them feel like righteous individuals…

Scylding   August 16th, 2011 - 1:22 pm

Now, if he said, "that big black CLOWN that hangs over America, that president," THEN we'd be talking…!

Cowboy Logic   August 16th, 2011 - 1:22 pm

Not only should Ed Schultz be fired, Comcast should shut down MSNBC.

AlexMoline   August 16th, 2011 - 1:23 pm

Most be that time of the month when Shultz is getting his period, hot-flashes, etc… can't think straight before babbling democrat's cool-aid.

timeguardian   August 16th, 2011 - 1:23 pm

When I worked for NBC, it was the same. Whenever a producer stood up, he or she would be moved to another job and replaced with some inexperienced know-it-all. They control the national producers as well as the local producers. And the employees love their jobs more than this country and they will not stand up. There is plenty of manipulation going on all over NBC.

vivlibomuori   August 16th, 2011 - 1:23 pm

BS. you fools tried to paint the teaparty with a racist brush, and when no proof was found, you claim that everything said is "coded racism".

That's liberal for "we have no proof, but we hate your guts, so here come the smears, lies and deception"

eukodol   August 16th, 2011 - 1:23 pm

"A pretext for racism", eh? What did he do, use a couple words that rhyme with the n-word?

PushHereToFlush   August 16th, 2011 - 1:24 pm

It is indeed the racist that reflexively makes a link between "black cloud" and Barack Obama, just like Ed Schultz did.

Justiceman   August 16th, 2011 - 1:25 pm

Who's Ed Shultz and msnbc is a tv station……just asking….never even heard of him or the tv station
is a comedy show….?
is msnbc like saturday night live or second city tv…..?

Talengtp   August 16th, 2011 - 1:25 pm

Yea, once you heavily edit them and lead simple minds like yourselves to a preconceived conclusion. You go ahead and stay on that vote farm though.

PushHereToFlush   August 16th, 2011 - 1:25 pm

If it quacks like a duck, you're seeking out the best orifice for penetration, What_what_what .

BalkanDeputy   August 16th, 2011 - 1:26 pm

Sorry Libtards your Race Card has reached it's limit and is no longer valid…….I am currently take donations to send Ed a case of those State Fair Deep Fried Butter on a Stick treats. so I can watch his heart explode.

BMorgan53   August 16th, 2011 - 1:26 pm

Shultz, I don't know what alternate universe, other than the MSNBC fairyland, but clouds do come in other colors than the pretty white fluffy ones. Have you ever seen a tornado or a funnel cloud?

RedDogLindsay   August 16th, 2011 - 1:27 pm

Actually he is a black HOLE that is hanging over America. HOLE. Remember the Houston city council member that threw down the race card when a white member used that expression regarding the budget? Hilarious.

KevinT633   August 16th, 2011 - 1:28 pm

Schultz is scum,

hispanicman   August 16th, 2011 - 1:28 pm

I suppose there are those that will drink his koolaid but then again they've been drinking it so….move along nothing new here to see.

Chemekata   August 16th, 2011 - 1:28 pm

It doesn't matter if it's proved to be taken out of context, or that statements later get retracted…the important thing for the liberal media to do is get "racist" associated with Perry as frequently as possible – then a year from now they start with the statements of fact that Perry has been accused of being a racist…never mind that they created the accusations to begin with…that won't matter. Alinsky at work

JimMcVeigh   August 16th, 2011 - 1:28 pm

"and when no proof was found"

It isn't the nature of the evidence, it is the seriousness of the charge…….

CrooklynBoy   August 16th, 2011 - 1:32 pm

"There" what?

Whatthehay   August 16th, 2011 - 1:34 pm

OBAMA’S OWN WORDS
2008: “Navy Seal Team 6 is Cheney’s private assassination team.”
2011: “I put together Seal Team 6 to take out Bin Laden.”
2008: “Bin Laden is innocent until proven guilty, and must be captured alive and given a fair trial.”
2011: “I authorized Seal Team 6 to kill Bin Laden.”
2008: “Guantanamo is entirely unnecessary, and the detainees should not be interrogated.”
2011: “Vital intelligence was obtained from Guantanamo detainees that led to our locating Bin Laden.”
If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you’re not a racist, you’ll
have to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.

wohlfguy   August 16th, 2011 - 1:35 pm

Prove it moron. You far-left proglodytes will do anything to destroy an opponent. Typical behavior from the mentally challenged.

TheIkonoklast   August 16th, 2011 - 1:35 pm

Hey, imagine if Perry had used the word "niggardly." Ed would probably have died in his chair from joy, like Ned Devine staring at the winning lottery ticket.

(for you liberals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niggardly )

USSBuford   August 16th, 2011 - 1:35 pm

Democratssuck   August 16th, 2011 - 1:36 pm

This is just the beginning folks. The attacks will be much more vicious each day that ticks away in the African born POTUS term.

spaceracer423   August 16th, 2011 - 1:36 pm

Even without the edit,
it is clear that "the big black cloud" is a reference to the debt.

Perry should sue for slander.

The only issue is proving damages.

How can Ed, with his audience of 15, (7 of whom are houseplants) really do damage?

What_what_what   August 16th, 2011 - 1:37 pm

Well Mr. Obama IS your PRESIDENT because the American Electorate and the Constitution says so.

Chingachkook   August 16th, 2011 - 1:38 pm

Seems to me that if a man sees/hears a racial slur when none is said or intended then that man is a racist… So, I would expect that the NAACP and the ACLU should be filing a suit against Racist Schultz in the near future.

spaceracer423   August 16th, 2011 - 1:39 pm

Audience Member: "Gov Perry, whats for dessert tonight?"

Gov Perry: "I plan to make a chocolate pie."

Ed: "GOV PERRY THREATENS TO BAKE OBAMA INTO A PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

jds4311   August 16th, 2011 - 1:40 pm

whatever – if you see racism in this then you are race bating wanna be fool like al sharpton. how does it feel to live your life looking for racism any and everywhere you go. and when you can't find it you have to make crap up. im sure you think the black hole in outer space is racist to?

IMCONSERVATIVE   August 16th, 2011 - 1:40 pm

Nooooooooooooo! They'd never stoop this low, ah, never mind!

freedomliberty13   August 16th, 2011 - 1:41 pm

Another sign of lib desperation, reminicent of Joseph Goebbels and the Nazi propaganda machine or something from Stalin's Pravda.

Fedup2012   August 16th, 2011 - 1:42 pm

PMSNBC and Obama are the HYPOCRALYPTIC DOUCHEPOCALYPSE that has taken over America and stooped to tactics like this to deceive and distort infomration to paint someone in a false light. Keep talking Ed and America will continue to realize how pathetic and out of touch you and your ilk truly are.

JOURNALISTIC MALPRACTICE in action.

But, hey, in Regressivism and Communism the "ends justify the means":

"The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses" — Vladimir Lenin.

"Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play." — Joseph Goebbels

"It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise." — Joseph Goebbels

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” — Joseph Goebbels.

“I personally encourage the president to establish a White House commission on public media" — Dan Rather

"Fortunately we have help from the media." — Michelle Obama

Rmichael1976   August 16th, 2011 - 1:48 pm

2012 will fix that.

dwwilli2   August 16th, 2011 - 1:49 pm

Should Ed be fired or the producer who writes his copy be fired?

Douche Bag. We are not racist. I would hate Obama if he was all white.

Goodgolden   August 16th, 2011 - 1:51 pm

Well, although Perry does not state it, there is a big, black cloud over all of us that is not the debt. But we will vote this one out in 2012.
