MSNBC MORNING JOE REPORTING ON REV. WRIGHT: IS THERE A DOUBLE STANDARD? YES!!!!! by SDrobny Page 1 of 1 page(s) |

|
The choice of Joe Scarborough by MSNBC to host a morning show is an example of political cowardice by Dan Abrams its program director. Other than Keith Olbermann, MSNBCs lineup is decidedly right of center. Scarborough along with lapdogs Willie Geist, and Mika Brzezinski are over the top on the patriotism thing. Rev. Wright's sermons should not be a basis for condemning Obama. Rev. Wright's 1st amendment rights should clearly be protected especially in the context of a sermon. Furthermore, Scarborough has drunk the Republican Kool-aid for so long that his comments are skewed and lack objectivity. Like many other Republican leaders, their comments are based upon hunches and not facts On the other hand, CNN's Situation Room commentator Jack Cafferty stated yesterday that he had experienced fiery sermons by clergy that he did not agree with that in no way would cause him to leave his church. The idea that a black man going to a black church should be responsible for some of his pastor's sermons provides a double standard to an African American candidate. It is a sorry comment on the white dominated media. Because of Keith Olbermann I have made MSNBC my cable news channel of choice If things do not change, I am going to move elsewhere.

NO
Have you been a 20 year member an all white church that preaches hatred toward another race? If you have you belong to the closet KKK church. When a person has remained a member of a group like the KKK for 20 years it should be looked at very closely by other whites, blacks, Jews, Asians, Hispanics, Indians, etc… AND THE MEDIA. I see no double standard. by Gallaher (2 articles, 0 quicklinks, 4 diaries, 990 comments [34 recommended, 1 rejected]) on Wednesday, Mar 19, 2008 at 5:03:23 AM  (0+)

Reply: Warped Sense of Patriotism
First of all, Rev. Wright's comments were taken out of context and it was not hate speech, it was an anti-war speech. Of course, unless you are one of those republicans that think any comments that they do not agree with are hate speech. And furthermore, he was right. It IS this country's policies that brought on our enemies, and still is. That is not un-American it is the truth. And the truth is the real patriotism, to speak up when your country is WRONG. by Judy Ramsey (4 articles, 0 quicklinks, 2 diaries, 93 comments [3 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Wednesday, Mar 19, 2008 at 1:32:53 PM (0+)

media double standard...NO!!!
it is the epitomy of stupidity to think there are no double standards in mainstream media. Whether it be MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS or Faux Noise, they all are replete with double standards and hypocracy. After the blackballing of Congressman Ron Paul over the past few years, I have all but given up on MSM for any credible information. BTW, Olberman isthe reason I stopped watching ESPN and MSMBC..he'sa totally prick ..IMHO. by Thom Daniels (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 6 comments) on Wednesday, Mar 19, 2008 at 12:57:45 PM (0+)

What an immature perspective
No one says that Obama is responsible for what Wright has said; he IS responsible for his own behavior - namely never publicly protesting what his pastor was saying even though it was totally counter to what Obama supposedly believes in. There is nothing especially right wing about MSNBC; my god they just junked Tucker Carlson's show and Chirs Matthews is extremely leftist.... by Joel S.
