I agree you're being a hypocrite (what exactly is the connection between this tv station and Andrew Breitbart?).

Anyway, please provide an example of me doing what you've accused me of. TIA.

Perfectly.

No wonder you think the Koran promotes violence - you don't even know what your own bible says.
I think we already knew that:

When asked, "What are you going to do when you get older?" the boy responds: “I’m going to have me a gun!”


End of video..........

Shocking!! Scary!! The sort of thing that simply proves the point of certain posters here and around the world.

Except - they didn't show the full interview.

In the full interview the reporter asks the boy "You are! Why do you want to do that?”

And the little boy replies:

“I'm going to be the police!”

WBBM Distorts Child Interview: Chicago CBS Outlet's Misleading Editing Of Kid's Remarks (VIDEO)

So go ahead - tell me how the video was cut because of time constraints, because his explanation was irrelevant, because it didn't add anything to the story, because it made no difference or whatever other justification you can come up with.

I say it was deliberate and it is part of a sickness which fills a pandering media and the hearts of far too many viewers who only want to imagine the bad, see the bad, hear the bad and propagate the bad - and if it's not happening they're only too happy to manufacture it.

And it's disgusting.
hmm i want to say unethical but not racist

i've seen media do this before to people of all race, to create sensationalism

Harry doesn't break the rules this post is more of a rule breaker than anything Harry posts.


He doesn't refer to other posters in a disparaging way as youdo in your post.

He attacks libs generically which is fine just as Patters attacks conservatives generically.

There is a difference, I hope you can see this.

wow, really? Anything i post in response to Harry is tongue in cheek...other than that, i dont think i have refered to other posters in a dispararging way. If i had and somehow broke the rules of this forum, i am sure i would have been PMd.

I am confused by your claim.

I'm guessing many, if not most, boys associate police with uniforms and guns.

When I was a kid we always played with toy or imaginary guns. It's part of being a boy, isn't it? I don't think you can draw any conclusions about this particular boy based on that brief "interview."

Mrs, to answer your question, I have no reason to think it was racist, but horrible journalism and unethical, yes.
That post kind of rocked me too. Soooooooooooo, I guess the police should send the rejection letter to a 4 year old who wants to be a police officer because he wants a gun. Got it!
