MSNBC cut every minority speaker from the GOP Convention!?!

Contrary to popular belief I am not one who has super glued the TV channel selector to FOX NEWS so while watching the Republican Convention yesterday I tended to skip channels, mostly watching CNN and PBS for their coverage but hitting all the so-called news networks in the process. When a commercial or a talking head would come on I would swap channels.

So watching MSNBC I cut away when Rachael Maddow showed up and what did I find but a minority speaker on all the other networks. End of minority's speech and MSNBC would then cover the next speaker? Hmmm.

Seemed fishy.

Then I found this story this morning:
MSNBC cuts every speech made by a minority from RNC speech coverage
By Francesca Chambers /// August 28, 2012

MSNBC wants you to think the Republican Party hates minorities. So much so that the liberal news network cut minority speeches from it’s convention coverage.

When popular Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, the GOP nominee for Senate, took the stage, MSNBC cut away from the Republican National Convention and the Hispanic Republican from Texas’ speech.

MSNBC stayed on commercial through former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis’ speech, as well. Davis, who recently became a Republican, is black.

Then, when Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuno’s wife Luce’ Vela Fortuño took the stage minutes later, MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews opted to talk over the First Lady’s speech.

And Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval? Noticeably missing from MSNBC, too.

Mia Love, a black candidate for Congress in Utah, was also ignored by MSNBC.

Will MSNBC conveniently manage not to show Governor Luis Fortuno’s speech tomorrow (Wednesday night) as well?

Former Secretary of State and prominent black conservative Condoleezza Rice is also slated to speak at tomorrow night’s convention.

So blatantly obvious, particularly the exclusion of Arthur Davis, the disillusioned black Democrat convert. Gotta' keep hold of that 100% black Democrat following. Can you imagine?

But MSNBC made up for it, tho, with non-stop race baiting from the honorable Reverend Al Sharpton. The astute commentary from Rachael Maddow concerning Republican homophobia was not nearly as persuasive as Sharpton's ability to connect the dots to Republican racism.

I miss Kieth Olbermann. There. I said it.

But now that I mention it, didn't Kieth get sanctioned by MSNBC for being too politically aligned and ideologically biased during the 2008 elections? How we have sunken to new lows, with the alphabet networks leading the decline.

My bet is they show Condy Rice as she is very well known and much more likely to have a less inflammatory message. Token diversity at it's finest for all to see. Davis gave a very good presentation of how the luster has disappeared from the shiny promises of 2008.
 
Move along folks. Nothing to be seen here. This is business as usual at MSLSD. I guess it is safe to assume that Crissy Matthews din't get all tingly legs. He'll save that for later.
 
I noticed also that MSNBC did not show virtualy any minorities inthe crowd on the floor.

Since I too was channel surfing it could have been just the happenstance of my unscientific research sampling method.

Or

Perhaps the GOP assigned them a camera position that had none in view.

Surely it was not intentional.:whistling:
 
OOPS. . . looks like corporate parent NBC is posting the speeches from yesterday. But only speeches made by "whitey" . . .

OH, and here is an interesting headline from the LA TIMES:

Republican National Convention puts a brown face on a white party​

Interesting that the LA TIMES proclaims the number and prominence of the minorities but MSNBC and NBC both seem to show it as a white's only country club.

It is difficult to keep a story straight when it is a fabrication.

The left has only one way to explain it,

Denial!
 
NBC actually lifted their ban and covered Condi Rice.

But did anyone see ABC news short shift Condi Rice? They chose tropical storm Isaac coverage instead of the beginning of Secretary of State Rice's speech. And they cut away after 90 seconds to bash George Bush. This is ABC News and their comprehensive coverage of the GOP Convention. WTF? Are they so scared of a strong black female that they have to protect Obama by keeping her off the air?

They showed Susana Martinez too!
 
It was ABC’s turn to ban black women speakers. ABC news gave the short shift Condi Rice They chose tropical storm Isaac coverage instead of the beginning of Secretary of State Rice’s speech. And they cut away after 90 seconds to bash George Bush. This is ABC News and their comprehensive coverage of the GOP Convention. WTF? Are they so scared of a strong black female that they have to protect Obama by keeping her off the air?

ABC News also kept the Hispanic women in the closet, instead of covering Suzanna Martinez of New Mexico’s speech, they instead had John McCain on for an interview.

Oh, and did you catch the 4 white guys on Politico who lectured us about how the RNC lacks racial diversity? Huh?!?
 
Talking heads at PMSDNC have tons of air time with minimal commercial breaks. Am I correct in surmising that their advertisers are fewer than the ad intensive Fox network?
