MSNBC cuts every speech made by a minority from RNC speech coverage
2012-08-29
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.
Neither of their viewers noticed...
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.
His speech was a first-class stemwinder, too. He'll go far if he wants to.
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.
As the Instapundit notes, it's almost as if the MSM is air-brushing black people out of the news...
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.

#9  Since the MSM gave up being a free press, their credentials should be jerked and they should be relegated to hawking used cars or selling p0rn. Oh, wait a minute they are selling p0rn. They don't really serve any useful purpose. I suppose they will eventually go away as people realize what a sham they are.

#8  None of these speaker provided any leg tingle for Mathews. It's the only explanation I have been able to come up with.

(Sorry, had to say it before someone else did, just to get that out of the way)

What ever happened to "not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" ?

#4  I think Thomas Jefferson would completely agree with you g(r)om.

I also think that concern goes all the way back to when the technology of the printing press and the ability to manufacture them affordably.

*Your founding fathers worried about Government-controlled press---the possibility of the vice versa never occured to them.
