Desperate, NBC Fabricates Racial “Fallout” Story

Written by PeacockWatch on September 16, 2009.

Following up on last night’s weak attempt to shore up Immelt’s newly devised racial mantra by using the rantings of Jimmy Carter, tonight NBC led with a story on the so called national fallout of Carter’s charges that a large part of the intense animosity directed at President Obama is because he is a black man.

Tonight, Andrea Mitchell lamented that most people thought racial divisions had been healed as a result of President Obama’s election, but Carter’s blunt comments and the tea party activists have now forced a re-examination of our racial assumptions.

Of course,  according to Mitchell, Joe Wilson’s outburst of “You lie!” at the president’s address to the joint session is one of the indications that rampant racism is rolling across the country.

Let’s get real.  Is NBC trying drum up viewership to pump up their miserable Neilson ratings.  NBC is hoping Racisim will become a national battle cry and their grounded ship will miraculously be caught up in a tide of synthetic outrage and finally sail again.

Brian Williams may as well wish for a magic unicorn.  It ain’t going to happen.

Racism is Alive and Well at NBC News

NBC News, Brian Williams, Tuesday, 9-15-2009

Brian Williams synchronized himself nicely with the other NBC organizations when he picked up the party mantra in an attempt to label conservative activists as racists. Other liberal voices and organizations have recently begun to inject racism into any issue where Obama faces opposition or disssent.

On last night’s broadcast, Williams said, “last weekend’s big tea party march in Washington and at other recent events have featured racial and other violent themes and President Carter today said he is extremely worried by it.”

In the exclusive NBC interview, Jimmy Carter said “An overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African-American” and “that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It’s an abominable circumstance and grieves me and concerns me very deeply.”
