Wrong. They didn't "doctor" anything. They used stock footage to make it look bigger.
All these damn news channels do that all the time (even local news). It's disgusting.
But it's a GIANT step forward to actually edit video and audio to create a story. Fox wasn't creating that rally. They exaggerated it with stock footage (just like the news organizations shot at a certain angles to make the "Million Man March" look a lot bigger than it was...and just like I shoot certain angles to make Claudia Marie's tits look even bigger lol)
But MSNBC took a press conference and CREATED a controversy that didn't exist.
And when you realize that ALL the news organizations are shaping thought amongst people who don't really pay close attention...then you start to realize what's being done in our country.
All this talk on the news channels about how "Americans want our politicians to come together and move forward" (as long as "forward" is what Pres. Obama wants at any given moment).
And at the same time, those news channels are trying their best to influence events and shape people's opinions so that they can then run a poll and show favorable stats for what the President wants to do.
They did it with Bush too.
I was shocked when every news channel out there kissed Bush's ass so they could get "embedded" with the troops invading Afghanistan and Iraq!
No more critical coverage of war like it USED to be done during Vietnam.
The press is nothing more than a pack of puppy dogs to the Presidency. They are all worried about being in the "inner circle" and getting that invitation to the big Press Dinner every year.
So they toe the line of whatever the President says.
