Reflections From a Murky Pond

The three monkeys of the lamestream media: ABC, CBS, and NBC are a far cry from Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru – the three wise monkey’s of the famous sanzaru.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Report No Evil

They’re willful failure to report upon the Benghazi tragedy with any diligence and their refusal to ask Obama anything resembling a tough question about either his regime’s murderous betrayal of our Consulate staff or their ongoing lies about the situation is a cruel mockery of both wisdom and journalism.

Oops! I used “monkey” and “Obama” in the same article. Cue the worthless libtard cries of racism. 😆

They have become no less a regime-owned propaganda corps than the Fars News Agency the mouthpiece of Iran’s Ayatollahs.

It’s fairly safe to assume that, if it regards their boy, Obama, nothing they say, show, or print is the truth in anything close to entirety. All these monkeys are doing is throwing poo and it’s time to either put them back in their cages or put them down as we would any members of an unwanted invasive species.

George Zimmerman, the “White Hispanic” who fatally shot the Black Trayvon Martin seems to be more a construct of the Lamestream Media than a person. At least, the Liberal propaganda outlets have gone to great and unethical lengths to paint a picture of Mr. Zimmerman that doesn’t bear any more resemblance to the objective truth than Mr. Zimmerman does to the stereotypical White.

Worse, they media painted Zimmerman with broad strokes and a limited pallet of colors.

We all know that, in the minds of the Lamestream Media, the color of racism is White. This explains their “mistake” about Zimmerman’s ethnicity and the lengths they went to in order to justify it. It also completely proven now that the colors of truth and ethics aren’t in NBC’s crayon box.

Take for example the “Today” show piece that carefully abridged the conversation between George Zimmerman and a 911 dispatcher in the moments before the shooting of Trayvon Martin:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks Black.

That’s they told America and that’s what most people heard and believed. That George Zimmerman was a bigot and engaged in racial profiling was set in their minds as fact.

Of course it was a pernicious, race-baiting lie. The unexpurgated transcript of Zimmerman’s exchange with the dispatcher shows something quite different, the truth:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.

Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he Black, White or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks Black.

The truth was that Zimmerman was responding to direct question by the dispatcher about the suspect’s race. As such, there is no evidence that he was engaged in racial profiling, especially since all he actually mentioned was Martin’s apparent behavior.

That wouldn’t fit into the picture NBC was trying to paint though, so they “retouched” it as it were, sort of like photoshopping a model or celebrity to erase those unsightly truths.

Profiling v. Portraiture – society and history will have to decide which is worse when it comes to how the Lamestream Media has painted George Zimmerman and, given the silence of the law, what reprisals we, the People must take upon their organizations and personnel.

As most Americans know and Liberals bemoan, Keith Olbermann was suspended without pay indefinitely by NBC on November 5, 2010 for violating NBC News ethics policies. Specifically, he was removed for contributing to the election campaigns of three Democratic candidates this election season.

Silencing Olbermann is a great thing for America but I’m not sure this was the way to do it.

The stated reason for NBC’s suspension of the hyper-Liberal Olbermann was that he directly and willfully violated NBC’s Newsroom Policy when he made those donations with the one to Raul Grijalva being made immediately on the same day that Olbermann hosted Grijalva on his show:

Anyone working for NBC News who takes part in civic or other outside activities may find that these activities jeopardize his or her standing as an impartial journalist because they may create the appearance of a conflict of interest. Such activities may include participation in or contributions to political campaigns or groups that espouse controversial positions. You should report any such potential conflicts in advance to, and obtain prior approval of, the President of NBC News or his designee.

There is no doubt that Keith Olbermann violated NBC’s policy which is based upon the journalistic ethics code called – ironically given the foul and perfidious degeneration of the NY Times – the code of the Grey Lady.

Where doubt, both ethical and logical, arises is in whether or not such standards and policies should be applied to Olbermann.

The ethical question arises from NBC’s policies themselves. Legal or not, is it right to require as terms of continued employment that employees refrain from full participation in the civic process? These employees are private citizens, and there’s an ethical  issue with any employment requirement that impinges upon their freedoms of speech and association.

The logical problem is nothing more than a result of a logical fallacy based upon an utterly false and well-disproven postulate, that Keith Olbermann is a journalist or even an employee of a news agency. MSNBC is not a news agency by a creditable definition of the term and Keith Olbermann doesn’t even attempt to bear any resemblance to journalist.  Applying the code of the Grey Lady to him is patently ridiculous.

So, for what little it’s worth in the grand scheme of things, I’m ambivalent about Olbermann suspension. I’m ecstatic that he’s been, at least temporarily, stopped from further polluting the airwaves with his filth, but I’m not fond of why he was removed.
