QOTD: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned." --Article IV of the 14th Amendment
Today's negative link--The Worst Link in the World--is dishonorably awarded to:
ReplyDeleteMeet the Press
You'll see a big picture of Colin Powell bashing Republicans (again). There is a "Press Pass Blog," but it receives today's award for what is NOT there.
David Gregory violated the Washington, DC law for bringing a gun magazine on his show. Further, he KNOWINGLY violated the law--NBC asked local law enforcement if it was OK, they said no, and NBC did it anyway.
As the Washington Times has pointed out, normal people go to jail for unknowingly doing the sme thing. The Washington DC Attorney General--a friend of the Gregory family--noted that there was a violation of the law and no intent was required, but Gregory wouldn't be prosecuted because he's special and he violated the law for a special purpose (MSM propaganda).
"Meet the Press" has decided that you don't need to know about this incident and it's down the memory hole. MSNBC's hard-hitting, investigative Rachel Maddow didn't report it, MCNBC's star journalist Al Sharpton didn't report it, so, hey, no big deal.
Can you imagine if a Fox News personality did this? Don't you think that person would go to jail and that the story would be all over NBC and MSNBC?
The slogan "If it's Sunday, it's Meet the Press" should be replaced with "If it's a liberal elite media personality, the law doesn't apply."
Mark Levin often tells his listeners not to waste time watching to the Sunday shows.
For outstanding disrespect of the law and the few people who watch this show, "Meet the Press" is today's "Worst Link in the World."
