CNN just played the same doctored excerpt from Hoffa's speech.

[potone]

They must have gotten it from Fox. They then said that his statements were denounced as a call to violence. I don't expect much from CNN, but I did expect them to at least show the entire two sentences.

19. I am sure that CNN has broadcast a correction and .....

... apology by now. :sarcasm: :rofl:

[FrenchieCat]

15. Thanks!

I wrote....

Please stop with the edited outtakes borrowed from NewsCorp's Fox News.
You are now showing yourselves not to be a real new station, and I, for one, won't have it.
You are helping create the illusion that Labor is inciting violence,
when that is what Fox and now CNN is doing. Why is CNN doing this?
What is in it for your Corporation?
JUST STOP IT, and retract this story, and apologize!
Thank you,

20. You think I should tell them Eric Cantor is *not* the House Majority Leader?

Swear to God, some talking head said that this morning.

6. CNN = Fox Lite (Medium?) n/t

[SpiralHawk]

8. Wow - CNN is also deliberately lying

even after their corrupt republicon cronies at Fox have been called on it.

Baldfaced Republicon lying from CNN.

Americans will not forget.

9. Connecting Some Dots

I'm showing my age here but this sure sounds like more union busting and fear mongering courtesy the corporate media. Equating James Hoffa (who I've heard regularly refered to as Jimmy...his father's name) with violence is trying to conjur the negative images of the teamsters from the 60s and 70s, including its connections to the syndicate. While those under 50 may not remember these days, older folks do...

10. Can we please wake up ... the media wants a close election!!!!

That's why the play only "Obama BAD" interviews.

They bring on a GOP nut to explain why Obama is bad.

Then, they bring on a disgruntled left wing pundit to explain why Obama is bad.

So what if the reasons given are totally opposite.

And then, when a right winger says something violent ... "both sides do it".

And then when a Union guy says something similar ... "Unions are thugs!!!"

And all the hate an anger on DU towards Obama, and on other web sites, plays right into this.

11. Corporate nooze is, for the most part, a steaming pile of shit. eom

[lpbk2713]

12. Don't tell me. Let me guess.

Was it Candy Crowley that delivered this piece?

[Rex]

14. Done.

Not that it makes any difference.

"Your organization left out part of Hoffa's speech to make it seem like he was calling for violence. I expect this out of Foxnews, but this is a new low for CNN and I will be contacting the FBI since CNN is trying to incite violence against the USA.

You all should be ashamed to call yourselves a news organization. Nothing but a GOP outlet. I hope one day they make it illegal for 'news' organizations to play social engineering with America.

You will be reported to the authorities for trying to start violence with your editted outtake."

16. Damn, they're
