Al Sharpton Versus The Teleprompter: Volume 1
Al Sharpton Versus The Teleprompter: Volume 1
BY: David Rutz
May 7, 2014 5:00 am
Behold the greatest battle in television news.
It’s not CrossFire or Meet the Press or reruns of Point/CounterPoint.
It’s the Rev. Al Sharpton’s war with the teleprompter and, to a greater extent, the English language.
Behold as he bungles names (who’s Rush Lumbard?), places (Latvia becomes Lavita), book titles (“Hubris” is read as Hue-Brees), organizations (The Environmental Projection Agency?) and more in this new SuperCut.
The Washington Free Beacon has gone to great pains to give the public a greater understanding of this MSNBC host, who has been bellowing on PoliticsNation since 2011.
He rarely knows what anybody’s talking about. He’s so fond of President Obama he simply rehashes him word-for-word for his audiences. He really likes talking about race. And he pronounces his “P’s” with particular pugnaciousness.
Through it all, he’s won the respect, nay the fear, of his cable news rivals.

MSNBC is constantly apologizing for outrageous behavior
BY: Andrew Stiles // May 6, 2014 4:37 pm
Poorly rated cable network MSNBC has issued yet another apology for offensive behavior after its Way Too Early staff “celebrated” Cinco de Mayo by wearing sombreros, shaking maracas, and drinking tequila on air.
This has become something of a tradition for the struggling left-wing “news” network. Here’s a (partial) list of outrageous things MSNBC hosts have had to apologize for:
1. Making fun of Mitt Romney’s adopted black grandchild
video at link below
Melissa Harris-Perry, who has been described as “America’s most foremost public intellectual,” apologized to the Romney family “without reservation or qualification” for exercising “poor judgement.” Romney graciously accepted.
2. Endorsing urinating/defecating into Sarah Palin’s mouth
Martin Bashir, who was ultimately forced to resign from the network, issued an “unreserved” apology for his “wholly unacceptable” remarks.
3. Celebrating a hurricane that killed almost 300 people because it helped Obama get reelected
video at link below
In 2012, Chris Matthews had to apologize for saying he was “so glad we had that storm,” in reference to Hurricane Sandy, which had struck the east coast the previous week, killing nearly 300 people and inflicting billions of dollars in damage. The storm had “brought in possibilities for good politics,” Matthews said, by helping Obama get reelected. He later said “it was a terrible thing to say,” and suggested that he had misspoken due to exhaustion.
4. Calling Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut”

Ed Schultz was suspended after he called conservative radio host Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut” on his radio program. He issued a 4-minute apology on MSNBC for using “vile and inappropriate language.”
5. Calling Scott Brown “an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, tea-bagging supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees.”
video at link below
Erstwhile MSNBC outragemonger Keith Olbermann attacked then-Senate candidate Scott Brown (R., Mass.) for being “an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees.” Olbermann later “apologized” for leaving out the word “sexist.”

Lean forward.
UPDATE: @JudeClemente reminds me of the time Chris Hayes said he was “uncomfortable” using the word “heroes” to describe American soldiers killed in combat. Doing so, Hayes argued, was “rhetorically proximate” to warmongering.
video at link below
Hayes later said he was “deeply sorry” for failing to live up to his own “standards of rigor, respect and empathy for those affected by the issues we discuss.”
