MSNBC - The Bottom Feeders of "Journalism"

One reason why CNN has lost its place and typical of much of today's so-called journalism.

August 31, 2010
CNN's Ali Velshi looks at the history of Iraq and explains some little known facts about the country.Did you know the Ottoman Empire was ally to the Axis Powers during WWII?

Notice where Velshi places Iraq when he says “Illinois”.

Velshi isn't intentionally distorting history, but it's hard to imagine why he, or any of the chattering class, would not be better prepared to give such a lecture on national TV.

UPDATE: Al Sharpton, on his show tonight, gave his seal of approval for MSNBC to apologize. Sharpton says he believes Romney deserved the apology because he has also been a "victim" of half-truths.

Well Al "approved" an apology! It was only a half-truth not a full-truth.
