And Obama is silent. He’s letting Biden flap in the wind.

I don't think it's any secret those guys were Democrats.. Southern Democrats ruled Congress in the 60's and 70's, Texas alone had a dozen or more House Democrats on the conservative side.. Jake Pickle, George Mahon.. naturally a few of the Dems would be hard-core segregationists.


but the past 35 years has seen a huge shift in Democratic voting patterns and attitudes. same with Republicans, both parties are far more "left" and "right", respectively.. there are no Senator Ed Brooke's and Jacob Javitz's in the Republican field.


which is sort of the larger point. Biden harkens back to an era that hasn't existed for several decades.. that is his reference point. he is hopelessly outdated. even Obama gets that.
And he's their FRONT runner...

Twice in One Week: Second Journo Mislabels as “Republicans” the Democratic Segregationist Senators Biden Praised

New York Times reporter Astead Herndon speaks on CNN – 6/20/19. Screen grab via CNN.

For the second time in two days on national TV, a political journalist incorrectly labeled as “Republicans” the two segregationist Senators Joe Biden praised earlier this week.

In the first instance, it was MSNBC‘s Kasie Hunt during a Wednesday report she did on the controversy:
MSNBC's Kasie Hunt: “Joe Biden references his relationships with two former Republican colleagues at an event in NYC. The only problem? They were both segregationists”

The Senators were identified as James Eastland & Herman Talmadge

They are Democrats

Hunt did not make a correction on the air that day, but posted a tweet later that evening noting the error. She also said she’d correct it the next day on-air, which she did:
A day after falsely labeling two segregationist senators as Republican, MSNBC's Kasie Hunt issues a correction:

"Yesterday, we inaccurately said on the show that Senators James Eastland and Herman Talmadge were Republicans. They were both Democrats. We regret the error." pic.twitter.com/CNngTMmSRy

— Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) June 20, 2019
By that point, however, the damage was done.

The very next day, during a “CNN Newsroom” segment, New York Times political reporter Astead Herndon made the same error (bolded emphasis added):
“Our reporting yesterday was that some of his advisers, and even some of his supporters, were a little shocked with the way he was characterizing his relationships with those senators. And they’ve said, if you want to talk about bipartisanship, why not mention other Republicans — not the kind of the most controversial of them. And we know that the other Democrats are going to try to seize on this to create differences and stand out.”
Watch the segment below:

This is just ridiculous. It does not even take five minutes to Google Sens. James Eastland (MS) & Herman Talmadge (GA) to find out they were both Democrats.

When these things keep happening it’s hard to buy the excuse that it’s just a “mistake.” It’s almost like they want you to be misinformed.

In Hunt’s case, at least, an effort was made to correct the record.

In Herndon’s case, however, CNN did not correct him on-air. And as of this writing, there is not a correction noted on either Herndon’s Twitter feed nor “CNN Newsroom”‘s Twitter feed.

Please tell me again about how the New York Times is committed to “deliver[ing] the highest-quality journalism possible” and how CNN is all about “facts first” because I’m sure as heck not seeing it.

What did you expect? The lamestream media are liars!

Don't even talk to me about Trump's supposed lies. They are only truths you don't want to hear.

The media truly are "the enemy of the people"!!!

Right now Biden's biggest "racism" problem in the DNC is ...

... he's an old White guy!

He just doesn't fit their agenda. You know! AntiTrumpers!
The DNCs agenda is socialism. By any means necessary.

you call the media fakers, but in truth, it's easy to mistake that those 2 Codgers Biden referenced were Republicans. so much has changed since those guys were Members of Congress, you know that.. I told you earlier in this thread. in fact, things changed fast.. Trent Lott, Jesse Helms.. the move from the 70's to the 90's was the Generational move that switched Racist Lawmakers to the Republican side of the aisle.

why not admit that? you guys go back 150 years, and champion Abe Lincoln as your Republican Civil Rights Model, LOL
