Idiots at MSNBC - Nice verification work

From Newsbusters:

MSNBC Gets Duped By Parody Website, Uses Satirical Al Sharpton Quote

By Noel Sheppard August 24, 2007 - 11:22 ET


On Thursday, Alex Johnson wrote an article about beleaguered quarterback Michael Vick published at MSNBC.com.

In it, he quoted Rev. Al Sharpton as basically saying that the whole issue was being over-hyped due to racism stating, "If the police caught Brett Favre (a white quarterback for the Green Bay Packers) running a dolphin-fighting ring out of his pool, where dolphins with spears attached to their foreheads fought each other," Favre wouldn't get arrested.

Problem is that quote came from a parody website called News Groper.

Here's the entire hysterical quote reported at National Review's Media blog Friday which has subsequently been removed from the MSNBC.com story

Yet People still watch and listen to these objective journalists who read from their telepromters and continue to slant the news towards their own agendas.
