Dateline tries its hardest to create news...but still doesn't succeed.

Entrapment Journalism?

NBC's "Dateline" is defending its reporting methods after being accused of recruiting Muslim men to entrap NASCAR fans into harassing them on tape. NASCAR called the move to fit some Muslims attending a race with hidden cameras, "outrageous," and blasted NBC for "going out to create news instead of reporting news." But NBC says its reporting is fair, calling its techniques "nothing new."

A NASCAR spokesman says NBC's Muslim recruits showed up at a race in Virginia last weekend, but in spite of their efforts, he says, there were no instances of discrimination.

No doubt.

I had to work at work today, so I'm catching up on what I missed.

NBC "dateline"...isn't that the people who placed timed (or was it radio controlled?) incendiary devices in the saddle tanks of GM pickemups in order to prove the tanks could "explode"????

succeed.

Let me try to understand this from a democrat's perspective--this is proof that white Christian republicans are more evil than innocent Muslims whose religion is a religion of peace. This display of passive aggressive hostility towards Muslims is exactly why the Muslims and the rest of the world hates us. It is Bush's fault that this intolerance exists and therefore we must impeach.

oh snap . . .how can you think that they would be so political?

I'm sure they are also trying to recruite (just to balance things out) Rebublicans to go a "peace thru womens rights rally" (or some such ritghtous liberal crap). . .carrying a sign that reads "make me a sandwich, woman"

Interesting perversion of MLK Jr.'s "keep hope alive" statement; it has become "keep racism alive."

I'm over it, it seems like nonstop "racism is a problem...it still exists...racism is institutional...reparations...slavery...white Christian male dominated society...rich white man...RACIST!!!...we aren't responsible for our actions, it is whitey's fault...YOU ARE A RACIST!!!...affirmative action...all black criminals are victims...blah blah blah...AHHHHH SHUDDDUP!!!"....And guess whose fault it has been, since I was a child?...Mine, for the color of my freakin' skin...It has been my fault!!!???...I am over it.

Why does everyone try SO hard to show us dumb whiteys as racists? There are plenty of places Dateline could take white people and they would suffer racism. It's not just a white people don't like XY or Z. There are plenty of non-white folks that don't like whites or even other non-whites.

If they reported on THAT, it would be eye opening, I'm sure.

The perpetuation of this nonsense serves to keep us divided against each other.
