1. Are they...
interviewing some youngster who who makes little sense while babbling about Bu$h being a war criminal(I know he is but...)?

The damn MSM is so dysfunctional. They find the most radical airheads and put them on the boob tube to give the impression that we are all about that.

It's called propaganda imagery to let the audience "fill in the blanks" in the direction that the fascist media wants it to. That way the people think that their own logic led them there and their egos are satisfied. This is reflected in the "man on the street" interviews.
They report a certain way and then go out on the street to "see what the average American thinks". The vast majority stare at the camera and repeat the same MSM info they have been fed with only slight variations, if any. Very few come out with real truths that have been thought out.

:mad:

2. They didn't actually
They interviewed a guy with a small child. They played a bit from the speeches. They played the crowd booing as bush drove past.
