Something I saw during Scarborough,Your thoughts..

[undergroundpanther]

It happened right before I cut the bully ass wipe off,I was there for KO,and after KO,while I was just about to bawl over what he said,I went to get some water,and a snack and destress..by time I got back to the TV and grabbed the remote ,On screen it was a 4 way split,discussion Buchanan in one window scar ass in another some lady and some dude..,That's when I saw it..


It was fast, totally out of context,A quick small rectangular flash frame it had a small stadium pic on it,a green edge on bottom and top a white background and black letters and it said NFL Terror attack Sunday.As if it was gonna happen,like it was an AD for a terror attack,like MUST SEE TV or something..Like it was a forgone conclusion, It was just a small square graphic on the screen for a second and it was OUT OF CONTEXT totally..weird.They were NOT talking about the stadium threat at all, they were talking about Clinton's comeback and Bush's campaigning in the dead of night and 19% stuff.. It was like a subliminal.weird..Well lets see if something occurs on Sunday as advertised..are they already getting the graphics ready and testing it for the big October"surprise"? WTF?

1. i was watching the show too, and i don't remember seeing this

but then again, my memory SUCKS--especially when i'm not giving something my entire attention

[undergroundpanther]

4. It was fast

You'd miss it if you were not there at that moment.
I just happened to be there at the right moment.
And I see subliminals whether I want to or not.You'd be suprised how much they are used.

[orleans]

25. i thought they were banned years ago

(remember the falling popcorn frames they used to splice into movies and there would be a mad rush for the candy counter? it's illegal now)

2. THIS WAS ON A CBS AFFILIATE...

3. Well was it

Subliminal warning or graphic anticipation?

[flyarm]

12. SORRY I DIDN'T SEE SCARBORUGH...SOMEONE SENT ME

[undergroundpanther]

6. but why would they word it like that?

Terror attack sunday..Nothing more..

Than go pouf.

[Eric J in MN]

5. They were advertising an upcoming segment. NT

NT

[undergroundpanther]

8. but the wording?

Advertizers choose very carefully how things are worded and presented..
Why that way?

[Eric J in MN]

24. If you're asking if the "Scarborough" producers have a conservative bias,

...I'd say yes.

[janx]

9. YES.

There was an entire segment on it in which they said that Homeland Security had issued a warning about terror attacks in seven football stadiums across the U.S.

It was a full segment, as if this information were thoroughly credible.

[undergroundpanther]

13. Feigning credible is one thing

But it was worded like it had been scheduled already,like someone looked at a calender and said Ooh Terror attack Sunday..

[janx]

14. Of course!

That's how they get people to watch. Pathetic, no?

[undergroundpanther]

18. I ain't watching it.

I'm just noticing it makes no sense.

[flyarm]

16. NY news saying homeland security not taking it seriously,,just on

NY news after playoff game!!

saying numerous times ... homeland security not taking it seriously..they said it came off a chat room on the internet!

7. Ohhhh...so the DHS in now going to push the internet terror meme.

I must say, the BFEE wastes no time in using their new fascist powers! See you guys in Gitmo.

[undergroundpanther]

10. Huh?

They pushing another one now?

[Rex]

17. It goes right along with their new powers (MCA and the NSA bills)

this would make it very easy to blame whoever you want to on the Internet, like anyone from this site. Then just swoop in and take em away as 'illegal combatants'. The DHS and the FBI are really pushing for this. Remember, the FBI works for Cheney.

[undergroundpanther]

20. Ugh.

Fuck these thugs.Just cooking up a rationale,MIHOP all over again..
This time they are advertising the crime in advance,how crass.

[Poiuyt]

11. Relax. Someone in the control booth hit the wrong button

As Eric said, they were getting ready for an upcoming segment on potential terror attacks at NFL games.

[undergroundpanther]

15. HS isn't taking it seriously..

Yed it's being advertized like a forgone conclusiuon, that's what bothers me about it,why hype a non threat? It just seems weird.
As for wrong botton ideas, everything you see on TV now is pre screened like 5 minutes ahead of time before it goes out to the public ,even "live" feeds, ok, it cannot be a mistake.

[janx]

19. It is weird. It's terrible.

We had the article today about how the FBI and HS weren't taking it seriously, and then MSNBC advertises it as being perfectly credible. In the segment, they discuss things like backpack searches, etc. I don't remember any other specifics because I was grading papers at the time, but I looked up long enough to realize that they were perfectly serious about it.

[undergroundpanther]

21. That's what I mean

Dual messages,Gaslighting the public..Setting up the cognitive dissonance..but for WHAT?

[janx]

22. Ratings. n/t

[undergroundpanther]

23. I'm not so sure

Because the pattern is diferent.
Year they did terror alert bullshit before, but this one is different than the others.It's subtle in the way it's worded and presented.Way more manipulative.
