After Fox edited out applause following Lowery's remarks at King funeral, Kondracke expressed surprise at audience's muted reaction

Media Matters is on the case:

Somehow, this doesn't surprise me at all.

1. CNN did the same thing...

When Miles O'Brien was questioning the "appropriateness" of the comments made at the funeral, he would play the clip of Lowery until it came to the long, boisterous, standing ovation. The applause was clipped to less than a second, then Lowery finished his comment.

1984 folks, just a few years late. :grr:

3. Of course they did. So can we please stop debating the content

of the celebration and just, celebrate that life?

Because that is what they really want to stop. :)

4. manipulation of the masses, amazing!

5. That's nothing compared to what I'm gonna do last weeks SOTU...

Can you say crickets?

As I go though the footage, it's amazing to see how many Republicans are barely clapping, and how few "standing ovations" he actually got.

But Editing out 20 to 30 seconds of applause is standard operating procedure for most "news" channels, but especially for Fox.

6. Three threads for US that celebrated two important lives here:

7. Even in death they piss on her grave. Only in America

I bet people in office today are happy that they don't have to deal with people like Coretta and Martin because they would've been two fighters who had a damn good chance of derailing their designs on the country. Bobby and John probably would've been fighters, too.

8. From Jan. thru Mar. 2003, in run up to attacking Iraq..300 pro-war pundits

on CNN/CBS/FOX/NBC/NPR, while only 3 (THREE) anti-war activist pundits were given air time!!!
You can't beat that for Fascist Propaganda from the "BEDWETTER" Oh save us from the terrorists crowd. How's your Haliburton stock doing, Joe 6-pack...you say you couldn't afford to play the market, well Dick Cheney's stock DOUBLED in 2005. DOUBLED! persevere

10. 'See? Nobody else is upset about the WMD lies! You're alone!'

That's the myth they need to feed.
