MSNBC: "This video may be disturbing..."
WTF? They're quite clever...they segue from Michael Vick's bankruptcy proceedings to video of some miscreant abusing a puppy and they tell you that they're not going to show you the REALLY disturbing video of this event.

"Don't watch this train wreck" should be the motto...to what end does showing animal or human abuse promote its abolition or prosecution? Note that it's almost always the same anchor-babes who get to present this stuff which is often followed by comments from them such as, "What kind of person can DO this to an innocent little puppy...just look into their eyes..."

Note that these women never ever say this about civilians mutilated or killed in this 'most-moral' war we're involved in, nor do they care about the horrific 'modern' Holocausts which have occurred in Darfur, Cambodia, and the like. No such angst there...it's reported, if at all, in very even tones. No outrage.

this is the MSM's way of pretending that they're humanistic and paternal/maternal and caring. I call BS on that...
