MSNBC Admits Wright Soundbytes Misrepresents His Message, Then Do It Anyway

HuffingtonPost.com   |  Jason Linkins   |   April 28, 2008 09:56 AM


This morning on MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski of Morning Joe made one of the first good points the media has made in covering Chicago pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright: that Wright's comments, when put into soundbytes, "put out political implications" for Senator...

Learn From History or Repeat It

R.T. Eby | Posted April 28, 2008 | Off The Bus


R.T. Eby

Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to endlessly repeat it.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and by extension its satellites; state committees, 527s and fat cat related interest groups which serve as tentacles for a multi-pronged strike; are doing a fine job at laying out multiple...

Did You Hear What John McCain's Unrepentant Friend, Who He Sought Support From, Said?

Steve Young | Posted April 28, 2008 | Politics


Steve Young

Last month, replicating what's been tossed incessantly across the media, MSNBC political analyst Steve Adubato wrote about Jeremiah Wright's comments and Barack Obama's reaction to them.

"...it's not simply about race, but about judgment and the courage to stand up and confront a longtime friend and supporter who is...

McCain and the Jesus Thieves

Robert S. McElvaine | Posted April 27, 2008 | Politics


Robert S. McElvaine

While the media and Sen. Hillary Clinton continue to trash Rev. Jeremiah Wright, John McCain's consorting with a flock of Jesus Thieves -- the people I describe in detail in my new book, Grand Theft Jesus: The Hijacking of Religion in America -- receives scant attention.

On Friday...

No Place for Religion: On Jeremiah Wright and Our Culture of Disbelief

Jeffrey Robbins | Posted April 27, 2008 | Politics


Jeffrey Robbins

With the Bill Moyers interview, Jeremiah Wright is back in the news. And with the exit polling showing that Barack Obama's race was a factor for one out of six voters in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary, there is no doubt that Obama's association with Wright is a significant political liability....

The Mea Culpas Didn't Come

Dave Winer | Posted April 27, 2008 | Politics


Dave Winer

At best the mainstream media got the Wright story wrong, at best it was a mistake.

But if it were a mistake, there would have been some mea culpas today, after seeing the Wright interview, someone would have said they got it wrong, maybe even apologized for contributing to...

McCain Blames Obama For Rev. Wright Issue

Politico   |  Ben Smith   |   April 27, 2008 05:56 PM


Here's a new angle from McCain, at an avail today, at which he said, more or less, that he didn't plan to attack Obama on Wright, but that Obama -- by calling the question "legitimate" -- had legitimized it. It's...

Inspiration Versus Degradation

Erica Jong | Posted April 27, 2008 | Politics


Erica Jong

Sometimes our degraded press prefers the prediction to the event itself. I'm talking about Jeremiah Wright's interview with Bill Moyers. It aired last Friday night and to my mind was one of Bill's best interviews. Rev. Wright was talking to someone in his own metier. Moyers is also ordained,...

Jeremiah Wright and Psalm 137

Tom Baer | Posted April 26, 2008 | Politics


Tom Baer

Bill Moyers' Friday interview with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. was an enlightening hour that demonstrated both the noncontextual nature of at least one of the condemned video clips and that Rev. Wright does not understand the nature of the terrorist threat posed by al Qaeda.

A disquisition of a Wright...

Why Is It So Quiet After the Moyers-Wright Interview?

Dave Winer | Posted April 26, 2008 | Media


Dave Winer

I expected a roaring debate in the political blogosphere this morning, and on cable news after the Friday night Bill Moyers interview with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Instead, there's eerie quiet.

The most I could find was this post on Protein Wisdom saying that Moyers didn't play hardball...

The Education of Jeremiah Wright

Earl Ofari Hutchinson | Posted April 26, 2008 | Politics


Earl Ofari Hutchinson

The much discussed, much defended, and much reviled pastor Jeremiah Wright can't be blamed for his gross naiveté on politics. After all, he's a preacher, and as he told Bill Moyers in an interview on PBS that he only talks "about the things of God." That's the way it should...

The Perfect Storm? Obama, McCain, the Media and God

Linda Hansen | Posted April 25, 2008 | Off The Bus


Linda Hansen

Who's struggling to weather a raging religious rhetorical storm and who's not?

Barack Obama takes a public beating because his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, preaches hateful messages from the pulpit. Wright dares to criticize his country in angry terms and drags God into it. Obama, pols and pundits hollered, should...

The Undeniable Virtue of Jeremiah Wright's Pro-Blackness (and the Problem with Pro-Whiteness)

John Ridley

Bill Moyers is broadcasting a siddown with Barack Obama's "controversial" pastor Jeremiah Wright this Friday evening, April 25th. By Saturday expect every utterance Pastor Wright makes to be as picked over as an episode of Lost at the San Diego Comicon.

Now, I'm not going to even try to...

Cops' Acquittal in Sean Bell Verdict Complicates Things for Obama

Roberto Lovato | Posted April 25, 2008 | Politics


Roberto Lovato

Today's acquittal of the 3 police officers accused of killing Sean Bell in November of 2006 will complicate Barack Obama's efforts to win the presidency in November 2008. His candidacy already mired in the racial machinations of his opponents, Hillary Clinton and John McCain, Obama will find himself having...

Defining Obama

Dylan Loewe | Posted April 25, 2008 | Politics


Dylan Loewe

Despite having all but secured the Democratic nomination, the last few weeks have not been particularly good for Barack Obama. As Hillary Clinton's desperation peaks, and as her message morphs into something akin to a Karl Rove Talent Show, Obama has found himself taking heavy fire. And while polls have...

Since it's been a little while, I thought I'd check in again with TIME political analyst and visual connoisseur, Mark Halperin. And surprise, featured on Mark's home page today is a double-dose of guilt-by-association.

In the first instance, we...

The New York Times is Wrong

Doug Schoen | Posted April 24, 2008 | Politics


Doug Schoen

Yesterday morning, the New York Times wrote an editorial widely decrying tactics used in the recently completed Pennsylvania primary. The article specifically focused on Hillary Clinton and her use of negative campaign tactics to undermine Senator Barack Obama in the waning days of that state's contest. The Times criticized...

Rev. Jeremiah Wright: My Words Were Twisted

AP   |  RACHEL ZOLL   |   April 24, 2008


NEW YORK — The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, former pastor to Barack Obama, said that publicizing sound bites of sermons in which he condemned U.S. policies was "unfair" and "devious," and done by people who know nothing about his church, according...

North Carolina GOP Defies McCain, Runs Ad With Rev. Wright

The Swamp   |  Andrew Malcolm   |   April 24, 2008 09:12 AM


Well, gee what are you going to do, eh? States are states and so are state parties. And so the North Carolina Republican Party has decided for its own internal reasons to defy its presumptive presidential nominee and run an...
