MSNBC anchor just said "when they start questioning Osama"

[No Passaran]

I'm so sick of these blowhards.

[No Passaran]

1. who is this asshole anchoring MSNBC now?

[jenmito]

6. Lester Holt. n/t

[ellacott]

7. I saw a man anchoring this weekend

I wonder of it is the same person.

[PM Martin]

2. What is important is that the voters are not buying into..

the media's propaganda tactics.

[MadBadger]

3. You know, Teddy Kennedy made the same mistake once...Lester Holt is a great journalist IMO.

[ErinBerin84]

10. my grandfather (Republican for Obama) called Obama "Osama bin Laden" once

Easy mistake to make, but you would think that journalists would be used to it by now.

[Unsane]

4. Nobody watches that channel (except during peak hours)

[ErinBerin84]

5. it's really not that hard to say Obama, folks.

[Cali_Democrat]

8. Did he correct himself? n/t

[No Passaran]

12. after he said "osama" he said "obama". no excuse me or nothing. fucking asshole

[LSparkle]

9. Oops ... I still think Lester Holt is a "grownup" though

It was probably just a slip, as opposed to something
more telling. Now if that had been Alex Twit saying
it, I would have thought it was intentional ...

[MadBadger]

13. Your argument is pathetic

Teddy Kennedy anyone?

[Schulzz]

11. They should fire people who still make this "mistake", I have never said Osama.

:puke:

[vaberella]

18. Ditto...however my Marxist professor did. I still don't know if it was slip

or because he was mocking the idiots that do it in MSM. His argument didn't clear up that matter for me. Keep in mind he's so die hard Obama it's disturbing; that's why I found it weird it was done and put it to just mocking the MSM with their actions in that regard.

20. Ya know

I made that mistake once in writing something here on DU. I was told to edit my post "seriously." Even reading it again, I didn't see my error. I have to say, there was some news and discussion about Osama bin Laden at the time, so his name was fresh in my mind---the only reason I think I made that mistake at the time.

[Mojambo]

14. My roomate, an Obama supporter, made the same mistake the other day

It's easier to do than you think.

[masshole]

15. just a slip.. he did the same thing with Ayers a moment ago too

Called him "Brad" Ayers mistakenly, one of his guests was some repug spokesman named Brad something.

[BadDog40]

16. I saw it, he started to say Osama and stopped himself and said Obama

[FloridaGrl]

17. We have to agree that their names are close

I think it was not deliberate. It was just a slip.

[Bluenorthwest]

19. Heard it

phoned them. 212-664-4444 ask for MSNBC News comment line and let it rip!

[Supersedeas]

21. GE-NBC and Fannie David Gregory, Andrea Greenspan, Mika the Skankburg Sidekick

[City Lights]

22. Lester is a fucking teleprompter reader! If he can't read the words before him,

he's not qualified for his job!

I'm so sick of the corporate whore media. :nuke:
