I spent this morning trying to register my frustration with Jake Tapper's piece on the ABC News blog.
Every time I posted it was deleted shortly thereafter. I posted comments such as:
Obama did not use the words "racist" or "xenophobic", you did!
and
Does Jake Tapper take money from the McCain campaign?
When you state it as a question it makes it almost true!
Be a reporter not a conveyor of political talking points.
Here is a comment that was deleted:
I also noticed that many of the comments supporting Obama and pointing out the hypocrisy of the piece were also being deleted. Anyone reading the user comments could be led to believe that the concensus out there is pro-McCain.
The sinister thing here to me is the editing or deleting of dissent from readers. Is this ABC News trying to protect itself from being revealed for its shabby MSM methods, or is it Jake Tapper trying to con readers in to thinking the prevailing opinion is pro-McCain?
Have others experienced this kind of stuff?
