Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that everyone is on average approximately six steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person on Earth.
In a recent article over at Big Journalism, writer John Nolte discusses the deliberate editing of an NBC clip to portray George Zimmerman as racist in a 911 call before events that led to Zimmerman shooting Trayvon Martin.Nolte details three separate instances of "maliciously edited newscasts in order to inflame racial division," which include this latest travesty at NBC which resulted in an "unnamed producer" being fired. Two of those instances directly benefited Barack Obama.
Many could make the argument that this third example which results in racially dividing America during an election season where a half African-America president is fighting to be reelected, Benefits Barack Obama as well.
The entire piece is well worth the read but for those that just don't click links, I am highlighting one specific section from the article which shows four degrees of separation from NBC to Barack Obama.
Because this is how it works:
- NBC/MSNBC is partially owned (49%) by GE.
-
GE received $24.9 million in Obama stimulus funds.
Must read related piece over at Talk Left, headline "NBC's Bad Edit Pre-dated Today Show And Still Appears on NBC News Sites."
