Shame On NBC's DATELINE


Get a clue!

Ok, we missed this earlier in the month...you've probablly seen it all over the blogs already, but we did think it was noteworthy. NASCAR upset over Dateline NBC segment on racism "NASCAR said NBC confirmed it was sending Muslim-looking men to a race, along with a camera crew to film fans' reactions. The NBC crew was "apparently on site in Martinsville, Va., walked around and no one bothered them," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Wednesday."

Oh please. NBC needs to make a formal apology to NASCAR and to NASCAR fans. What dope thought this one up? Dude, there's a reason reality shows are scripted. This smacks of desparation and is why so many are fed up with MSM. We at PAA believe there's still a place for MSM and love some of the good journalism that takes place. However, stunts like this one completely un-do any good will folks have left. NBC, shame on you!
