NBC: Bastion of Journalistic Integrity
Most of you have probably seen Michelle Malkin's write ups over the last two days about NBC'c attempt to provoke discriminatory events for the camera. This incident is a clear example of at least three enlightening facts about the news media:
1- The media has to create news because there simply isn't enough sensationalism to fill a 24 hour news cycle
2- The media is enormously above strength and these people are reduced to tabloid style reporting just to keep the limelight.
3- NBC, who plans to film at a NASCAR event, thinks race fans are bigots which ironically indicates that NBC is riddled with bias against people they perceive as typical NASCAR fans.
Here's my suggestion: Post a HUGE sign out front of the event that says "Muslims welcome. Journalists must wait at curb." Or perhaps a separate drinking fountain and bathroom for NBC reporters....

I hardly ever go to NBC for entertainment, and I never go to them for the news. I think that reporters and these networks have gotten such celebrity status that their news format has to be "bigger and better" just so all the big heads to report it. I don't know about conspiracy theories or anything like that, but I would not put it past a few reporters to create their own natural disaster if it would get them a headline. If you want news you can really use, get out of your house and participate in the world around you. That is simply the only way to trust anything these dayd, see it for yourself.
