Progressive Media Slant of the Week
Look at this headline from Tampa Bay Online -
RNC-bound Randy Travis arrested naked, charged with drunk driving
I had no idea when I posted this story yesterday that Travis was on his way to the RNC.
Let’s read further.
Randy Travis crashed his car and was found naked and intoxicated, officials said, a day after it was announced he would perform in Tampa for a nonpartisan benefit for veterans during the Republican National Convention.
Hmm. I have a bit more information, but it still sounds like this has something to do with the RNC. Let’s read a bit more.
This week, it was announced that Travis would perform for a private benefit for Got Your 6 on Aug. 29 at the Dallas Bull. Got Your 6 is a nonpartisan organization that helps veterans reintegrate into civilian life. The group plans a similar concert for the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
Wait. So if I’m understanding this clearly, Got Your 6 is an organization that has nothing at all to do with the RNC and they are just using the RNC as an opportunity to have lots of people in town with nothing to do at night, so they got booked at an area nightclub, and they will be doing the same during the DNC.
And here I thought that this drunk was going to be performing at the RNC, and when he got the word he loaded up his Trans Am, and himself, and weaved on down the highway, playing with the stick shift even though he’s driving an automatic, and probably shooting a gun in the air, or something.
But people don’t just read headlines. They read the entire story, right?
From the comments section -
-WOW You couldn’t buy this kinda publicity if you tried. Keep up the good work Republicans you set the best examples don’t you? Cant wait to see the shenanigans you pull in a few weeks time!
- I hope he takes the stage naked. Why not. The Republicans have stolen everything and we all might as well be naked. My 401K is.
-He’ll be a hit @ the RNC!

So it isn’t going to be the Republican Naked Convention?
My sil, an avid nudist who happens to live outside Tampa, will be devastated.

“….But people don’t just read headlines. They read the entire story, right?….”
Which is exactly how we got the rorschach-in-chief. He was nothing but an ink blot, onto which the “deep thinkers” projected what they wanted to see (and believe).

No worries – the MSM will straighten this out tonight on the news and force TBO to issue daily retractions and apologies over the next 90 days.
Because that’s how professional journalism works, people.

Try posting a story with the headline “9 dollar whore and presidential rapist given key speaking gigs @ DNC” and watch demands for congressional hearings.

I still can’t convince a liberal to call me a teabagger to my face.

I was just checking the Jersey rags to see how they reported the story about Romney collecting $2 Million here yesterday. I couldn’t find it by looking at the face of the paper so I used the search box.
The article displayed as 3 pages: 1- 500 small business owners attended an event with 2 protesters on the edges. Emphasis on the protesters. 2 – The calculated mph for the trip up the Parkway to the airport. Conclusion: speeding! 3- A photo, a video and some quotes from one of the sour pusses that was protesting.
That’s how NJ stays blue.

He allowed them to wear sandals but not to take a change of clothes. (Mk.6;8-9. NLT ©2007)

I believe “I got your 6 right here” is what he said to the arresting officers…

” Got Your 6 is a nonpartisan organization” If that’s true (and I doubt it) why are the only celebs on their commercials ultra liberals? Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks and old Horseface?
