NBC News Reporter Stops
Returning Carnival Cruise
Passenger From Quoting Bible

Newsbusters, by Noel Sheppard

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 2/16/2013 12:34:14 PM

As stranded Carnival Cruise passengers began finally disembarking in Mobile, Alabama, late Thursday evening, MSNBC had NBC News correspondent Mark Potter on the scene to speak with them. One young lady during her over three minute interview tried to cite a Bible verse that helped her get through the ordeal, but Potter pulled his microphone away and quickly ended the discussion (video follows with transcript and commentary): MARK POTTER, MSNBC REPORTER: It sounded like you guys handled it pretty well. Were there some passengers who seemed to have a really rough time on board?

Comments:
Deeper into the article it shows how Fox News covered the Bible quotes.

The anti-Christ spirit at MSNBC is alive and well.

God bless Fox News for letting the word of God go forth!

I have to say the CNN reporters on their LIVE coverage were fine discussing the Bible study, how it encouraged, and how popular it became with each successive night. I was AMAZED but they were most kind to those discussing it.

Rude is rude & Potter is rude, ...among other things. The alphabets´ reporting is deplorable.

The network nitwits are easy to ignore, articles about their stupidity, not so much.

the only time we watch MSNBC is online, usually newsbuster, after they have shown thier bias. Does anyone watch that channel?

I have finally found a use for parental blocks on my DVR.

Unblocked CBS for the Super Bowl, forgot to re-block, puked then re-blocked.

I wonder how the networks would have covered it if that young lady slapped Mark Potter across the face for his rudeness.
She certainly should have done so.
I know I wouldn´t have, though. I would have kneed him in the groin.

I may be the ONLY one thinking this, but sorry, don´t agree. The woman was starting to ramble on, first about selling her tickets. She did get in the fact that she felt God helped her, but the reporter likely had a certain amount of time, and he had no way of knowing how long the verse was going to be. He was probably getting "5 seconds" in his earpiece and had to move on.

Come on folks. There is enough REAL Christian bashing to go around and be concerned about. This isn´t one of them. Every day reporters cut people a little short to fit the time they have for a segment.

What a Jerk! Would he have done this to someone quoting Ghandi or the Quoran? No.

Sorry, Number 10. You may have a point, but not in this case. She, as a Christian, felt compelled to share her Hope. HE was the one who was rambling, for after he basically cut them off, HE went on to ramble for another good 10-20 seconds or so.

It´s helpful to be reminded, from time to time, why it´s worth ignoring the networks.

I remember during W´s admin, ´MSNBC´ stood for ´Make Sure No Bush Compliments´. Seems it also stands for ´Make Sure No Bible Credit´.


Reply 14 - Posted by: EQKimball, 2/16/2013 4:50:27 PM     (No. 9180556)

Who did she think she was, anyway? Al Sharpton?


Reply 15 - Posted by: msjena, 2/16/2013 5:16:15 PM     (No. 9180607)

It is naive to think that the reporter didn´t deliberately cut off the Bible verse. Rambling on? The whole conversation lasted less than a minute.


Reply 16 - Posted by: Pmarc078, 2/16/2013 5:19:17 PM     (No. 9180610)

Sorry..... I´m not buying that this trip was so horrible that someone needed a bible verse to help her get through it. It was a luxury vacation that turned into a camping trip. Deal with it.

It used to be a lot easier finding comfort in God,until Satan´s son took over this country and I´m only half kidding. Obama has put unnecessary burdens on people is a devious,inhumane way to achieve some sort of clownish world government that purports to be the grand arbiter of all the world´s ills.

There´s billions of starvation money siphoned off by liberal elites and dictators every year.Then they blame global warming for the starvation to fleece people of more money.

- 16:
I do believe you don´t think what happened on that ship was a big deal. Neither do I. So how about you and I do an exercise to try to recreate it in a setting we´re familiar with, to help us get a handle on it.

Let´s Invite fifty total strangers over to our houses, and promise them luxury. Then when they´re all inside, we will lock the doors from the outside, shut off the ´lectric, water, sewer, and make them all live in the living room without contact with their families for the duration.

While this is cooking, they have free access to the surrounding rooms, but only to urinate and void their bowels on the floor. No one will clean our floors until our guests leave.

In return for the free access to the odoriferous treat emminating from their surroundings, they can live on un refrigerated food and practice their public manners.

I´m not sure I would sympathize with hose crybabies, either, after this experiment. But it may be worth a try.

Impressively sardonic, #18. Well-said.

Worth noting, too, that most people know they need to bring their own food on a camping trip. Luxury hotel guests expect to be able to get food while they´re staying there.

Armed Forces Day and

SAN JOSE— For most Americans in the United States, Armed Forces Day is not on the lists of likely holidays to honor the country’s military in celebrations of Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Sadly, most Americans may not even realize that Armed Forces Day is even a legitimate holiday. Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

Aging falcon succeeds

Dorothy, the 14-year-old peregrine falcon that since 2002 has nested on a 40th-floor ledge of the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland, was perched on the limestone railing next to that nest and her lone chick shortly before 9 a.m. Friday. She´d just fed the 22-day-old chick a small bird for breakfast. "Baltimore oriole ... again," said Kate St. John, who blogs about the city´s peregrines. Someone else watching from the office inside the window next to the nest said it looked like Dorothy was calmly "chilling." Ms. St. John´s response was that nothing could be further from the truth.

WASHINGTON — An Internal Revenue Service watchdog testified Friday that he told Obama administration officials in June that he was looking into allegations the IRS targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The revelation by Inspector General Russell George came at the first congressional hearing on the IRS misconduct, which has generated a political firestorm since it was disclosed a week ago. George’s testimony represented the first evidence that officials in the Obama administration knew of the allegations as long as a year ago, during the presidential campaign.

On Thursday´s NBC Nightly News, after proclaiming President Obama to be "on the offensive" amid growing scandals, anchor Brian Williams hinted at those controversies being only temporary setbacks for Obama: "And some folks are already calling the President´s problems the curse of the second term. And yet it´s tough to know the staying power of any given scandal in the making, along with the effect any of this might have on his overall planned agenda."

Fox News host Jon Scott thinks the big three network evening news programs are already starting to tire of President Obama‘s “trifecta” of scandals. Scott outlined exactly how long ABC, CBS and NBC spent discussing development in the Benghazi, IRS and AP stories Thursday night, before asking his guests, “Is there scandal fatigue?” Judith Miller began by taking a swipe at the “mainstream media,” saying, “when issues get complicated and the press have to do a lot of filling in of facts that perhaps they haven’t bothered to report before, yes, things do get complicated

Watchdog: Senior Obama

Senior Obama administration officials where notified almost a year ago that an inspector general was looking into the IRS’s treatment of conservative groups, a watchdog said on Friday. Russell George, Treasury’s inspector general (IG) for tax administration, testified that he told the department’s general counsel and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin about the probe around June of 2012 — months after media reports started detailing Tea Party complaints about the IRS. George stressed that he told the officials merely that a probe was underway. After the hearing, aides at the inspector general’s office later said it’s standard practice

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,

“I look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow’s press conference,” President Obama said last night, after announcing the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller. The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.
