Title: SCANDAL-PLAGUED STEVE CAPUS OUT AS NBC NEWS PRESIDENT

For months now, Breitbart News has made Steve Capus the poster boy for the ongoing scandals and instances of editorial fraud that occurred under his watch as NBC News president. During his tenure, no fewer than the equivalent of five RatherGates happened; and after two, three and four of these incidents, it became glaringly apparent that Capus was the problem. Today, action was finally taken. Capus is no longer with NBC News.

Whether Capus resigned or was forced out because someone on the NBC board finally decided his moral illiteracy needed to come to an end doesn’t matter. What matters is that a management style that either encouraged this fraud or was helpless to stop it is out.

It is worth noting, though, that just six-months ago, Capus signed a long-term deal with NBC News to remain as its president.

But the only real question is, why did it take this long?

The rap sheet against Capus isn’t troubling, surprising, or even disturbing -- it is breathtaking:

Quote
1. During last year's presidential election, Andrea Mitchell was caught manufacturing a Romney gaffe where none existed.

2. During last year's GOP primary, Ed Schultz edited video of Texas Governor Rick Perry to make him look racist.

3. In April of last year, the "Today Show" was caught editing audio of a 9-1-1 call to make George Zimmerman look racist.

4. In August of 2009, Contessa Brewer sliced and diced a photograph so it wouldn't look like a black man attended a Tea Party carrying a firearm. 

5. Just this week, NBC News maliciously edited video of a town council meeting to make it look as though Second Amendment civil rights activists heckled a parent who lost his son in Newtown.

This isn’t bias; this is committing outright fraud in pursuit of a political agenda. And it is no coincidence that every single one of these incidents aided and abetted Obama directly or whatever his agenda was at the time.

Good thing he wasn't a member of the NRA, his ass would have been shitcanned a long time ago.

 :whatever:

This has less to do with any "integrity" at NBC and more to do with trying to save their asses.  **** 'em, let 'em burn.

Since Jeff Zucker....formerly of NBC is at CNN now..I wonder if Capus will find a new home there?

Either that or I'm betting he finds a home at the new and expanded AJ English.

Hi,

Isn't NBC still owned by GE?  If I am correct, the problem starts with Jeff Immelt who runs GE.  He got in bed with BO and his environmental stuff and GE makes a lot of those wind farms.  In turn BO appointed Immelt to the board of the fed.

Firing the head of NBC saying the problem is solved is like firing the guy who puts together all the game films for an NFL team because it had a losing season.  The real cause of NBC's political bias is at a much higher level.

It's important to shine the light on media fraud, bias, and outlight lies whenever they are found. Being just as relentless as possible in exposing the outright liberal slant in the media should be our watchword -- just as relentless as the libs are in using the media to form the opinions of low-information sheeple. That's why we should care.  :cheersmate:

I would agree with you at the "higher level" assertion. Which makes Capus' being fired more an issue of him allowing the level of stupidity in the outright manipulation and blatant bias to appear than him actually being the "brains" behind the outfit. And that stupidity in him failing to cover up the manipulation is what got him fired - not for having allowed it.

Wonder if this will have repercussions at the PMSNBC freak show.

I guess those weirdos have a landing place at the new Algore Jazeera operation.

What? Are you kidding?  Even the freak show that was already EMPLOYED by Al Gore before he sold to Al Jizzreara won't be staying.

The muzzies are murderous psychopaths, but they ain't stupid.
