NBC, Green even if they have to make it up.

NBC (and their nuttier child MSNBC) are taking this green week so far that now they are quoting people out of context to promote their agenda.

MSNBC.com put the following "quote" from Randy Thomas, VP of Exodus International on why he was supporting Mike Huckabee.

Randy Thomas, vice president of Exodus International, an evangelical ministry, wrote last month that “I have decided to vote for Huckabee. Yes, it is because he is unabashedly Christian, but it is also that he does care for the environment.”

Only problem, they intentionally left stuff out that completely changed the meaning.

Here is the actual quote.

Speaking on behalf of me….and me alone … not any organization and (especially not Exodus because Exodus as an organization does not support or condemn any particular candidate) *I* have decided to vote for Huckabee. Yes, it is because he is unabashedly Christian, but it is also that he does care for the environment (in a balanced way … not the “new religion” kind of way.) I like that he has a lot of good experience as well. Of all the candidates, I like him. I like Fred too, but Huck is just as likeable in my opinion.

Leaving out the entire (in a balanced way … not the “new religion” kind of way.) changes things quite a bit don't you think?

Would someone like to come along and tell me how NBC, or their leftier cable news outlet, MSNBC is objective?

By the way, MSNBC did not contact Mr. Thomas for clarification nor did they ask his permission to cite him in their story. They just plucked something from his writings and changed the meaning to suit their agenda.
