Suppose Fox News stereotyped Mexicans as sombrero-wearing, tequila-guzzling idiots? Do you think there would be a reaction to it in the media?
Do you think MSNBC would have something to say about it?
Well, watch this video of Mexicans being portrayed exactly that way – and on Cinco de Mayo to boot – which comes to us via Mark Finkelstein\’s blog at newsbusters.org, and tell me what you think MSNBC would have to say:
I assume you agree that\’s one helluva negative stereotype.
But don\’t bother trying to figure out what MSNBC would say about it. That is because, by watching the video, you already know the answer, since it aired on MSNBC\’s “Way Too Early” show this morning.
The highly amused host is Thomas Roberts and the genius doing his Mexican-stereotyping routine is the show\’s producer, Louis Burgdorf.
Now let\’s wait and see how the left wing blogosphere – you know, those nice folks who hang on just about every word they hear on MSNBC – express their outrage.
Actually, don\’t bother, I\’ll give you a hint. Mediamatters.org? No mention. Dailykos.com? No mention. Crooksandliars.com? No mention.
Funny how that works…….
