Telemundo Caught Staging Protesters At Anti-Trump Protest
[guest post by Dana]
Accusations are being made that Telemundo “staged” protesters at the protest rally in San Diego last week. In a video shot by filmmaker Andrew Marcus, a Telemundo cameraman can be clearly seen directing protesters to correct the way they hold the Mexican flag for a more effective impact. When Marcus asks whether the Telemundo cameraman was staging a shot, the cameraman answers “probably”. The cameraman, who was a temporary worker hired by Telemundo, also attempts to defend himself by saying he was “not part of the protest.” (Note the increasing hostility of the crowd):
Classy bunch.
Telemundo responded to the accusation by reminding the public why they are not to be trusted with accurate reporting in spite of their claims that they report news with balance and accuracy:
In a statement Telemundo gave to the MRC, who shared it with Mediaite, the network said that “the integrity of the broadcast was not compromised since the material was not used by the Network news team.”
Interestingly, Ken Oliver-Méndez, the director of MRC Latino, had this to say:
“There’s a fine line between covering the news and creating the news,” he said, adding that it was “out of bounds professionally” and “disturbing to any legitimate journalist” to witness a member of the press working with the protesters to arrange the shot the way he wants.
In a tweet, Oliver-Méndez described the episode as “A self-inflicted wound on Telemundo’s credibility.”
If we’ve had anything confirmed to us in the past week or so, it’s that when the left deletes, edits, or stages any part of a video record to make it fit their narrative or push their agenda, it’s no big deal. But when it’s the right being accused, then that’s always different.

But… but… but Kevin M said this was a phony issue. Are you contending that’s not the case, Dana?

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/3/2016 @ 6:15 pmLord help the Telemundo temp who reports a fair account of San Jose. He has to go back home, and live among his riotous neighbors.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 6/3/2016 @ 6:23 pmThe point must be close to where his tool shed will be ransacked, his children harassed, his car broken into, regardless of what he reports, judging by the San Jose crime map.
Great post.

Patterico (86c8ed) — 6/3/2016 @ 6:36 pmTelemundo is claiming it didn’t use the footage, which is therefore irrelevant.
Does anyone know what Telemundo showed? For instance, did they show any of the violence shown on the other cable channels like CNN and MSNBC.
kishnevi (b0adf2) — 6/3/2016 @ 6:36 pmA clean joke.
An old DC-3 cargo plane is making a flight from El Paso to Mexico City.
On board are the two pilots along with a Frenchman from Paris, a Mexican from Tijuana, a Brit from London, an American from San Antonio and a German from Berlin.
The plane takes off but soon, over the Mexican mountains, begins to lose an engine– and altitude. The pilots radio back to the passengers: ‘ We have to lighten the plane, so toss out all the cargo.’ The five passengers dutifully throw everything out- including the parachutes… but the plane keeps going down. The pilots say again, “We still need to lighten the plane!” The Frenchman stands up and shouts ‘Vive La France!” and jumps out of the plane. Splat. But the plane keeps descending. “We still need to lighten this old crate,” shout the pilots! The Brit stands up and yells “God save the Queen!” — and jumps out of the plane. Splat. But still, the plane keeps going down so the pilots say again, “Lighten this plane more!’ So the German stands up and shouts ‘Deutschland uber alles—-” and jumps out of the plane. Splat. The pilots radio back again and say– “a little more, lighten the plane!’ So the American stands up, salutes, and says ‘Remember the Alamo!”– picks up the Mexican and tosses him out of the plane.
Today, we’d amend that to say ‘vote Trump’ and toss him out of the plane.
The end.
DCSCA (a343d5) — 6/3/2016 @ 6:37 pmI’d vote Trump . . . if we were voting on who to toss out of the plane in that joke.
Good thing I’m not Sirius. XM.

mg (eac32b) — 6/3/2016 @ 6:55 pmThen Pilot Hillary came over the intercom and admitted she had accidentally pressed the wrong buttons, because they weren’t properly labeled, but now everything is fine, and it’s a total coincidence that the Clinton Foundation recently obtained life insurance policies on the Frenchman, the German, and the Mexican.

It’s a very short “just the facts” piece.

Rick Ballard (7727d9) — 6/3/2016 @ 7:00 pmA Trumpkin is on a flight from Atlanta to Memphis, when the pilot announces: “I regret to inform you, folks, that one of our engines went out, but don’t worry. We can still fly on the remaining three, it’s just that our flight will be half an hour late.”
A little bit later, the pilot announces: “I’m sorry to tell you that a second engine went out but we’ll still be fine. We can fly on the remaining two, but now our flight will be one hour late.”
Not more than a ten minutes go by, when again the pilot announces: “Folks, I hate to tell you this, but our third engine went out. Don’t worry, the plane can fly on one engine, but we will now be two hours late.”
And the Trumpkin says: “I hope that fourth engine does not go out or we will be up here forever.”

The Gentle Grizzly (11fea2) — 6/3/2016 @ 7:08 pmA friend who used to be a news producer says that it’s basically all staged. And she’s a liberal!
During the Iraq war CNN and CBS both had segments on their manufactured news from the Middle East, after heaving email barrages from people like me who objected to their lies. I’m sure they’re down the memory hole somewhere, but for a moment, they admitted it and proved it with video.
My favorite was a protest in Peshawar by Islamic Rage Boy and his cohorts. Of course it was shot in closeup so we couldn’t see the whole setting. Finally Amanpour’s crew panned away, and showed the whole protest as like ten guys screaming. And all the shopkeepers were yelling in English, “We love America! These guys are jerks!” And this is CNN…

mg (f81376) — 6/3/2016 @ 7:37 pmA loud-mouthed, big shot Chicago lawyer went duck hunting in rural Wisconsin. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer’s field on the other side of a fence.
As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked the lawyer what he was doing.
The lawyer responded, “I shot a duck and it fell into this field, and now I’m going to retrieve it.”
The old farmer replied. “This is my property, and your not coming over here.”
The indignant lawyer replied. “I’m one of the best trial lawyers in the Chicago, and if you don’t let me retrieve that duck, I’ll sue you and take everything that you own.
The old farmer smiled and said, “Apparently, you don’t know how we do things in Wisconsin, sonny. We settle small disagreements like this, with the Wisconsin Three Kick Rule.”
The lawyer asked, “What is the Wisconsin Three Kick Rule?”
The farmer replied, “Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth until someone gives up.”
The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old farmer slowly gets down from the tractor and walked up to the big city lawyer. His first kick planted the steel toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer’s groin, which dropped him to his knees.
His second kick nearly ripped the nose off his face.
The lawyer was flat on his belly, when the farmer’s third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up, but didn’t.
The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, “Okay, you old man, now it’s my turn.”
The old farmer smiled and said,
“Naw, I give up, You can keep the duck.”
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/3/2016 @ 7:42 pmTelemundo supports the thugs living in this country. All illegals need to be deported. I have had two asian wives brought here by law. These anti trump thugs are uneducated, illiterate, they need to be deported now. They are violent and ignorant. If I had a uzzi, and went to one of their protests, there would be alot of dead protesters. Telemundo supports this violence and needs to be shut down in what ever means necessary.
Jeff (486812) — 6/3/2016 @ 7:45 pmDon’t do that. Because it would be wrong.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 6/3/2016 @ 8:00 pmJeff,
I second papertiger’s advice. In addition, I’m glad you don’t have “a uzzi” and I’m intrigued that you have 2 wives.

urbanleftbehind (847a06) — 6/3/2016 @ 9:39 pmtelemundo was just doing what they have observed big media doing, maybe just a little more blatant.
When you see a picture or video of Trump’s crowds, you see a wide angle view where you can see thousands of supporters. When you see a picture or video of hillary’s “crowds” the view is always close up so you can’t tell if her “crowd” is the five people you see or if there are more.
Jim (a9b7c7) — 6/4/2016 @ 5:08 amRight Jim, cause as we know the leftist media is so pro Trump, right?
Rev. Hoagie© (734193) — 6/4/2016 @ 5:20 amNo, conversely, they are pro hillary. I believe they want to hide the fact that hillary cannot draw crowds the way Trump does. They cannot avoid Trump’s crowds but they can hide hillary’s.
Jim (a9b7c7) — 6/4/2016 @ 6:33 amHere’s an excerpt from Julia Sukek at the San Jose MercuryNews.com
The Police Chief admits his officers stood by and watched as citizens were attacked, but is making excuses for preventing the cops from protecting Trump supporters. The Mayor has already blamed the violence on Donald Trump and those who attended his rally.
ropelight (596f46) — 6/4/2016 @ 9:17 amThose officers don’t deserve to wear the badge if they stand by and watch physical assaults occur right in front of them and do nothing about it.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/4/2016 @ 9:29 amThat I find very heartening. Should Trump, God forbid, be elected, I want police who are not loyal to him. As many as possible.
nk (dbc370) — 6/4/2016 @ 9:30 amAnd that sh*theel mayor should be recalled, as morning AM radio hosts Armstrong and Getty are suggesting.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/4/2016 @ 9:32 amAs a lawyer, aren’t you committed to upholding the law and seeing that justice, however imperfect it may be, is upheld nk?
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/4/2016 @ 9:34 amThe police acted within the law.
nk (dbc370) — 6/4/2016 @ 9:52 amNot the law where I call home. I guess this is yet another testament to the corrupting influence of liberalism.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/4/2016 @ 10:03 amPatterico, we’re in serious need of a joke thread. It might do everyone good to turn away from politics for 15 minutes.
Bill H (971e5f) — 6/4/2016 @ 10:27 am— What do you think is more painful? A woman giving birth or a man getting kicked in the testicles?
nk (dbc370) — 6/4/2016 @ 10:32 am— A man getting kicked in the testicles.
— Why do you say that?
— After a woman has a baby, a year or so goes by and you’ll hear her say, “I think I’d like to have another baby”. You don’t hear a man say, “I think I’d like to have another kick in the testicles”.
One of my favorites:
We all know about lawyers and the typical stereotypes. Well, seems a lawyer finds himself in Hell. Not really unusual. But:
A minion takes said lawyer on a tour of the underworld. Apparently, there are several rooms to choose from for your eternal fate. There’s all the usual- the flesh being melted away from your body, eternally frozen in a lake up to your nose, ripping, tearing, stabbing, you all know.
The minion and the lawyer get to the last few doors. Minion reminds the lawyer that he has to choose one, or it will be chosen for him. The pair get to a door, and they look inside. Everybody is standing around, waist-deep in sh*t, drinking coffee. Lawyer can’t believe his eyes. He asks for a closer look, and the minion says “go on ahead”. Lawyer looks around a bit, decides that he can do this for eternity, and tells the minion “This is it. This is the room for me”. The minion asks “Are you sure? No take backs or exchanges once you’re inside”. The lawyer agrees to terms and chooses this room.
The minion in charge of the room tells the lawyer welcome, and the coffee pot is over there with all the condiments, cocoa and pastries. Enjoy! Lawer saunters over, smug in how he beat the Devil. He pours himself a cup, dresses it up really nice. Jusrt as the lawyer takes his first sip, the room minion barks out:
Alright! Break time is over1 Everybody, back on your heads!!
Bill H (971e5f) — 6/4/2016 @ 3:11 pmPrecisely what I’ve been saying; they’re on the side of the protesters who consider the US to be an oppressive force illegally occupying Aztlan. Police Chief Garcia understands that perfectly well but people like him are convinced they’re smarter than everyone else, and the stupid Anglos wont understand the context. He’s not on the side of the oppressive USG or the American flag wavers. He’s on the side of the Mexican flag wavers/American flag burners.
He’s using the exact same language of the rioters and he can’t be ignorant of that. Instead he’s rubbing it in. Secretly, he fools himself into believing.
Anyway, regarding Telemundo, hot on the heels of Couric’s falsely and misleadingly edited fictionmentary “Under the Gun,” NBC editing Zimmerman’s 911 call to make him appear to be a racist when he was only responding to the dispatcher’s question that they cut out, al Reuters photographers caught photoshopping pictures to make it look like the Israelis were just indiscriminately bombing Gaza, etc., etc., ad nauseum, can anybody be surprised?
This is what the media does. They’re lying hypocritical sacks of sh*t. The LHMFM is just an extension of the DNC/WH press office (when a Democrat is in the WH). As Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit always says, they’re just Democratic operatives with bylines. Hence…
https://pjmedia.com/andrewklavan/2016/06/01/why-trumps-attacks-on-the-media-work-every-time/
These people in the LHMFM are so stupid they think we haven’t caught on to the fact they’re just leftwing propagandists.
And, no, that doesn’t make me want to jump on the Trump train as I’m not ready to make the drive for a post-constitutional America a bipartisan project. But you don’t need to be a Trumpkin to see through the media and despise it.
