Chris Hayes Reads CNN on their Crappy Reporting of the Boston Bombing Suspect
Chris is reading CNN for frakking up the information about the suspect and the faulty reporting throughout the day:
He said:
Forget about the fact that CNN got wrong the information they said they had. Just explain to me precisely what news value exists in the adjective "dark skinned." What exactly that's newsworthy is communicated in that phrase? A dark-skinned individual could be my swarthier Italian relatives or the Ethiopian that won the Boston Marathon before it was bombed on Monday and everyone in between.Watch his full report after the jump:
No, that's not the purpose of that phrase. That phrase is not there to convey journalism. What 'dark-skinned' indicates is aha, all you folks who thought it was a bad Muslim who did this, you were right.
Because, of course, let's be honest, that is the subtext that says all of this.
But our job, our job in the media is not to flatter those knee-jerk presumptions for the sake of momentary titilation, it's to wrestle that to the ground and get the facts right.

MSNBC covers The Marriage Equality Drama - WATCH
Chris asked some great questions we should consider. The way this is happening is not so cute. This 'pushing for an answer' game is getting mixed reviews. As I said before in other posts, not every gay person feels that this has to happen so fast.
Some of us understand the political game; we don't this game, but we get why it's done. Also, following up with Krystal Ball's statement, most people know that President Obama is on our side. You have to be daft to think he's against it. Plus, he actions are very loud. He's no longer supporting DOMA, he's pushing for ENDA, he's making sure his support is known.
But I'm not sure forcing an answer from him is the best method. I rather have a well-thought out response versus a forced answer. Personally, I think he will not be forced into saying much. President Obama will probably release a statement that will say "Gay Marriage is coming in the 2nd term." I'm fine with that. What he says now wouldn't go in effect until next year, so to keep it real, we're waiting anyway.
