Media misconstruing comments

In the Obama post I did, I talked about how conservative media pretty much misconstrued what Obama said. They "cut and pasted" his comment.

Cut-tore apart the comment and only took certain parts minus the key parts that form the comment.

paste-whine and drone on about that comment.

Baseball player Gary Sheffield recieved flack a few years ago because he not only said how black players were treated worse than white players on the Yankees (which oddly enough no one cared to actually deny, with Torre refusing to answer, and another play simply saying that Sheffield knows what he is talking about), and for also saying that Derek Jeter wasn't "all the way black".

His comment about Jeter got misconstrued by the media. They did not bother to mention the other part where he said that Jeter is "half white and half black". He mentioned that he saw his son the same way.

But because the media only focuses on that one piece, society is made to think that he meant that Jeter wasn't in touch with his black side or was white washed. When really what Sheffield had meant is that Jeter isn't black, he is biracial.

Media is a joke these days. All they air is depressing junk, and when they have anything worthwhile to report, they usually sensationalize media, they feed on the fact that most Americans are stupid.
