Matt Lauer and Andrea Mitchell: Hypocrites of the highest order exposed

Absolutely brilliant take down of NBC by Humberto Fontova at the American Thinker:

Apparently eager to highlight their hypocrisy, the month prior to their Cuba broadcast, the "Today Show" reported on location from Cape Town, South Africa. "The one indispensable visit on a trip to Cape Town is a pilgrimage to Robben Island [a former political prison]," frowned the Today Show hosts. "Most moving, of course, is the tour through the prison, led by former inmates, where you'll view the painfully cramped cell where Nelson Mandela spent eighteen of his twenty-seven years in prison."

Cuban political prisons and political prisoners did not merit any mention during the two-hour "Today Show" Havana broadcast, though hundreds of political prisoners were languishing in Cuba's dungeon's within miles of Andrea and Matt during the very taping. Among these were black human rights activist Dr. Elias Biscet, who attempted Gandhi's and Martin Luther King's tactics of non-violent civil disobedience against Cuba's very violent regime and suffers daily tortures for the effort, as confirmed by Amnesty International. The Paris-based Reporters without Borders documents that almost 20 percent of the world's jailed journalists (Matt and Andrea's colleagues, you might think) languish in Cuba's (a nation of 11 million!) prisons. Many of these jailed journalists suffered in dungeons within walking distance of where Matt and Andrea were yukking it up with their jailers and urging their viewers to "come on down!" -- and thus further reward, enrich, and entrench these jailers and torturers.

Read the whole thing. It is today's must read.

    Sr. Fontova strikes again. The best was the Beemer analogy. I only wish that the useful idiots at NBC would red the article. Hats off to Humberto.
