NBC Anti-Muslim Sting Coming to Your Town

• Views: 1,563

They got caught trying to set up a phony “anti-Muslim” sting at NASCAR (with the eager help of a former Muslim Student Association “activist”), and now NBC News has offered an amazingly lame excuse: ‘Dateline’ segment not focusing on NASCAR. (Hat tip: Andrew.)

NBC tried to dispel rumors that it was investigating NASCAR for a segment on anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States, saying the focus of the story will be a widespread look across the country.

“Dateline is not planning a story about NASCAR,” the network said in a release Thursday. “We are following up on a recent poll and other articles indicating an increase in anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States. … The NASCAR race at Martinsville was a stop we have made in our research on this story, which may take us across the country.”

The network added that it had just begun researching the story. “We can assure you that what we broadcast, if anything, will be fair and accurate,” the network said. [Snort. —ed.]

In other words, yes, NBC is doing this, but it’s not only targeted at NASCAR.
