Propaganda or just bad journalism by Tim Russert?

Tim Russert calls attention to the picture of Obama standing in front of three people who have their hands over their hearts. Russert claimed that this was during the Pledge of Allegiance and that this could be used against in November by the Republicans.

Apparently he is using it against him in April because he forgets to mention that this viral email was a lie. This picture is taken during the National Anthem which does not require the hand over the heart. The original photo is found here in Time Magazine where it is noted that the pic was taken during the National Anthem.

But apparently Russert gets his "news" from viral emails.

  • Wow, and I thought I liked Tim Russert. This campaign has brought a lot of laden hypocrisy, racism, gender bias and weak or slanted journalism to light. Just another added benefit from breaking with the status quo.
