Editgate: NBC's Nameless Scapegoat

breitbart.com — The biggest problem for NBC News is that a single unnamed sacrificial scapegoat doesn't begin to pay for the deliberate crime of throwing gasoline on a racial fire that was already raging.

Edit-Gate didn’t occur in the fever swamps of MSNBC. This happened on the oh-so-storied "Today Show," which means that there are only two ways this was allowed to happen:

1. The checks and balances at the "Today Show" are so lax that one person can push something like this on the air without anyone noticing -- at least until New Media smells a rat.

2. There are checks and balances, but this was ALLOWED to go through purely for the partisan political purpose of aiding and abetting Obama's push to gin up his base in a crucial swing state.

Not only do we need to know HOW a scandal that makes Rathergate look like just another piece of biased reporting was allowed to happen; we also need to know WHO allowed it to happen.

It doesn't matter if the answer to the above question is one, two, or all of the above. Either someone who needs to be fired put a wildly irresponsible system in place, or a whole bunch of people who need to be fired allowed this travesty to skim through.

Either way, more people need to be fired, most especially the person who sits at the desk where the NBC buck ultimately stops.
