Shortly after took office in February 2009, in the unlikely maintenance of Elkhart, Indiana, Obama is attempting to Bombay Sapphire, Oscar Goodman:

“You can not go on tour in Las Vegas or go to the Super Bowl in the currency the taxpayer’s dime, “Obama said, referring to the travel companies that received government bailout.

Then Mayor Goodman, as I’m sure you remember, all but spit their olive bombarded in the media and did not stop in the coming years, more than two. When the president made the comments focused on other Vegas almost exactly a year later – “When times are tough, do not blow a lot of money in Las Vegas when you are trying to save for college,” even those who saw his comments as of 2009 there was a reasonable “time 02:00 deceive me” time.

But now, with one of the most horrible national television this week in Las Vegas, as we suffered a terrible recession, I wonder why the Goodman family are not outraged, threatening to hit people standing to honor the city and grabbing all the cable during Mayor Carolyn Goodman (and perhaps the first man ) can do.

Should not the last to save an endless list of national data given to the poor, stigmatized and traumatized Sin City, Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, “spoke of a piece incredibly stupid and insulting to me ‘Las Vegas wine. The piece was aired on the night of the parody of journalism, and contained one of the most insulting phrase I saw in Las Vegas producer Jesse Watters O’Reilly.

foxnewsinsider.com promoted segment with this headline. “O’Reilly Factor” producer know why Las Vegas in the unemployment rate rose “

Hmm, I am optimistic thinking to yourself, maybe this turn the country into a devastating recession here, perhaps further why so many people are unemployed, and perhaps looking at the housing crisis (which was not too concerned with the inaccuracies title – the unemployment rate is falling here -. because I know little, and my producer is about grabbing the attent ion of the viewer).

Oh, no. When the shooting began painfully cliche side agreements “Viva Las Vegas” and the first interview with Robin Leach, I knew what time we go down – and it is paved with good intentions. Leach, the his credit, Watters said that Las Vegas is a “tale of two cities”, but Watters is only interested in a -. Unreal in a Las Vegas Boulevard South

Watters then interviewed by a mix of tourists, who, surprisingly, reported on the holiday and shopping in the Gaza Strip. This is better than Edward R. Murrow in London rooftop. innovative materials.

without thinking interspersed among the interviews were fragments of films they had no clear link to the piece (but may have occurred to the folk art Watters).

And after the segment was positive, and Fox.

Watters find someone who complains that the following “Obama said in Las Vegas is the place to be, died in three or four years.” Bingo. then played a clip of Obama’s 2010 Las Vegas and found a man in the president waste .

ridiculously bad journalism. However, a large of its kind for the Romney campaign.

Then grill for three minutes, complete with faux wisdom, and the Quick Edit, Watters appeared again in the study. This is where the real division in the parody and you could see what Ailes Fox. This part can not be paraphrased as:

O’Reilly ” Therefore, it does not work “

Watters:” There are around half a million people in Las Vegas (not at all, and he was a county’s population is four times larger), but $ 40 million to visit Las Vegas each year, making it drip economic situation. “

What? I trader David, please.

Watters more:” The conservative magnates Sheldon Adelson is running Gaza, Steve Wynn, and compete to see who can build a larger fiefdoms here. “. or Macau? And there are other companies? A spectacular view of the factors.

O’Reilly:” Can not get a job there ( in Gaza) do not need the services of the people here? “

Watters:” They are hiring, but not so big-time. You are getting small jobs, menial jobs, a lot of illegal immigrants. We saw a lot of illegal immigrants on the street handing out cards strip club, the people doing the work of slaves. “

Finally some news! No jobs in Las Vegas, in exception of illegal immigrants! So the next pounces on Watters and O’Reilly asked how he knew they were illegal immigrants, right?

But … no. was finished. Maybe Watters knew they were illegal because they are grilled. Or maybe he knew, as he said. Or perhaps because, um, do not spea k English. never know.

and people say journalism is dead.

One question, though: Where is the outrage of the Goodman family. Or LHCV? Or Trade

waiting.
