docwebsterIn an entirely disgusting twist, it seems.. well, I'll just cut and paste:
"A report leading the BBC Newsnight newscast about how African Americans are being targeted by Republicans in Florida 2004. The journalist who did the report discussed on Democracy Now! that the RNC threatened the BBC if they aired the report and that the RNC would restrict future access to Republican guests.
Note: this is the same reporter who broke the story about voter suppression of the African American vote after the 2000 election fiasco in Florida - a story that the American media passingly picked up only several months later and was also covered in F9/11 in a big way. (i.e. Florida republican election officials knowingly put African Americans on the do-not-vote list because of non-existent criminal records)."
The above and a video of said report can be found here.
Do they have no shame, no basic decency?
