Tribune and NPR Edit Out “Rosie O’Donnell”

I think it was the day after the Republican Presidential Debate and a Chicago Tribune article quoted Megyn Kelly’s question to Donald Trump about women.

Included was Trump’s reply with the exception of Trump’s interjection of Rosie O’Donnell’s name.

I think his interruption of Kelly’s question was, “Just Rosie O’Donnell.”

It brought down the house in Cleveland and helped neutralize the negative impact of the question.

Saturday afternoon I was listing to either WBEZ or the public radio station out of Northern Illinois University, when, early in the program “On the Media” out of WNYC, early in the show a male reporter was interviewing a man who wrote a book on Donald Trump.

He purported to play that same part of the interview.

Except, just like the Tribune reporter, he left out the part about Rosie O’Donnell.

It sounded as if Kelly got off her question without interruption.

The blatant bias bothered me so much, I wrote the following to the “On the Media” correction link:

Today I was listing to the early part of “On the Media” and the reporter purported to run the question Megyn Kelly asked of Donald Trump, along with Trump’s answer.

I was astounded that the tape had been edited to take out Trump’s interjection about Rosie O’Donnell.

That line brought down the House defusing the thrust of Kelly’s question.

You are not the only media to excise the comment about Rosie. The Chicago Tribune did so, too.

Perhaps you could do some research that would lead to more than a correction.

If there are a lot of media behaving similarly, surely there is surely reason to believe those doing so cannot be trusted to cover the election fairly.

I’m for Scott Walker, by the way.

  1. Since when have any of the media been fair.

    The political parties are always rewriting history also.

    We do need honest reporting and figures so we can make good judgements.

  2. LOL!

    I only wish I could edit out Rosie but sometimes, that which has been seen can never be unseen.

    If only there was a Chlorox for the eyes!
