More ass-covering from a lying leftie member of the MSM. Too funny.
It's all of a piece; they claim racism about everything, and then lie about the number of death threats to support their false racism claim.
Now, they are exposed.
Death threats against this President are not any more than the two previous Presidents, and the objections to his insane Marxist policies are not based in racism of any sort.
CNN's Sanchez Retracts His Claim of a 400 Percent Increase in Presidential Death Threats
By Mike Bates
On August 28, CNN Newsroom anchor Rick Sanchez shared disturbing information with his viewers:
A CNN source with very close to the U.S. Secret Service confirmed to me today that threats on the life of the president of the United States have now risen by as much as 400 percent since his inauguration, 400 percent death threats against Barack Obama -- quote -- "in this environment" go far beyond anything the Secret Service has seen with any other president.
This "confirmed" information, of course, was eagerly picked up by sites like Daily Kos and Racism Review.
[...]
OK, so according to Sanchez, threats against Obama are up. Maybe not 400 percent, but up. Until now.
On today's CNN Newsroom, Sanchez was forced to change his story once more, and tried to wash his hands of any role he played in disseminating bogus information. He began with a video clip of Washington, DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton today questioning the head of the Secret Service, Mark Sullivan.
[...]
NORTON: Please don't assign to me a number in my question. I just asked you if the threats were up. Are the threats up or not, Mr. Sullivan?
SULLIVAN: They are not. The threats right now in the inappropriate interest that we're seeing is the same level as it has been for the previous two presidents at this point.
[...]
The theme that Barack Obama is in greater danger than other presidents because of American racism is a popular one throughout the mainstream media. Don't people like Rick Sanchez just hate it when facts get in the way?
