Salon reporter writes article about CPAC ‘Uninvited’ panel before the panel starts

Ooops!

Meanwhile, as I told you yesterday: The Huffington Post lied about Steven Crowder’s CPAC speech.

Let’s deal with the racist dude first. Is it fair to judge a) the group in the room or b) CPAC as a whole or c) the GOP as a whole based on one racist dude in the audience of a panel on race? To state the question is absurd. At most, you might go along with a) if you were foolish enough to believe Think Progress’s claim: “Several people in the audience cheered and applauded Terry’s outburst.” Immediately after making that claim, Think Progress embeds a video that gives the lie to their description

Did they not take video of the black woman who was supposedly shouted down for merely expressing her opinions?

Of course they did. The fact that we’re not seeing it suggests to me that she was being disruptive — and deliberately so — in order to create a story out of nothing.
