Pathetic: Black 4-Year-Old Misquoted to Sound Violent
Needs Plugin: Flash |
Not Working?
A CBS news station is under fire after it misquoted a 4-year-old boy making him purposely sound violent on the air.
In the video, the child tells a reporter from WBBM that the shootings don't scare him and that, when he grows up, "I'm going to have me a gun."
The comment made it seem like the streets of Chicago had a future criminal on their hands. But the comment was taken out of context as the station only aired the comment and not what came after.
"I want to be a police officer," said the kid. WBBM TV's reporter responded, "Well then you will have a gun for sure."

Hard to say whether that is incompetence or intentional.

Not hard at all, if it was live and he got cut off, MAYBE it would be incompetence and that's a big maybe. This however was edited then release with FULL intent, there are no accidents with media. If you happen across media incompetence it would be that they gave out real or useful information that was supposed to be withheld.
