If Today’s CNN Or MSNBC Covered The Attack On Pearl
Harbor…Live, Sunday, December 7, 1941
2 PM EST
CNN Newsroom: “Well there is certainly something happening
here. You can see on the screen there are many planes above Pearl Harbor, many
dropping what appear to be bombs towards the U.S. fleet, some strafing the
airfield. This does not appear to be a drill. Over to Brian Stelter now…Brian,
what’s your best guess as to what’s going on here?”
Stelter: “Well, Don, we don’t want to jump to conclusions or
cast aspersions, but the planes appear to be Japanese ‘Zeros.’ That is not
meant to be, in any way, a comment on intelligence or relative worth we should
add. Nor is it directed at those with limited or no achievements. No hate
speech here. What I can tell you is that this may well be an elaborate ruse by
white supremacists in costume and flying planes carefully made up to look
like the graceful Japanese Zeros from the Empire of Japan, or ‘Dai Nippon
Teikoku’ as the Japanese themselves refer to their ancient and beloved
homeland.”
MSNBC Live with Katy Tur (looks downtrodden): “I am told we
have confirmation that it is, indeed, the Japanese that are bombing Pearl
Harbor. Lawrence, what is your take on this tragedy? Could it be a simple case
of misidentification?”
O’Donnell: “Katy, while that’s certainly plausible, I
believe that we brought the attack on ourselves with our unwillingness to sell
them enough oil at decent prices…capitalism you know. It’s always about
the Benjamins, the cash. Disgusting really.”
The following morning…
MSNBC’s Morning Joe: “We’ve all heard about
the…um…occurrence at Pearl Harbor yesterday, but what we are hearing now is
even more depressing. Apparently, in the wake of the…dust up…many Americans are
refusing to eat at Japanese restaurants. Mika, if that’s true…my God, that’s
horrible!”
Brzezinski: “It’s despicable, Joe. These xenophobic, racist
bigots make me sick! And ashamed to be an American. Sadly, this is the big
story today.”
