A funny think happened

on the way to the protest.
[SAVED IN DRAFT "AS IS": RELEASED 3-29-10]

I was going to report to Media Matters Beck's use of a September 2000 clip where(at 2:07 to 2:40) he yells, "Look at this! Far Left!".

I intentionally framed my original protest(speaking of "Hot Standby" including the finger/air quotes)to Media Matters as, "MSNBC let up on Beck!" but now see my own bit too hot of a standby and oops. Incidently, not the oops noted, as that involved other adjustments to my thinking(or spelling), not the thing(sic*) intended.

OK, after yesterday's heavy linked play of words, I had better stand down a bit. BUT...
The September 2009, Pittsburgh G-20 Summit was covered, but the intention of its undercoverage is mixed. So, back to my message to Media Matters(not yet sent and still evolving):
Originally my outrage was over the appearance that it was Sept. 2000, well no one is perfect. Beck still misuses the facts it seems. BUT there is an odd twist which is actually standing operating procedures at FOX. It was a G-20 Summit (2009) and the violence sprung from free speech zones, or the caging of it, so to speak. So I would hate to imagine what Tea Party events might be like if they were corralled or hurded away from a major event or prohibited from getting their message out? It almost seems like MSNBC is attempting Fair and Balanced or is it nuance?
It really seems the mixed intention of the coverage or undercoverage issue fits right in with the fanning or under fanning of messages perspective, not to mention who is running or leading for what.
[Sometimes oops can evolve, sometimes being right don't.]
[Or sometimes you feel like a bloomin' ...]

* flip-flop of intended spelling(this time)
** see the oops of seque(sic)[there]: truly mispelled but I may have no lemony snippets but there might be some natural snickers.

A funny think happened on the way to the "ribble" or on the way to the hint: Trickle Down is the answer to the next Ribble. I will try to review and recapture any unanswered ribbles of the past as I go 4th, and embed the answers in just prior ribbles.
