The ROMNEY-KOCH Handshake: Network TV CENSORS Revealing Moment

[Segami]

DemocracyNow.org - When Mitt Romney walked down the aisle toward the stage Thursday night, among the people whose hands he shook was the conservative billionaire and major political donor David Koch. But it was a moment missed by the tens of millions of viewers at home. While Democracy Now! was there on the floor and captured the handshake on video, the networks cut away just before the handshake to show footage of two enthusiastic young women supporters, and then an overhead shot of the convention center. Then, the shot came back to Romney shaking hands further down the aisle as he ascended the stage. Groups in the network of David Koch, and his brother Charles, intend to spend nearly $400 million ahead of the 2012 election. When David Koch sat down as a member of the New York delegation Thursday night on the convention floor, Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman attempted to ask him a question. While he started to answer, the delegates and security around him stood up, one by one, creating a human wall between them. One of those who stood up was Ed Cox, chair of the Republican Party of New York and the son-in-law of President Richard Nixon.

1. My question is WHO gave the ORDER to cut away just before the Romney-Koch handshake?

[Scuba]

2. Exactly. Obviously the owners of the "liberal media" didn't want this seen...

... and it's solid evidence that the networks are anything but a "free press".

3. My guess is the RNC cut the pool feed to all the networks..

4. What are THEY afraid of? Koch is a Romney donor/supporter.

The Romney camp is obviously concerned that such a KOCH 'bought-and-paid-for' image could possibly resonate negatively with independents.

5. download

We need to download the image and blow it up and post it where it is very very visible, with the statement David Koch being thanked by his boy!! I would love to put it in windows of Dem headquarters and Obama Hdqtrs. It will bring in more volunteers, more money and inspire the volunteers we have to work harder, smarter, and longer.
