Rep. Clyburn Associates Media With Nazis for Covering Government Scandals
How dare we air his dirty laundry
Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the third-ranking House Democrat, on Wednesday accused the U.S. media of spreading "manufactured controversies" that pose dangers similar to the propaganda spread by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
Speaking to "The Morning Briefing" program on Sirius XM's POTUS channel, Clyburn accused the modern Internet-based media of misrepresenting the statements of people in order to hurt their reputations.
"You have people's words and phrases being misrepresented and looped through the news media and thrown out there on the Internet, and people run with it because these things start getting reported in the mainstream media, and before you know it, people believe that stuff," Clyburn said.

He probably includes all the media who misrepresent George Zimmerman / Trevor Martin / Stand Your Ground, because to do otherwise would be dishonest Nazi Fascist propaganda, no?
