The Magical Bigotry Tour....

Michelle Malkin has a scoop in which NBC Dateline put out an "all call" for "Muslim-looking" Muslims to parade around a NASCAR track in search of trolling for bigoted remarks!!
"It is outrageous that a news organization of NBC's stature would stoop to the level of going out to create news instead of reporting news," Poston said. "Any legitimate journalist in America should be embarrassed by this stunt. The obvious intent by NBC was to evoke reaction, and we are confident our fans won't take the bait," he said.

Thing about it is, NBC admits that it was trolling for a story:
The NBC crew was "apparently on site in Martinsville, Va., walked around and no one bothered them," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Wednesday.
Not only has NBC admitted this ridiculous stunt, it vows to continue its search for anti-Muslim sentiment somewhere in America:
We were intrigued by the results of a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll and other articles regarding increasing anti-Muslim sentiments in the United States. It's very early on in our newsgathering process, but be assured we will be visiting a number of locations across the country and are confident that our reporting team is pursuing this story in a fair manner.
Yep.. trying to manufacture a story in a quest to portray Red State America as a bunch of hayseed bigots is their idea of reporting in a fair manner. And then they wonder why they have absolutely no credibility?

So, if you live in "red state," NASCAR America, look for the NBC magical Bigotry Tour in a honky-tonk near you.



The thing is, if they want to really find some bigots, the only place they need to search is in the nearest mirror. They may even find that elusive "fool on the hill" at the same time.
