Show us the upside-down flag, Lou.
April 10th, 2006CNN’s Lou Dobbs made a big stink over the immigrant demonstrations, which originally featured many Mexican flags. This was clearly an error in propoganda paraphernalia and the protestors quickly switched to American flags. One group of demonstrators stretched out a huge American flag, with many people each grabbing an edge. A TV camera filmed the flag from behind the group, and Lou was quick to point out that the demonstrators were flying the flag “upside down.” He seemed to get some traction with this complaint, so he didn’t bother correcting himself, despite the absurdity of the observation. Below is another photo, highlighted on Dobbs’ web site, of protesters who are clearly not intentionally abusing the flag.
Just another example of CNN’s endless search for decapitated babies and other blatant ratings grabbers.
