MEGAN MCARDLE: Was there a second gunman in Phoenix? “There is no reasonable doubt that MSNBC cropped the guy’s race out of the video with some extremely weird editing. I don’t know whether the anchor knew about it or not–I presume she didn’t–or why they chose to edit it that way. But the evidence is pretty overwhelming that they did, and that at the very least, the anchor made some stupid and unwarranted assumptions. The guy carrying the gun, by the way, was not a rage-filled lunatic looking to take out the president. It was a publicity stunt staged by a local (libertarian) talk radio host.”

UPDATE: MSNBC deliberately fomenting racism?

Plus, how to complain.
