Is this for real?


Accurate quote or smear job?

SHARPTON VOWS MORE: 'It is our feeling that this is only the beginning. We must have a broad discussion on what is permitted and not permitted in terms of the airwaves'...

I have a problem here. Except for an unlinked quote on the Drudge Report (which I copy/pasted above), I haven't been able to find a mainstream news source for this quote. And yes, I know it is pushing it calling Drudge mainstream.

The most reputable source that I have found so far is this bit from Rush Limbaugh, and that will disappear behind his subscription wall on Monday afternoon.

As I see it, there are three likely possible reasons for this.

One, Sharpton did not say this and it is part of the conspiracy to discredit him.

Two, he did say it but news outlets all over the country did not see it as newsworthy.

Three, he did say it but the news is being sanitized.

If it is real, then it is hard to see what Al Sharpton is calling for except widespread censorship of the news. Except for modern liberal and progressive content of course.

So tell me, which one do I assume? How do I cover the story?
