NewsBusters 5th Anniversary: A Look Back at Some of Our Top Posts That Broke News

As part of the 5th anniversary celebration of NewsBusters we have started a weekly Five for Five feature to list the blog’s top twenty five posts. Last week, we looked at the top five posts of embarrassing media moments. Today we continue with the top five posts that broke news. We have picked out a couple posts from each of the five categories and asked the authors to reflect back on writing them up. In this series of short videos, they share their thoughts on how they caught the particular media moment and describe the impact their post had. We continue our video look back by reflecting on two of top posts that broke news: “Hillary Shot At in ’96? No Media Mention of Bosnia ‘Sniper Fire'” by Rich Noyes and “MSNBC: ObamaCare Protesters ‘Racist,’ Including Black Gun-Owner” by Kyle Drennen. Check out last week’s video of NewsBusters’ Matthew Balan and Geoffrey Dickens remembering some of the top posts embarrassing the media.

Some Almost Racist Watermelon Soda of the Day

Here is an example of people being bored as shit and trying to create issues out of nothing. The story goes like this, dudes go into a store in Harlem, they find a can of Watermelon soda with the face of a black girl on one side and a white kid on the other, and they decide to milk the black girl and call this company out for being racist, when the real racist is the asshole who thought it was racist to begin with because of the stereotype that black people like watermelon, which for the record they do. If I saw a black girl eating watermelon on a can of fuckin’ soda, the last thing I would think is that shit is fuckin’ racist, but instead think it’s affimitive action, cuz if they put a white bitch on the can, the black people would call the company racist for not including black people in their packaging, like they did with Barbie and every other toy out there.
