Misleading The Blaze Headline Appears To Attribute Racist Quote To Alec Baldwin

» 111 comments

Earlier today, we reported on the Twitter war of words between actor Alec Baldwin and fiery conservative pundit Michelle Malkin, sparked by Malkin’s mockery of Baldwin’s activism for the late Troy Davis, and escalated by the actor’s return volley. Along the way, Malkin retweeted several vile messages that came, not from Baldwin, but from other users angry with her. Readers of The Blaze, however, might come away with the impression that Baldwin tweeted a racist attack on Malkin, if they didn’t look too closely.

Tensions were running high last night, as many people awaited news of now-executed Troy Davis‘ fate, so when the never-shy Malkin tweeted some ridicule at Alec Baldwin (she tweeted “Waiting for Hollyweirdo @alecbaldwin ‘s “I am Troy Davis” tweet…), Baldwin responded by asking followers to tweet “that great thinker @michellemalkin and ask her what killing a potentially innocent man does to make you safer.”

He followed up by calling her a “world class, crypto fascist hater,” which is confusing, because who doesn’t hate world class crypto fascists?

In any case, Malkin began to retweet some inexcusably vile, racist, and even threatening tweets she received after Baldwin’s tweet, one of which ended up in The Blaze’s headline, which reads:”‘Go Give Someone a Pedicure Chink’: Alec Baldwin Leads Twitter Attack on Michelle Malkin Over Davis Execution.”

The offending tweet isn’t explained anywhere in the body of the piece, appearing only in the form of a screenshot in the middle of a torrent of Malkin retweets. It’s also worth noting that the person who made the tweet in question was not one of Baldwin’s followers. The headline strongly suggests, if not explicitly says, that the racist tweet was sent by Baldwin, and the accompanying post does little to clear that impression up.

Trying to pin unhinged, anonymous tweets (or comments) on a big name is nothing new, but it’s a weak move. On the other hand, Baldwin later tweeted the too-ambiguous sentiment, “Right-wing bashing is the most American thing you can do.”

He also continued to go at Malkin this morning, tweeting, “I wonder if @michellemalkin will push the needle in herself on a man the former FBI director said might have reasonable doubt on his side.”

Whatever lines you think Baldwin crossed, though, he didn’t make that racist tweet, nor any of the inexcusably violent, racist tweets that Malkin passed along to her followers.

Update: The Blaze has updated their headline to read “‘GO GIVE SOMEONE A PEDICURE CHINK’: ALEC BALDWIN FANS ATTACK MICHELLE MALKIN OVER DAVIS EXECUTION,” although there’s no evidence in the article, or the Twitter timeline, to suggest that the person who sent that tweet is a fan of Alec Baldwin.

    Hey, Tommy, why is Michelle Malkin a “conservative pundit” and Alec Baldwin not a “liberal activist/actor”?

  • Jason

    Hey look, a libtard is defending the indefensible… again.

    Let me guess, it was Malkin’s fault when this brainless sack of shit called his own daughter a “thoughtless pig” in a screaming tirade only an unhinged moonbat from Hollyweird could manage to whip himself into…

    am I about right, schmuck?

  • Anonymous

    TRUTH!

  • Ralph

    That headline makes liberal racism ok? The real story here is that Baldwins liberal followers are racists. Racists, Racists, Racists. See there, that’s all we hear from you liberals. If you have common sense and disagree with you libs, you must be racist. That is your narrow-minded logic. We know who the real racists are. Race baiters like Baldwin, Sharpton, Obama, etc. and the sheep who beleive them.  

  • Jason

    Ya, twitter is lame, but in the end how much more lame is it than what were doing?

    Let’s keep things in perspective. Also, i’m not sure Malkin wants to take a phone call from Alec or his racist liberal friends.

  • Padfoot

     It’s also worth noting that the person who made the tweet in question was not one of Baldwin’s followers.

    Maybe because Alec has made his living as an actor while Michelle Malkin has made her living as a pundit.

  • NDanielson

    You mean Malkin actually does her own research, and Baldwin has his research done for him? I see.

  • Anonymous

    Yeah, there are some that try to engage in discussion..others just want to argue. I’d rather discuss. Even though I probably don’t see eye to eye with Malkin (or Baldwin, for that matter) on a number of issues, I’d still rather talk it up than I would verbal backhanding.

    The whole social media thing is cool because it connects people, but like text messages, it emboldens them as well…gives them a platform to say things they may not normally say face to face.  How many guys have dumped their girlfriends (or vice-versa) using SMS?

    I’m not a fan of Baldwin or Malkin but that is one misleading headline.

    If Bashir/MSNBC did that I would call them out but I don’t expect that from the teabloggers because they are mostly dishonest scumbags.

    After spending a few hours defending the headline they all look like morons now that the Blaze has done the right thing and corrected the headline.
    But there aint no correcting a teabagger.  They never admit wrong doing even when after apologies and corrections are given from their own side. 

  • NDanielson

    I don’t know, sweetpea, does someone who has made his living as an actor know how to use google? You made the point that he made his living as an actor, for some reason, is that to prove how smart he is, or that he, therefore, cannot be not a liberal actor/activist and huffpo liberal pundit?

    Apparently The Blaze has changed that headline so Tommy you can rest as your’s was a job well done…  But none the less Baldwin is still a typical lefty scumbag!  If you look at his Tweets he pretty much instigates a nasty little attack on Malkin and incites his wacked out followers to join in, simply because she has a political philosophy which differs from his

    Baldwin has no control over his outbursts, he is a disgrace and to think that he thinks that he may run for Mayor of NY…  funny thing is is that you lefty loons just might elect him..  LOL..  that would be funny.  

    Hey Tommy, I did not read all his tweets,  did he call her a “Rude thoughtless little pig”?.

    Actually that is a totally insignificant piece of information and it is indicative of the typical Tommy Christopher misdirection ploy.

    Now, the truth is that Alec Baldwin implored people to harass Michelle Malkin, and the liberal racist who made the “chink” slur was acting directly at Baldwin’s request.

    Another day, another “right wing hysteria run amok” column by Tommy, the boy who cried wolf.

    Although I wonder if we should listen to Tommy this time, given his apparently expertise on misleading headlines:

    “CNN/Tea Party Debate Audience Cheers Letting Uninsured Comatose Man Die”

    http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnntea-party-debate-audience-cheers-letting-uninsured-comatose-man-die/

    Anyone who knows this story knows how misleading this headline is because it wasnt the audience as a whole, it was basically one person.

    So what is it going to be Tommy? Are you going to hold fast to your argument that headlines should be succinct and accurate, and accept the same criticism from your story just a week ago, or are you going to allow reasonable nuance into your position and accept that however misleading you think the headline of the blaze story was, those quotes are not attributed to Baldwin himself?

    That would be unlike your story, which never specified that is was just a very small portion of the audience, if not one single person, who cheered about the guy in a coma…

    But I guess Tommy proves that its easier to attack than to be accurate.

  • ChrisG

    “vile messages”

    “inexcusably vile, racist, and even threatening tweets”

    “unhinged, anonymous tweets”

    ” he didn’t make that racist tweet, nor any of the inexcusably violent, racist tweets”

    You totally missed these quotes?  It wasn’t that long of a post…I think Tommy is pretty clear in his condemnation.

    It’s also pretty vile of the Blaze to use a misleading headline to imply that these tweets belong to Baldwin.

    I can’t believe you and eight other people actually believe that. Padfoot’s point is totally relevant. You say the truth is Baldwin implored people to harass Michelle Malkin, and assert that the racist was acting directly under Baldwin’s request. If you read the story you see that Baldwin asked his followers to tweet “that great thinker @michellemalkin and ask her what killing a potentially innocent man does to make you safer.” So the point is relevant in that this guy was not a follower, who the tweet was directed to, of Baldwin’s, nor did he follow through on the, very specific, request of that tweet to ask Malkin the question.

    I read the story and realized immediately upon seeing the ‘colon:’ before the words, “Alec Baldwin”  that it wasn’t Baldwin’s words, but comments made on his Twitter account. There were no quotes around the statement, which would have attributed the comment to Baldwin.

    “Readers of The Blaze, however, might come away with the impression that Baldwin tweeted a racist attack on Malkin, if they didn’t look too closely.”

    So basically, you’re assuming that people are stupid, standard protocol for blogs with an inflated sense of worth. Reading the headline makes it obvious that Baldwin incited — and he did — a volley of tweets which resulted in racist insults thrown at Michelle Malkin.

    To people who don’t have shit for brains, it’s yet another chronically of the racist left. But unlike the claims about the opposing Tea Party where people say “we’ve seen signs!” you can actually go and count the tweets here.
