NBC Prolonging Its Own Disgrace Over Zimmerman Audio (News busters)

As public awareness and outrage grows over NBC's deceptive editing of the
9-1-1 call made by George Zimmerman during the night he encountered Trayvon
Martin, the television network has continued to stonewall and spin instead of
being forthright and honest.

According to the Reuters news service, NBC continues to insist that the
producer who edited the audio of the Zimmerman did not do so intentionally.
Citing what it said were sources within the network, the wire service stated
that NBC believed the misleading edit to be "a very bad mistake, but not
deliberate."

* * *

At the same time, however, Reuters revealed that the producer is someone who
is "seasoned," presumably meaning he/she has a great deal of experience
editing and putting together news reports.

It's hard to take both of these statements together seriously. You don't need
any journalism experience to realize that cutting out critical seconds from a
recording to create a false clip which makes someone appear to be a racist
(instead of simply responding to a question from someone else) is unethical
and misleading.

Certainly someone who is a "seasoned" producer wouldn't make such an
outrageous mistake. Or has NBC made a habit of ...

News busters

Seniors, do you remember any of the odd little verses and stories we learned as children?

Three Blind Mice
Rock a bye Baby
Hansel and Gretel
Three Billy Goats Gruff
The Three Bears
Little Jack Horner
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
Mary Had a Little Lamb?

Some were cute, but don't you think that some were morbid? And why were so many morbid? Just curious if anyone knows. Thanks in advance for your answers.
Sorry to see some thumbs down, I don't give them.

Yes, a lot of things. One of my very earliest memories is of my Swedish grandfather bouncing me on his knee and chanting a Swedish nursery rhyme. Here it is, in part, with an English translation:

Rida, rida ranka
Hasten heter Blanka.
Vart ska vi rida?
Rida sta och fria
Till en liten piga.
Vad ska hon heta?
Jungfru Margareta
Den tjocka och feta.
Nar vi kom till hennes gard
Sa var dar ingen hemma,
Bara en gammal gumma
Larde sin dotter spinna.

Ride, ride on my knee
The horse's name is Blanka.
Where are we riding?
Riding away to woo a little girl.
What will be her name?
Maiden Margareta
The fat and chubby.
When we came to her house
No one was at home
But an old woman
Who taught her daughter to spin.
