Is NBC reporting news or making it?
The NBC news show, “Dateline NBC” has raised the ire of NASCAR during its’ latest investigative report. Operating from results of a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll that NBC apparently found ‘intriguing’, the show has launched a nationwide look into a (reportedly) growing anti-Muslim sentiment in America. [In a side note, CBS will investigate why NBC is operating from data collected by ABC. FOX has declined to get involved, simply stating that this administration is doing one heck of a job.] Dateline sent Muslim looking men (otherwise known as Muslims) and camera crews to the NASCAR race held in Martinsville, VA last weekend to capture the reactions of fans to their presence. As with most ideas originating from NBC, nothing happened. The fans had no visible reaction to their presence, although when they left the race the Danish fans came out of hiding. NBC is confident that their reporting teams are pursuing this alleged anti-Muslim sentiment in America story in a fair manner, and that this is just the first of many stops in this story. While NBC may feel confident, we in the Doghouse don’t share that sentiment. Why? NBC has apparently repressed the results of previous, less than satisfactory, undercover sting operations….
- Who can forget the tragic results of Macaulay Culkin’s investigative report into excessive use of Soul Glo among members of the Harlem Boys Choir?
or this dismal idea...
We at the Doghouse only hope that the people with NBC will gain control of this latest venture before it too gets out of hand.

When I first heard this story I thought why not try this stuff at any other even than Nascar which is a sport where most fans are white and most are from the south.
But later I remembered this is America where the majority of the people are going to judge people by thier race. I think it is wrong of NBC to try this anywhere with any race.
Good Job Nascar for not taking the bait!
I think it’s another pathetic attempt of the media to stir up trouble. Having attended numerous NASCAR events (mainly the last 5 years) I have never seen anything racial take place. NASCAR fans are unique IMO. They follow a driver or a particular product and support all those that follow suit. I’ve always been surprised at the camaraderie among the fans. Fans just don’t label other fans within this sport.
