To be clear, programs - including The Daily Show - routinely air edited versions of pre-taped interviews, mainly because of time (Stewart's unedited interview was roughly 24 minutes while the on-air version was roughly 15 minutes). But it's hard to imagine that Stewart's five-second reference to Sammon - a Fox News executive and boss at the DC bureau where Fox News Sunday is produced - was excised just because of time.
They own the network. They can edit the piece any way they see fit. Did it materially change the interview or make it misleading in some way? nope.
Would you guys be singing the same tune if MSNBC snipped out part of a comment by a prominent conservative?
The whole argument is silly.I hope Johnny boy isn't the one pissing and moaning about this....if so, he shouldn't have gone on the show in the first place.

Hey, that's the argument being used on another thread regarding editing.
Well I saw the entire segment and haven't changed my original impression of the interview which I thought was very good, especially being that Stewart is a moderate Leftist.
