The BLAZE Editor: Further Analysis Finds Deceptive Editing In NPR Sting Tape

[kaz]

Wow, a savings of $258M.

Will the GOP swing for the fences and take out a whopping 100 billion out of our $1.5 Trillion deficit?

Can you show the quote where the GOP said the intent of defunding NPR was about budget cuts?

Daily Kos: OMG: James O'Keefe's NPR Sting Debunked By Glenn Beck Site

The daile kos ? Really ?

 

[Charles_Main]

The GOP is at it again. Americans want jobs. The GOP promised jobs. But what is the GOP wasting time on? Defunding NPR. It's so important to them, that they called an emergency meeting on the issue. All of this despite the fact that O'Keefe's fake sting video has been debunked and called deceptive by Glenn Beck's The Blaze website editors.

Where are the jobs, Mr. Boehner?

GOP: EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, NPR Is Funded by the GOVERNMENT -- Daily Intel

Today, House Republicans will call an emergency meeting of the Rules Committee to take on an issue of near-catastrophic importance: the $90 million in funding that annually goes toward supporting National Public Radio. The meeting will center upon Republican congressman Doug Lamborn's bill, rushed to the floor without traditional hearings due to its importance, that would bar the government from funding NPR and its affiliates. (The House already tried to de-fund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which also supports PBS, but the Senate blocked this.) The White House and Senate have already agreed to eliminate $50 million in planned increased funding for the CPB, but Lamborn wants to focus directly on NPR in the light of conservative activist James O'Keefe's doctored "sting" video and permanently ban funding for the radio network. It's not likely his efforts will meet with success in the Senate and White House, who in this matter seem to have a different definition of the term emergency.

Not only has it not been "Debunked" by anyone other than Far Left Defenders, But the incident in the Video is just one Straw of many with NPR. simply put, a network, with such a clear Bias toward one side of the American Political Spectrum, has no Place getting Tax Dollars. They can get along just fine with out it.

I am amazed that liberals are in denial that NPR did anything wrong.

 

[SgtMeowenstein]

The video and audio have not been "debunked." No matter how many times you repeat it.

Yes, No matter how many times you cry and say otherwise, the video and audio have been debunked and called deceptive by Glenn Beck's The blaze editors. That's a fact. Read it and weep.

Does Raw Video of NPR Expose Reveal Questionable Editing & Tactics? | The Blaze

Of greater concern, though, is how the video is edited at this juncture.

So after saying that the MEAC website advocates the “acceptance of Sharia,” the video cuts to the NPR exec saying, “Really? That’s what they said?” The cadence is jovial and upbeat and the narration moves on. The implication is that the NPR exec is aware and perhaps amused or approving of the MEAC mission statement. But when you look at the raw video you realize he was actually recounting an unrelated and innocuous issue about confusion over names in the restaurant reservation.

Schiller’s negative comments about Republicans and conservatives have gotten a great deal of attention.

He clearly says some offensive things, while being very direct that he is giving his own opinion and not that of NPR. Still — a wildly stupid move!

But you may be surprised to learn, that in the raw video, Schiller also speaks positively about the GOP. He expresses pride in his own Republican heritage and his belief in fiscal conservatism.

NPR exec Ron Schiller does describe Tea Party members as “xenophobic…seriously racist people.”

This is one of the reasons why he no longer has a job!

But the clip in the edited video implies Schiller is giving simply his own analysis of the Tea Party. He does do that in part, but the raw video reveals that he is largely recounting the views expressed to him by two top Republicans, one a former ambassador, who admitted to him that they voted for Obama.

At the end, he signals his agreement. The larger context does not excuse his comments, or his judgment in sharing the account, but would a full context edit have been more fair?

You may also have seen a section of the video where Schiller describes liberals as more educated than conservatives. But the raw video shows a section where Schiller is hesitant to criticize the education of conservatives and the other executive, Betsy Liley, is outspoken in her defense of the intellects of Fox News viewers.

Anyone looking at the edited version of the Project Veritas video would be concerned about the conduct and views expressed by the NPR representatives. But should we also be concerned about the deceptive nature of some of the video’s representations? Some will say no — the end justifies any means, even if unethical. Others may be bothered by these tactics and view similar projects with a greater degree of skepticism.

I'm amazed that cons keep saying NPR did wrong when the video supposedly proving their wrongdoings has been debunked and called deceptive by a con webrag.

I guess I give cons too much credit. They don't really care about the truth. Just partisan hackery.

He asks "Where are the jobs Mr. Boehner?"

Did you not pay attention to us in the tea party when we spoke? STOP looking to the government for your well being.

If you wonder why you don't have a job, ask your former employer. Ask your mom. Ask your teacher. Ask yourself. Don't ask politicians whom you've never even been in the same building with.

GOP Seeks Limits on NPR Spending - Washington Wire - WSJ

On short notice, House Republicans held a hearing on a proposal to ban all federal funding for NPR programming. GOP leaders have fast-tracked the measure, calling it another way to end wasteful spending.

“Taxpayers should not be on the hook for something that is widely available in the private market,” Rep. Doug Lamborn

and the description of HR 69 put forth by Republican Doug Lamborn:
News Articles for H.R.69: To prohibit Federal funding of certain public radio programming, to provide for the... OpenCongress

H.R.69 - To prohibit Federal funding of certain public radio programming, to provide for the transfer of certain public radio funds to reduce the public debt, and for other purposes.

Not that I'm against the cut as much as how what is being cut is done in such a partisan fashion. I would like the Republicans to cut everything, and not just the objects of their obsession.

Cons don't know what to do about this. They want to believe everything the far right tells them, but then when the far right says the video is deceptive, their heads start spinning and all they can do is deny deny deny, even with the indisputable proof right in front of their eyes.

 

[mnbasketball]

The video and audio have not been "debunked." No matter how many times you repeat it.

WOW, you can't accept the truth if you suck it down your throat can you.

I just watched what was said and saw that the slimy republican blogger did in fact doctor the tapes and made it to look like what was being said, was actually what people like you wanted to hear when it wasn't.


HE DOCTORED THE TAPES DUMBASS GET OVER IT< YOU GUYS WILL DO ANTHING TO GET WHAT YOU THINK SHOULD HAPPEN. Hell this was even debunked by GLEN BECK no less.

Boehner said the American people want jobs. The GOP ran on jobs and the economy in 2010. Since the GOP has focused on conservative ideals instead of jobs, my question is a relevant one.

By the way, ass wipe, I have a job. I've had the same job for over 10 years. And I don't even live in my mother's basement. Now what, asshole?

 

[mnbasketball]

What was debunked? DId the NPR guy not say that stuff?

No not in the way it was portrayed. He was talking about two right wing voters who said in the first time in their life's had voted for Obama. They said they never in their life's thought they could do this but because of the right wing of the tea party republicans were crazy.

So your blogger left out everything about him repeating what was told to him and made it look like it was his view that he made up.

Once again the right goes crazy just like they say the left does.

Fox & Friends Whitewashes Problems With O'Keefe's NPR Video

But The Video Was Deceptively Edited "To Intentionally Lie Or Mislead"

The Blaze: "Undercover Reporting" Can Be "Acceptable," But "It Is Another Thing To Approve Of Editing Tactics That Seemed Designed To Intentionally Lie Or Mislead." On March 10, Glenn Beck's website The Blaze published a report comparing segments of the edited video with the original raw footage. The analysis found that many of the segments presented Schiller's comments misleadingly or out of context.

But in the shorter tape, Schiller is also presented as saying the GOP has been "hijacked" by Tea Partiers and xenophobes.

In the longer tape, it's evident Schiller is not giving his own views but instead quoting two influential Republicans -- one an ambassador, another a senior Republican donor. Schiller notably does not take issue with their conclusions -- but they are not his own. [NPR, 3/14/11]

==============================

Something too dirty, even Glenn Beck couldn't stand by and watch right wingers do their dirty evil AGAIN.

Right wingers on this very board still talk about O'Keefe's other ACORN tapes as if they were true. Once you plant a seed in one of those tiny minds, it sprouts and that's all they know. They will repeat it endlessly.

Worse, Fox is still pushing these edited tapes as the "real deal".

What exactly is the foreign owned Fox agenda? Owned by Australians and Arabians and they print lies and doctor tapes and photos. What is their goal and why does the right cling to every lie? I don't get it.

I thought that maybe you were talking about this:

So Schilling never said NPR doesn't need Federal funding and would be better off in the long run without it?
