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.
