Fox News Caught Repeatedly Cropping, Manipulating Video
Posted By: sm on 2009-05-06

Hey, kids! Do you ever get tired of Fox News' crops? I don't mean the food
they might be literally growing, in Glenn Beck's Doom Room, in preparation for
Imminent Socialist Panic. I'm talking about the way they manipulate video to
make it look like people are just straight up saying the opposite thing they
actually said. Well, it's been bothering the media critics at Media Matters For
America for some time, and they have, for a long time, been cataloging "examples
of Fox News hosts and correspondents cropping comments by progressives and
Democratic political figures in a manner that misrepresents them." A new mash-up
video offers some side-by-side examples of what they're talking about.
Some constructive criticism? I think the third example -- Obama's "empathy"
criteria for Supreme Court justice -- isn't the best example of a Fox cropping.
While it's certainly true that Major Garrett's statement, "That aggravates those
who feel that justices should follow the Constitution and legislative intent,"
seems to neatly ignore the fact that Obama's next statement was "I will seek
someone who is dedicated to the rule of law, who honors our Constitutional
traditions, who respects the integrity of the judicial process, and the
appropriate limits of the judicial role," the fact is, just about every news
organization honed in on the "empathy" part of the statement. It became the
sound bite from that press exchange.
In a more lengthy report, however, Media Matters has other candidates that
are fitting examples of these games with videotape, well worth reviewing. Key
examples include Sean Hannity's intentional omission of Obama's admonishment of
Europeans' "casual...insidious" anti-Americanism to make it look like Obama was
apologizing for the United States, and Wendell Goler's splice-happy report that
made it look like Obama was in favor of "European-style health care," when he
was actually specifically opposing it. Also close to my heart is Fox's
misleading insertion of an out-of-context Joe Biden clip into a report, for
which the network eventually had to apologize. At the time, I opined:
It's very sad, and weird, because Fox News would have made their point just
fine if they hadn't included the misleading part of this clip. All they've
really done is demonstrate that they do not have enough faith in their own
editorial premises to avoid bolstering them with falsehoods. But more to the
point, whoever is responsible for putting this video together needs to accept a
new prevailing reality, that stupid little lies like this will be debunked and
exposed very quickly, so they may as well just cut out this nonsense
entirely.
Yet they persist!

Coincidence - people are manipulating the market
DH has been working in the stock market for close to 23 years now. He knows how it is manipulated. I used the same argument to him that whenever Obama appears on TV it goes up. He told me it has nothing to do with that (even though he supported him). He said remember back to the campaign and whenever John McCain was ahead a little in the polls or there was good coverage of him (whetever little there was) the stock market went up and when Obama was ahead in the polls or news the stock market went down. He has two computers. One he watches the market and the other computer he tracks the news all over the world, so he sees what affects and doesn't affect the market. He told me that it's just a coincidence with Obama in the news and the market on the rise because that is the way the media is making it look. He said there are literally thousands and thousands of bankers, investors etc (including overseas investors) that are pourind and dumping millions of dollars on different things to manipulate the market and that's what causes the ups and downs (of course DH takes 3 hours to explain this all to me), but that is it in a nutshell. He said just coincidence. - Darn!
greedy, manipulating, selfish, conniving,

Hillarious video...Old video of Obama roasting Rahm

Why do you need repeatedly compare us?
This is so very curious. I never said I was anything like her at all, she never said she was anything like me. She and I don't know each other and neither of us really have a lot in common aside from a few basic beliefs. Why have you chosen to compare us? Why not compare me to Democrat, LVMT, Gadfly..... I guess that's about all that post here anymore,,,,,what is your point in doing this? It seems like it is a platform to repeatedly put me down. But really, you can succeed in doing that without dragging other posters in on this charade.
I have no desire to compare you to anyone and then perseverate and perserverate on that point. Yes, please, find a different horse to beat or whatever it is you are doing.
The administrator came on ONCE not REPEATEDLY and she came on all boards.
She did not say to stay off the boards. She said not to slam posters. Now, if you can manage to take a second of your time and check out the conservative board, you will see the same thing is taking place there. The only difference is that they are not whining about it. Get real.
Another neocon lie. GT has repeatedly tried to debate
in an intelligent non-bashing manner, but you people can't stand that.
Just go to page #11 and see the posts on 7/20 and 7/21 where she took MT's abuse, let it roll off her back and tried to debate with her, watched as MT was close to having a seizure and then told her to chill.
Reading the archives is interesting. LOL. Even see one where MT denies being a conservative and then says she'll never post here again. 
Obama has said repeatedly he will RAISE
xx
Why do you suppose he was asked repeatedly
Why do you suppose he was not able to give any? Did you not notice that his facts were not straight (as in false claims) about a governor being a commmander in chief?
I am curious. Why does JM get a pass when he refuses interviews but when Obama does it he is the devil incarnate? Can you say hypocrisy?
No, but they have repeatedly reported the anchor
@
Obama has repeatedly described himself as a Christian.
I'm going to take him at his word, not that it matters much to me which religion he practices. What matters to me is his character, and I'd put that way above some that I've witnessed on this board.
America is NOT "only" a Christian nation any longer. America promises freedom of religion for EVERYONE, not just Christians.
Do YOU stone your children for straying?
How about slavery? (My guess is you're in favor of that one.)
He was just pointing out that sometimes literal translations of the Bible aren't applicable. In other words, he made sense. 
Kind of tired of being repeatedly baited....sm
by the hit squad. This is old news.
You're doing just fine by yourself.
Insanity is performing the same action repeatedly
and expecting different results. What makes you think the Supreme Court is going to find any differently than every other court... He was born in Hawaii & is a citizen, and nothing is going to change that no matter how many stars you wish upon.
You have been requested REPEATEDLY by the administrator to stay off this board.
....exceedingly simple rules as put forth by the owner of this board. Please tell me what the problem is. Is that part of being a conservative Republican?
Repeatedly, JTBB has constantly "LOL, ROFL" at
nm
Her point is that Obama voted repeatedly against tax breaks for the middle class and suddenly he'
the middle class person's best friend! Funny how now he wants to help us, when each time he had the opportunity to, he voted against it.
A video FUN political video.

I caught that too.. Don't know if he
intended for it to come across the way I took it, but it felt like a dig to whites. Disappointing.
I caught that
I just can't stand to watch Keith talk about anything because he always misses the point. That was my point, which you missed, just like Keith.
She wasn't *caught* in anything.
Stop lying. You lose all credibility when you do that.
Biden Caught In A Lie
Posted on September 4, 2008 by nuke
This really couldn’t have come at a worse time for Joe Biden. Speaking on Fox and Friends, Sen. Biden, the Democrat VP nominee denied reports from ABC news that if elected, he planned on pursuing criminal charges against the Bush Administration.
“That’s not true. I don’t know where that report’s coming from,” Biden told Fox & Friends.
Here you go Joe. See if this jogs your memory just a bit.
Poor old Joe. I expect the “Dump Biden” movement to pick up steam in the next few days.
h/t FreeRepublic
yeah, i caught that too.

I caught this last night. Wow,
Obama would be wise to find a place somewhere for Mr. Pickins as an energy advisor -- he's got it all figured out!!
Hmmm....why are you so caught up in what's on
--
I caught the nasty racist
little dig there. I got that you were saying that Obama is ahead but his being black will doom him. I didn't miss your sneaky way of signalling your fellow Rothschilds.
Corrupt Obama caught in the act.
How's this for abuse of power?
While in the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama sure seems to have played footloose and fancy free with the taxpayer's money, to the benefit of his own circle of family and friends.
A $25,000 grant to his first cousin.
$100,000 for a garden for one of his campaign workers
$100,000 for Father Pflager to badmouth Hillary Clinton from his pulpit.
$75,000 to FORUM, a group who helped Obama pay off the debt from his failed 2000 Senate race.
Yeah, THIS is the guy I'm going to trust with 'changing' the way government does business.

Obama caught red handed.....
He finally said the words "SPREAD THE WEALTH" when asked by a plumber about raising his taxes. THe plumber told him he could not afford to have his taxes raised because that would keep him from being able to expand his business, EMPLOY more folks, etc. Obama told him yes he would but ONLY to help "spread the wealth" and make it fairer for others. That man couldn't care less about small businesses. If that isn't about the most ignorant/self-absorbed/SOCIALIST thing I have ever heard. Anyone who still thinks he's a good deal needs a reality check.
Even the Wall Street Journal says his policies are going to put businesses OUT OF BUSINESS because they cannot afford these ridiculous policy mandates. This man is looking out for only one people and definitely NOT the country. Now, he is going back and asking his "advisors" to REDO ANOTHER ECONOMIC POLICY so the one everyone is jumping on as WONDERFUL NEWS...be advised, it is changing again!!!
He is now wanting MORE money to give to MORE people so we can keep MORE PEOPLE on the welfare roll. KEEP IT UP BUDDY.....SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM!!
I caught this deceit during the last debate
When Obama was asked if he would sign the ban against partial-birth abortion he responded he would if there was a clause allowing it in cases where the mother's health was at risk. Those of us who lived through the ྂs will recall this jargon effectively legalized second-into-third-trimester abortions under any circumstances--A physician had only to sign a form stating the woman's mental health was in jeopardy. I remember the actual coercion involved as it happened to someone very close to me, and--hate to admit it--I worked in an abortion clinic for a short time. Planned Parenthood and other "pro-choice" organizations are in reality pro-killing mills that are allocated federal and state funding according to the number of abortions they perform. It's to their obvious benefit that they "counsel" women towards the termination of their pregnancies.
Obama is slick and tried to slide that one through unnoticed. Beware.
I think I hit a nerve because you get caught in errors often
...if you want to succeed in this business
I didn't really have an intention. That post just caught my eye. nm

.Pesky. Hard to get rid of.
I caught a clip of Bill O'Reilly
chewing Barney Frank a new butt during an interview. He basically told him to claim the blame instead of trying to push it on others and called him a coward. I was just sitting on the couch with my mouth open in shock. I'm glad someone told the stupid SOB though. Needless to say, Barney Frank didn't get to say much. Also, if Barney Frank got all that money from these banks, why can't he afford to get some dentures on the top? I can't stand to hear him talk. PUT SOME TEETH IN! SHEESH.
Caught parts of it today on MSNBC sm
Heard that she would not do the script they had planned for her. What snipits I saw were not that complimentary of her at all. Oh well, just curious, don't think she likes to be "caught up" in anything, ignoring interviews, etc. Couric made her look bad and Couric is for Obama, I believe. Just keeping eyes and ears open, not much time left to decide. Not looking good for her as of now.
Oh brother - it amazes me how many are caught up in a fantasy
.
You caught me, so that would make you Dickwad Cheney.

Caught an ad-Barney Frank is going to be on O'Reilley
tonight or Thursday night? I think BF is a glutton for punishment. I hope, but doubt, BF will answer some questions instead of blowing smoke again.
Caught him on Larry King one night last week.
He's a very funny and intelligent man....
I especially enjoyed the real refreshing lie I caught him in the other day...did you catch it?
...no, guess not...no one in the media called him on it either.
Here, let me give you a hint. Obama said that all of the conservative and liberal economists agreed that his economy recovery plan was good (or would work, or something like that).
The lie being that "all the conservative economists" part.
That was one, big, fat, honking lie.....no one even blinked and took his word for it.
My DH says there's at least a half dozen conservative economists out there that don't agree with Obama...and yet....if Obama says they do....everyone believes him.
He lies and you don't even know it, he's so smooth about it.....
But some of us know he does...lie that is......he's getting real good at talking both sides of the issues, so that if something does or doesn't come to pass, he can say I told you so....or whatever needs to be said to save his you know whatsis.
I think he's learned a lot from the Clintons lately, don't you?
You caught me, I just "lurk" here waiting to pounce on you. Now who's paranoid?
I post when the discussion moves me or when I read something completely hilarious, like you who's who in Gay America list.

video
Anyway, I tried again and am working on it. It is me, gt, who posted this link. I did not use my initials cause I did not want to distract from what this video states and shows. I did not want to be linked up and bashed over this video. I just thought maybe you all would find these videos worthwhile to view. Anyway, I have an email out to a friend asking why I cant post the link on this site. Hopefully, she will get back to me soon, however, like I posted in the previous email, you can contact me at my email address Siouxtears@yahoo.com and I will send the link as it works via email. GT
New video on jib jab
There is a new video poking fun at everyone.....Bush, Cheney, Hillary, Obama. LOL. You might check it out for a little chuckle.
Better yet -here's it on video
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=N8QCkgg5Kjo
I didn't think anything of it at first but after watching the video it's just a little odd.
This video sure does take you behind
the scenes of the candidate that has been romanced by the mainstream media for so long. Very insightful. Thanks for posting.
BTW: Any bashers out there, flame away, but I won't respond. You guys are despicable lately. All you want to do is snuff out those not on your bandwagon, and I ain't getting into it with you because I have better things to do with my time. I was pretty interested in your guy too, at first, but the more I learn about him and his policies, as well as who he is as a person, the more educated of a voter I am to know that he is not the right candidate to lead this country. Try watching this video - it just might make you think twice. And, no, I am not into FEAR tactics, just FACTS.
As an American, I wish all of my fellow American MTs a great day!
Here is the video....
watch it and tell me again that the Democrats are not responsible and two of the most responsible are STILL in the banking and finance committees presently working on the bailout that THEY made necessary.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5tZc8oH--o&feature=related
sorry about the video
sorry i know it has an impact. but i think it needs to be viewed. I was hoping that so many would get on there and watch that. I was so hoping that it would make someone, at least one person, say wow, i didnt realize and now I am going to have to be against it. I dont know how anyone can watch that and not change from it. You have to be so cold inside.
Does video lie?
There was a video of the reporter asking the people and that was the answers they gave. I can't remember the station, but I don't think it was Fox.
The video I saw
pretty clearly showed MO initiating the contact, and QE slightly shying back, before stopping.
There is an endearing story told about Queen Elizabeth. A dinner guest unfamiliar with the custom mistook his finger bowl for soup, picked up a spoon and started to eat it. QE, also picked up her spoon and began to eat hers.
Moral: It wasn't really soup. The guy was still an oaf. The queen was simply being gracious.
He did not. I saw him on video saying
