Ain't you learned yet?

If it ain't liberally hacked, it ain't true news.

seems they kept control of the flow of the interview in a professional way, through editing so that the answers were fluid with the QUESTIONS being asked

some people edit,

others just SCREAM over their guests and interrupt

tomato , tomato,,, whichever is the preference,,,,

just different techniques to achieve the same goal

Morgan, Maddcow, Mathews, Hayes or the rest of them are such good examples of liberal courtesy on the other hand laugh

No spin involved with Bill O'Bully for sure..... why spin a lie?

They all serve their masters, the corporations that pay them. All MSM news is political propaganda. Real journalism is dead, or some gov't agency will see they are targeted, die in freak accidents, or commit suicide.

They all suck!

there is something to be learned from everyone

either about who they are, or where they are from, or how they feel about others , or how they have overcome their obstacles,,

something to learn from everyone

living is learning,,,

editing video is standard, nothing really exceptional about it

the manner in which people navigate the direction of their interview is likewise nothing really exceptional,,,,,its actually expected of a decent interviewer so the interview doesn't stray too far from topic



now some interviewers will do that during the interview, through screaming or interrupting, some are more polite in their interruption simply explaining that they interview must stay on track, and others just let the interviewee speak freely and edit out the irrelevant portions,,,


whether they 'suck' or not,, well, that's a personal opinion I don't really engage in,,,,,

How do you figure that when the media is the engine that powers practically ever aspect of society!

This line is the biggest crock of steaming crap! Guess you have never heard of Edward Bernays huh?

That's like saying a nuclear bomb only weighs a 1000 pounds. So therefore it doesn't have the power to wipe out an entire city or even county?

Editing video that deals with news, manipulating the narrative, is what Edward Bernays was all about! Shaping public perception and opinion!

no, I haven't heard of Bernay

and editing video is STILL a standard process, its even a JOB POSITION ,, editor,,,,,applies to video too,,

so, when I ask someone, lets say, about their feelings on euthanization laws, and I have 30 minutes worth of show, and 5 minutes of interview time,, I cant let them go on for 10 minutes with the details about how they saw a dog get hit by a car

the interview has to keep some direction and focus, and its the interviewers job to maintain that,,,,and sometimes the editors job to correct it when the interviewer hasn't,,,

Engaging your brain before comment can be helpful.

So it's ok to edit news to fit the agenda?

So, if the news is "A gunman shoots and kills 20 kids in a math class...." it would be ok to edit it to say "20 kids in a math class....", completely editing out the gunman and death, calling it news?

no more than editing any news article for content to fit a political agenda in lieu of the actual news.

The OP example was blatant! It placed Obozo in a bad light by a US Senator, both representatives of the people, in the same gov't, but they edit one to save face of the other.

That's not editing, that's manipulating!

the interview was not about the state of the union address

the interviewer would have been being manipulated had he allowed a question about division in the tea party to turn into a discussion about the upcoming state of the union address,,,

Have you totally lost your mind? What planet are you on at the moment?

I can tell you, it ain't this one!

Who even mentioned the SOTU?

The post is about blatantly editing comment with bias to support an agenda or party

Of course in this case it's of little matter. Nobody cares what that old corpse Schieffer has to say anyway. If he couldn't read his teleprompter he would be too drunk to have an opinion to broadcast

Editing a video is common, but deliberately editing out something you do not agree with is bush league.

the type in the article is poorly edited as well, it starts off about schumer and then ends up about cruz, my eror

but even still, the question asked took four seconds

will you run for president?
it was a yes or no question, not a prompt to try out his political campaign ad on the public,,,lol


he went on to what he doesn't like about the administration, the question was not about the administration, it was about HIS PLANS and what HE would do


he answered the question 'what concerns you about this administration?
which wasn't asked,,lol

1) the video has nothing to do with Schmuck shoemer, it was soely about Cruz.

2) The question was whether or not he (Cruz) would run for president which he answered in a round about way by saying "what concerns me right now is..."

Name me one politician that doesn't campaign when a mic is in their face! It's a given, the networks know it will happen, expect it, and allow for it.

However, this was not a live interview obviously, and they chose to edit it due to the senator being a repulsicon rather than a demoncrap.

If someone asks if you are going to run for office, you give an answer. His answer was edited.... manipulated.... proof of bias in the reporting ethics of that network, and against all that media journalism stands for...... unbiased reporting

They obviously had no defense for what he said about the POTUS, so they just cut it out to avoid having to try.... something that corpse Schieffer couldn't do on a good day....actually argue a point

Nothing new for liberal networks.

He was asked if he intended to run for president.


The deleted part is as much, if not more, about why he should or should not run for president than the unedited part.

the video is apparently cruz, the article quotes SCHUMER and also mentions questions from Cruz, its poorly edited ,,lol


and the answer was not a 'round about' answer, it was a totally different topic..

its like if I asked a husband,,

'honey, are you going to do the laundry?' and he says

'well, im gonna focus on fixing supper. What concerns me about a vegetarian diet is,,,


lol, its a YES, NO question, the interviwer made it clear it was meant as a yes or no question,

most likely one of the last at the end of the time they allotted for the interview (which we cant know since the op themselves EDITED to show only a select 1:54 to support their 'agenda')


if you notice, not only was that part of the answer edited ,but the interviewer CLARIFYING the type of question was edited out too

they were looking for a short answer to 'are you running'

it really is SIMPLY yes , no, or I haven't made up my mind,, question,,,

he gave an answer and information about what HIS focus was, that was the end of answering if he was running

what was wrong with someone else, was not the topic ,, HE WAS
