We have to be able to edit video, but where is the line between editing and deception? NBC tells us it has seen the edited and unedited video, but it doesn't show any of it to us. I can't take NBC's word for it, because I must assume that NBC wants the Democratic Party to control the Senate and will run interference for Fetterman.
Surely, we're not required to show the full context of everything. Highlighting the worst lines and the stupidest speech of one's opponents is a time-honored political tradition — and comedy device. Will Twitter empower the already-powerful to take down whatever is edited to make them look bad? That's a terrible idea, particularly since there's no chance Twitter will perform its role with viewpoint neutrality.
As for TikTok, I'm guessing what found its way there and gained viewers was funny. It's unseemly to laugh at a politician if he has brain damage, but it seems unfair to claim to be capable of holding office and, at the same time, to forbid us to laugh because he might lack capacity. If it's wrong to judge him, he shouldn't be running for a position of trust.

Women use videos to see if the guy means well. Men pay no attention to the videos.
If his speech issues are being exaggerated, that will work to his favor in the debates, just as it did for Biden. Except he won't debate because...hmmm
Pshaw. Deception and exaggeration is the heroin of politics.
Let's all get the vapors.
The people who are pushing John Fetterman into this position should be hung from a tree by their entrails.
John Fetterman had a stroke. He is sick and he needs to heal. There are things he needs to spend a lot of time doing to get better.
The effort it takes to be a senator will shorten his life and impede his recovery. He will not be able to do the job properly because it requires a lot of work to do it properly.
But democrats like putting brain damaged invalids into jobs they don't belong because they like using puppets and discarding them when they are unpopular for implementing disastrous corrupt policies.
Democrats are just shitty people.
NBC complaining of edited video is hilarious.
Wait Fetterman's opponents are ruparing him?

Everything NBC presents as “news” is deceptively edited. That’s TV! Does this mean NBC is going to stop showing snippets of Trump out of context now?
Hell no! Deception is their business model.
NBC news is an utter disgrace. These are the same people who knew Joe Biden was an incompetent, mentally failing idiot, but played along with his disappearing act for a year instead of doing some actual journalism and reporting on his failures. Listen to their news today and you can maybe count to 5 before you'll hear them utter the word 'Trump' as if that's all the news in the world...still.
Fetterman is Joe Biden redux. A mentally and physically incapable person being protected by both the Democratic Party leadership and their employees in the media, vying for a position in the US Senate. Even in good health, Fetterman is a socialist child with socialist child ideas and a childish bully's approach to communicating who you would never hire to be the face of your business, yet would fit in perfectly well with the Democrats in Congress. That's in his best days.
He is not currently in his best days. And if our 'leading' news organizations are not willing to show exactly what's going on in Pennsylvania, they should simply admit they are Democratic organizations and continue with what they're doing. I'd be OK with them if they just admitted, Hey...we're NBC News, a division of the DNC.
NBC is lying.
Next up for the lefties: simply declare it is all a result of a lifelong "stutter" for Fetterman.
IMHO, only trained journalists working for legitimate news outlets should be deceptively editing videos.
If you have to have a license to give a dog a haircut, you should definitely have to
receive proper credentials before you can start publishing false and misleading information.
Remember Trump's "There are very fine people on both sides." comment?
It was not only cut off from it's entire context, but it was used for 4+ years to 'prove' he and we are all racists. Except that was, of course an approved bit of video and contextual manipulation by NBC News and their friends around the country.
These people hate when you play by their rules.
Again with the 'don't believe your lying eyes' horseshit. The worst videos aren't edited, he's barely functional.
And that's not even saying anything about the martian Quato latched on to the base of his brain stem revealed when he went sans-hoodie. I swear to god give whatever that thing is the microphone...I bet it can talk.
I can't take NBC's word for it, because I must assume that NBC wants the Democratic Party to control the Senate and will run interference for Fetterman.
Actually we can't take NBC's word for it because it was caught deceptively editing video of GM trucks blowing up.
And audio in the Travon Martin case.
Deceptive editing? I invoke the "fake but accurate" clause in the constitution.
OK NBC....then why won't Fetterman debate Dr. Oz?
NBC(D) goes to bat for their party
NBC(D) goes to bat for their party.

"Deceptively edited" is the trope the left and the Lickspittle Media (BIRM) always trot out whenever incriminating video evidence against a fellow traveler surfaces, even when said video is uncut and unedited. The proper response is "Prove it. Show us the unedited video so we can compare and contrast, or shut up."

Didn't notice any edits at all.
NBC didn't think this was an issue when they were selectively editing George Zimmerman's 911 call. It's almost like selective editing is only good when the edits align with a certain agenda.

As Ann states - NBC doesn't give any proof at all.
What an outrage that people would use the television MSM's own editing tactics!
Temujin - Exactly- NBC "news" will gladly push and exploit altered, chopped, out of context editing - as long as it hurts someone on the other team.
"NBC tells us it has seen the edited and unedited video, but it doesn't show any of it to us."
And that tells you everything you need to know, Ann.
NBCNews is lying. They're doing it to manipulate the outcome of the election.
Why do we allow our news organizations to INTERFERE with our free and fair elections by publishing LIES in the service of the Democrat Party?
That is a THREAT to our democracy. And we must stop them from doing it. By force if necessary.
SHUT. THEM. DOWN.

They have told us what they don’t like, so we should give them more of it. It has been their strategy for awhile now.
As for Fetterman, I don’t think the growth on his neck is deceptively edited. It doesn’t require sound to interpret, and if it did, that would certainly make it worse. Besides. I don’t listen to politicians speak, I judge their actions and Fetterman seems incapable of debating, which is a routine activity for Senators.

NBC News Admits ‘Error’ of Edited 911 Call in Trayvon Martin Controversy (Video)
NBC News said Tuesday [April 3, 2012] it has concluded an investigation into its repeated broadcast of an edited version of a 911 call placed by George Zimmerman that made it appear he was racially profiling Trayvon Martin the night he killed him.
NBC’s Today broadcast the 911 call last week, but its edited version made it appear that Zimmerman blurted out that Martin looked suspicious to him because he was black. The full audio from the phone call, though, reveals that Zimmerman didn’t mention Martin’s race until the 911 operator asked him, “Is he white, black or Hispanic?”
MSNBC has run similar segments with the edited version of the call.
“During our investigation it became evident that there was an error made in the production process that we deeply regret,” NBC News said in a statement e-mailed to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. “We will be taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening in the future and apologize to our viewers.”
When asked if anyone at Today had lost their job or had been reassigned as a result of the investigation, an NBC spokeswoman said: “We will not be commenting on our course of action.”
NBC’s statement comes a day after The O’Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel chastised its competitor for taking so long to investigate what it thought was a simple matter. NBC announced on Saturday it had launched its investigation.
During the O’Reilly Factor segment Monday, guest Bernie Goldberg, formerly a CBS News broadcaster, told host Bill O’Reilly the edited tape was either the result of gross negligence or purposeful distortion to advance an agenda. Video is below.
“Hey Bill,” Goldberg said, “if you or I were running NBC News, the investigation would be over 10 minutes after it began. We’d call somebody in, we’d say, ‘Who did this?’ We’d ask, ‘Why did you do it, what were you thinking when you did it, and did anybody tell you to do it?’ I don’t think they’re investigating it anymore; I think they’ve got a bunch of PR people around a big table trying to come up with a way to spin this to the public and do the least damage to NBC News.”
We have to be able to edit video, but where is the line between editing and deception?
Well, if you're doing an'exposé' on exploding gas tanks on chevy trucks..
It's OKAY to 'edit' the video, to include pyrotechnics inside the fuel tank.. Right NBC?
i mean, RIGHT?
Does NBC mean deceptive editing as in the 911 call by Zimmerman?
Would NBC have done a report warning us that there are videos circulating which have been deceptively edited to minimize the speech issues plaguing John Fetterman? I doubt it.
I'd bet you a nickel, if NBC does air video of Fetterman speaking, they edit it to make him sound better. And if they don't air video of him speaking, it's specifically because they don't want to show him in a negative light.
Famous video (or film in the old days) that was clearly "political":
1. Ed Muskie crying. This seemed to confirm the messages from the Nixon campaign that Muskie was emotionally unstable. His staff claimed there were snowflakes melting on his face. In New Hampshire, which I guess would not be a total shock.
2. Pat Schroeder crying. This one's obvious--men are allowed to cry (at times), women may be unfit.
3. One of my favorites is Bush Sr. apparently baffled by a grocery checkout machine. This was great video in that it seemed to confirm in a second that Bush had never personally purchased a loaf of bread or a quart of milk--he had servants to do this, he was out of touch, not "one of us." His staff claimed he was quite familiar with somewhat old-fashioned machines, but this was a new type. Supposedly he was rightly praising the benefits of technology.
Who exactly are we going to allow to censor such stuff? I always thought it was fun, even if unfair. The media were always looking for signs that Reagan was out of it, and I for one wonder if the dementia was working before he left office. Biden is a feast which his supporters are trying to ignore.
Fox News didn't deceptively edit any of its videos. Fetterman looks out of it.
ANY organization publishing lies in order to manipulate the outcome of our elections is a THREAT to our democracy. A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER.
That's domestic terrorism right there.
It would appear that the same Chinese security agency that infiltrated Twitter may also have infiltrated NBC News. Do you think the Chinese intelligence agencies ONLY target Twitter. Or do you think they ALSO target our "news" organizations? In order to manipulate our elections. That's the threat.
We cannot as a free country allow domestic terrorists inside NBC News to manipulate the outcome of our free and fair elections. We have to ROOT THEM OUT. Identify and eliminate them.
There is no question that NBCNews is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, and that is a threat to this country. NBCNEWS is a clear and present danger to OUR democracy.
They must be dealt with in the harshest of terms, by our military if required.

Manipulation by the Media: Lessons to be Learned from Zimmerman v. NBC
.... The complaint describes three ways in which the 911 was spliced. NBC initially edited the call as follows:
Zimmerman: There is a real suspicious guy. Ah, this guy looks like he is up to no good or he is on drugs or something. He looks black.
The next day, NBC broadcast a different edit:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male.
Two days later, a third edit was broadcast on the Today Show:
Zimmerman: He looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.
What all three edits have in common is that each hides that Zimmerman described Martin as black and as wearing a hoodie only in response to the 911 operator’s questions about race and clothing.
=======
Dispatcher: Sanford Police Department. . . .
Zimmerman: Hey we’ve had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there’s a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
Dispatcher: Did you see what he was wearing?
Zimmerman: Yeah. A dark hoodie, like a grey hoodie, and either jeans or sweatpants and white tennis shoes. He’s [unintelligible], he was just staring . . .
Dispatcher: OK, he’s just walking around the area . . .
Zimmerman: . . . looking at all the houses.
Dispatcher: OK . . .
Zimmerman: Now he’s just staring at me.
[....]
Zimmerman: Yeah, now he’s coming towards me.
Dispatcher: OK.
Zimmerman: He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male.
fet·ter
/ˈfedər/
restrain with chains or manacles, typically around the ankles.
"there were no chains immediately available to fetter the prisoners".
Aptly named, Fetterman has been fettered from the neck up, so he is a typical Democrat.
His opponents take Fettermann literally rather than seriously, while his supporters take him seriously but not literally.
Isn't that how the new rule works?
Making him an object of pity might not end with the results R's want.
Now, I wonder, who posted the deception. NBC frames an apology in a handmade tale.
The media “discovers” attribution, context, editing issues when they work against their partisan interests. When Trump was president anything he reported was accompanied with “Trump said” and usually followed with “without evidence.” When Obama was President an Obama quote such as “The border is secure” needed no such qualifiers.
Biden’s Red Sermon speech was “deceptively edited” in real time by CNN when they realized how Hitlerean it was playing: red became pink. Anything from NBC on that deceptive edit? I didn’t think so.
To be fair media has always been deceptive in crafting narratives. The so-called glory days of objective journalism of “And that’s the way it is” Walter Cronkite were simply bias more insidiously planted to a more naive audience.
The only cure for all this deceptive speech is more speech, deceptive in the other direction. And caveat emptor: Let the consumer beware.
This story is just more harness and buggy makers complaining that cars are hurting their business. NBC used to own expensive cameras, a rare nationwide broadcast network, editing capabilities, and access to experts. Now everyone has cheap and ready access to all those things. That's what galls the networks - they're irrelevant, and they either flat out know it, or they sense it but can't admit it.
They pick the highlights -- or in this case, the lowlights -- the moments when he has trouble. But did they really exaggerate the pauses? I doubt it.
There's a question mark with information like this. Is this NBC bringing all its (remaining) weight behind the charge? Or is it just one random, ambitious blogger trying to arouse sensation and make a name for her/himself and using the NBC website to do so?
Since seeing the media use "hot mic" episodes to only go after republicans like when VP George Bush said he "kicked a little ass" going up against Geraldine Ferraro, I have never trusted the media to be even handed.
Biden proved the basement strategy is a winner because you got the media on your side already and they won't put up a fuss when their preferred candidate is a slurring mess. Just call it a "stutter" then pivot to talking about Trump. Works every time.
Yeah NBC is full of shit. The journalist they accused said, “Here's the first video they accuse me of doctoring. As you can see, nothing is doctored. I simply took things he said during a rally and edited them together into a Supercut.” As Althouse points out EVERYTHING on TV is edited.
Hugh Hewitt played part of an interview this A.M. Cringeworthy, but Pennsylvania probably deserves him. Not much worse than Tim Ryan or Hirono. Look around you... we're living their dream.
NBC didn't think this was an issue when they were selectively editing George Zimmerman's 911 call. It's almost like selective editing is only good when the edits align with a certain agenda. -- Unknown
My thought as well.
NBC(D) - They lie.
They should have a debate between Demented Biden without his speeders and ear mic, Stroked Fetterwoman, someone with BAC of 0.8%, and a person who did a lid of pot.
This "bum fight" would be entertaining AND informative of who is the least impaired.
Actual video of Fetterman is "RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION!!!!"
Fetterman needs NBC and Big Tech to remove videos of him speaking. NBC so far - happy to oblige.
that's all this is about.
NBC claimed, without evidence, that blah blah blah
Democrats are refusing to debate all over the nation.
This is the new standard.
You don't need to know anything about the democrat. Just Obey. and - let the vote-cheat machine do its thing. you know -the thing.
His record is pathetic. His platform is pathetic. His mental condition is pathetic.
"So what!", say the Democrats and their mediaswine consorts. We need the vote to continue undoing American greatness.
Make America pathetic! MAP Democrats.
N.N. claimed: "Making him an object of pity might not end with the results R's want."
What we want is for this literal imbecile (look up that word) to get elected. Years and years and years of demonstrating why you can't trust NBC or Democrats is worth it. We get far more value out of his winning than we do of his losing.
NBC tells us it has seen the edited and unedited video, but it doesn't show any of it to us. I can't take NBC's word for it, because I must assume that NBC wants the Democratic Party to control the Senate and will run interference for Fetterman.
Exactly this. NBC makes the claim, offers no evidence, and says "Trust Us"
No.
Dispatcher: Sanford Police Department. . . .
Zimmerman: Hey we’ve had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there’s a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic?
Black as in attribute? Or People of Black as in bloc?
Zimmerman: He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male.
I would identify him as male, but perhaps of the feminine gender.
After ~20 hours of the, produced for entertainment, Jan 6 show. With hours and hours of carefully edited video. I'm not buying the faux concern here.
We don’t even know which videos on Twitter or TikTok are deceptively edited. NBC smeared all of them.
The tell is always when they don't post the comparison.

But the way that our current regime has debased the perception of what a public servant is the greatest crime here.
Joe Biden is a fucking idiot. He has obvious dementia and they are pumping full of drugs to hide his dementia.
He is an obvious puppet and he is being used by a bunch of shitheads that need to be executed publicly.
So many of our senators and congress people are just such obvious idiots and pathetic people.
We should expect more from the people that represent us. They should be examples to emulate. Instead we have a bunch of decrepit corrupt disgusting people like Mitch McConell and Nancy Pelosi.
We need to stop accepting this.
Was there an exploding gas tank in the edited video? NBC knows all about them.
It is my understanding that Dan Rather is in possession of actual documents which prove GW Bush was AWOL while in the Texas Air National Guard.........
“ but where is the line between editing and deception?”
Depends on where you stand.

They didn't edit video. The lied about the reason the truck started on fire. The caused it to blow up using 1) the wrong gas cap and overfilling 2) incendiary device to ignite the escaping gas. The also said there was a small hole in the gas tank from the crash. No hole.
Waitin', Trying to run the clock
It's four o'clock, make it stop
Tell them, "Take no more"
He practices his speech
As he opens his mouth, panic takes over
Pretends to know as he looks them over
They lie and say they're in love with him
They lie to the Fetter man
His brain stem sputters, he forgot to read
He can't find the letters man
They lie to the Fetter man
They should find a better man
Pretty much the reverse of the Trump phenomenon.
If Fetterman was coherent, you'd be seeing video of him all the time.
"Despite policies on both platforms against political misinformation..."
I wonder if Gov. Wolf will, as a parting gesture, issue an EO similar to the law just passed in CA restricting 'misinformation' as he defines it. Even if challenged in court, unless estopped immediately, it would of course affect the elections here in PA. Wouldn't surprise me if it were to happen.

It's late 2022 and NBC News claims not to understand what a supercut video is.
OZ is very articulate.
The left are terrified he might win.
NBC wants to plant doubt that the videos are real.
Leftist loyalists eat that crap up.
The Russians did it!
How about Katie Couric editing her interview with Sarah Palin in 2008?
The video they ran at the bottom of the article shows that it doesn't take any editing to make Fetterman look like he has a brain problem.
It might be worth mentioning that he accused Oz of being in favor of incest. Seems noteworthy if true.
Deceptive videos? I have two words for NBC - Ford Pinto.

No, it was just an NBC "stutter". That's all.
There is no reason to trust. If NBC wants argue that the video is deceptively edited, then they have to the journalism thing and prove it. But journalism is hard.
“NBC is lying.”
This coming from Drago, of all people.
I remember when you folks had Hillary Clinton on deaths doorstep, how frail she was, how she slurred her words, how she had a stroke etc etc etc . Here we are in 2022 and she is still sharper and more spry than Trump.
According to blogger Jim Treacher (https://jimtreacher.substack.com) the videos are not edited. The ones that make Fetterman appear coherent are the ones edited — you don’t even have to look closely to see the jump cuts.
Given that he assumed that as a mayor he had the right to chase a black jogger with his shotgun, under the racist assumption that a running blacks person had to be guilty of something or another, I have to assume that Fetterman’s mental issues go way back, and predate his stroke.
It is a bad and dishonest thing to deceptively edit videos of politicians to make them sound stupid, uninformed or out of it.
Are they going to apologize to Sarah Palin?
NBC makes the claim, offers no evidence, and says "Trust Us"
They give you their word as a Biden.
Nevermind his speech deficiency, just LOOK at the guy. He is an unholy mess, tatted up slob. The huge growth and man boobs not camouflage by those triple extra large hoodies. Democrats have actually voted for this creature, he is the sitting lieutenant governor after all, says everything you need to know about them. They don't care that he is infirm, he will vote with them. Just picture this slug, wearing his XXXL hoodie on the senate floor. It's laughable. It's inconceivable but this loser actually makes Dr Oz look good and moderate.
On the one hand, all consumers of any media should be wary of such, particularly when something aligns with their desires or concerns.
On the other hand...
NBC reports
Is this the same NBC that edited the George Zimmerman 911 call? Yes? Well then: Fuck Off
Gee, you mean like NBC never deceptively edited a video? Riiight.
Anyone else here think Buckwheathikes is a complete troll, adopting a "conservative" stance, but curiously urging violence against the left?

TIMES STAFF WRITERS
In an extraordinary public apology, NBC said Tuesday night that it erred in staging a fiery test crash of a General Motors pickup truck for its “Dateline NBC” news program and agreed to settle a defamation suit filed by the auto maker.
“We deeply regret we included the inappropriate demonstration in our ‘Dateline’ report,” said a statement read by NBC News co-anchors Jane Pauley and Stone Phillips Tuesday night. “We apologize to our viewers and to General Motors. We have also concluded that unscientific demonstrations should have no place in hard news stories at NBC. That’s our new policy.”
The apology, still being negotiated within five minutes of air time, was part of a settlement of a lawsuit GM filed Monday over film used in a Nov. 17 segment of “Dateline.
What I want to know is, what's that English muffin doing on Fetterman's neck?
“While I agree that NBC News selectively edits its stories, and does so intentionally, I don't think having the United States Military attack them and take them over is the right solution. Where do you think that will likely end up?”

Fake news.
But we do all remember the many times you had Trump at death's door. And you claimed Trump had an incestuous relationship with Ivanka, and you were all over the hoax pee tape. And the hoax russia collusion, and the hoax dossier.
Interestingly, you basically STILL believe every one of those things.
It's almost as if you had not just zero self-awareness, but negative self-awareness so powerful it sucked the self-awareness out of everyone around you in a 6 state area.

Tell us more about what "Mueller really knows" and "walls closing in" and how, just months ago, you reiterated your strong believe in the russia collusion hoax and the hoax dossier.
This should be fun.
My favorite Inga "bit" about all this is how she went silent for months and months and then reappeared, pretended to not ever having cared about russia collusion, and then forgot she was claiming russia collusion was no big deal to then let the mask slip and jump right back into Blue-Anon Conspiracy Central!
Good times, good times.

There is plenty of evidence that the military, especially the high command, is every bit as corrupt as NBC.
I can't remember the last time PA Dems held both U.S. Senate seats and the governorship, except for 2009-10, after Spectre switched parties to run for a sixth term. Really, I wouldn't be surprised if it was never.
Looking more and more like that's what we'll have next year though.
Speaking of "lying", now would be a great time to start "baby stepping" Inga away from her long, long, seemingly endless litany of lies over the last 7 years related to Trump and conservatives in general.
Let's start with a very easy one for any normal person, but potentially a very difficult one for someone like our Inga:
Inga, did Trump improperly feed Koi fish in Japan while with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe?
Remember, you were all over that purposely misleading edit job from all the legacy media outlets and you went to town attacking Trump over it.....right up until the complete footage was made available and exposed the lefty lies.
Even for you Inga, that ought to be a manageable "walkback".
Let's see what Inga does......

Inga must have a different definition of "spry" than anyone else, or she's confusing her chardonnay-inspired delirium for reality.

I remember when you folks had Hillary Clinton on deaths doorstep, how frail she was, how she slurred her words, how she had a stroke etc etc etc . Here we are in 2022 and she is still sharper and more spry than Trump.
Shorter Inga: "Look! A distraction!"
Hopefully, Savanna Guthrie and Lester Holt going under the guillotine blade.
Wicked solutions are the ethical/religious prescription and forte of left-wing ideologies. Hopefully, the libertarian right, and the conservative centrist, will realize a better resolution of crimes that do not include premeditated abortion in darkness (i.e. murder) and other capital crimes against humanity and civilized society.
looks like all journalists and NBC-media has learned about concealing sources and methods from DOJ/FBI even without help of Judiciary as provided in US Constitution.

"Anyone else here think Buckwheathikes is a complete troll, adopting a "conservative" stance, but curiously urging violence against the left?
Just look at what he's saying above."
I agree. He and Wendybar, Jupiter, and others, who frequently post on Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, The Conservative Thinker, Legal Insurrection, and other places, have now moved over to Althouse. They often keep their same names and post the exact same posts here, without reading what Althouse has written or the citations she refers to. They just write to each other in an echo chamber. You will notice that they keep talking about violence and killing our political opponents, like having the U.S. Military attack NBC News and take them over. And using the guillotine on them. They also keep comparing the Democrats to Hitler and Stalin. And all Republicans who don't tow their line are RINOs and/or communist collaborators. It's like they want us to become like North Korea and Communist China with violent attacks against all political opponents. Or maybe they just want to shut down this blog. I hate to say this, but perhaps it is time for Althouse Blog to do a bit more moderation of comments, like it did a while ago, before this gets out of hand. I was a liberal Democrat when I was young, and the first Republican I voted for was Ronald Reagan. But what is happening in the comments section in this blog is not Reagan Republicanism.
I found one of the doctored videos. (I see Tommy beat me to it, but I got video!)
I eagerly await NBC news to push for the release of all the 1/6 footage to provide a more complete picture of events.
Maybe Fetterman can borrow Joementia's Juicers to concoct a helpful recipe, if they have any spare time.
bbkingfish: "I can't remember the last time PA Dems held both U.S. Senate seats and the governorship, except for 2009-10, after Spectre switched parties to run for a sixth term."
Funny.
I see no reason to believe NBC unless there are links to the edited and unedited videos.
"Or maybe they just want to shut down this blog."
If someone/something has that power, that's a problem right there.
Remember that footage of Trump passing out and being tossed into a van like a sack of potatoes? And the Trump people pretended that it was no big deal--he just "powered through?"
Oh, wait...
Sometimes I think Inga is really Tucker Carlson just jerking us around.
Even if Hillary is more "spry" than Trump is now, it doesn't change the fact that she definitely was not in 2016.
If there is so much deception going on, why is he avoiding live television and debates? The guy is having issues, and his campaign is being deceptive about just how serious they are.
“Remember, you were all over that purposely misleading edit job from all the legacy media outlets and you went to town attacking Trump over it.....right up until the complete footage was made available and exposed the lefty lies.”
No. Liar.
Here's an oldie but goodie from Inga in 2017.
Trump's bodyguard testified that there were no hookers in Moscow peeing on beds and it was all ridiculous. But, naturally, our self-proclaimed Mind-reader Knows-All Inga just "knew" better.
Inga...Allie Oop: "Doesn’t occur to anyone here that of course Schiller tried to shoot down the Dossier. Yes he would lie under oath for his boss. No doubt about it."

So much certainty, eh Inga?
Interesting note: Inga STILL believes in that Hillary/FBI hoax dossier. Every bit of it. Passionately.
