Media Matters caught in major tape-editing hypocrisy

Posted by: ST on August 7, 2010 at 8:28 am

Mediaite catches Media Matters doing the same type of editing they endlessly slammed Andrew Breitbart for allegedly doing on the Sherrod tape. It ended up being so embarassing for MM that they issued a “correction.” LOL. Their target? The evil Glenn Beck, one of their original targets in the Sherrod tape controversy – even though he was one of the few pundits who urged caution at the time rather than jumping to conclusions.

Wonder how many folks on the left who were so “outraged” over Breitbart’s alleged edit of the Sherrod tape to the point they were demanding an apology that they will never get will also demand an apology from Media Matters? After all, consistency is important … right?

    Left or Right-you have to use common sense when you talk about other people. Sometimes agendas get in the way of the truth. Neither side of the political spectrum has a strangle hold on the truth and it’s verified by the actions of some like Breitbart. You can find examples on the Left too.The truth comes before anything !:d

    Yeah, but this is obviously so different. After all, Beck IS a conservative, you know, and…

  3. The left has no arguments against conservatives that will hold water on their own. The only options for them are name calling and lying because they have no values and are all about power and control. They are desperate and teetering on the edge of irrelevancy.

    No, you just don’t get it. When WE do it, it’s journalism.

    Because of our high professional standards, and all, you see.

    Media Matters was just exercising its journalistic responsibility to deliver news in a way that the proletariat can understand.

    Heh.

    It has occurred to me that the theme song of the jackass party should be “The Great Pretender(s)”, since that is what they are so good at and nothing else (unless hoodwinking, lying, stealing and lying again count).

    And this is a perfect example of most of their pretending.

    They even pretend to have lives, most of which are incredibly incomplete without some poor schmuck citizen to order around and harass.

    Ummmm I am under the understanding that Breitbart never actually edited this video. He posted what was presented. If that still holds true, it is a HUGE difference that actively working to make someone look bad. – Lorica
