NPR Sting Video Was Edited to Accentuate Negative

Huffpost, there you go again!

Of course the tape was edited. Would you want to watch an hour plus lunch conversation? Of course not!
Including only the salient exchanges, does not make the report a lie!

I assumed from the beginning that O'Keefe edited the tape to suit his own goals, just like Micheal Moore and just like the TV talking heads on both sides. The appalling note to me is that the people getting stung don't make any attempt to verify whether the person they are talking to is misrepresenting themselves. How much time do these people waste talking to people for no result? Are they that unprofessional? No wonder the Salahis are able to spin stories getting them into the upper strati of our society! I guess if you make your living spreading BS, it doesn't matter who your audience is.

didn't they make the whole unedited tape available? seems like i remember seeing a link for that... if they were showing highlights, i wish they would be fail and balanced. that would be decent.
it is funny, ironically, pathetically funny, to hear NPR or their defenders complain about unfair editing.
i heard a nice little stickingoutourtongueather piece on the Concord NH vs. Concord MA mistake, but i do not remember any such helpful piece when Chuck Schumer Freudian-slippped out his erroneous three branches of govt. NPR is so biased and monolithic that they only now are even starting to realize they may have an agenda. ...i think we should fund NPR...just reform them to be free of Party affiliation and bias...

Edited or not, what was said was said, NPR not only deserves none of our tax mponey for their leftwing propoganda, they deserve to be investigated for misuse of taxpayer money. And if we are toncontinue to give them taxpaer money, we should send an equal amount to FOX News's right wing partisans.

No matter how they try to spin it; the words were their own. Mr. Schiller put it best when he said "that NPR would be better off without Federal money"; I couldn't agree more.

Edited? Well, now I FEEL so much better knowing that as a Conservative, I could have listened even longer before being scolded and denigrated and ridiculed and diminished as a less than worthy American in the eyes of the ever-knowing and omnipotent arrogant Left NPR leadership. NPR? National Progressive Radio. And nowadays, "Progressive" of course is simply transparent code word for Socialism.

Well ,I guess the salaries that NPR will not have to pay these two will be a start at saving money .After NPR said they would be better off without public funds ....I'm sure they will be granted their wish. I'm sure they can sell more commercials than Air Amerika.

Here comes the attempts at damage control. NPR had better be careful lest they make Juan Williams a very rich man if he decides to sue. The Schiller woman insinuated that Williams needed a Phychiatrist and that was not taken out of context or edited.

You wouldn't know it from the speed with which both Schillers exited the premises. Maybe if they hadn't acted as though they'd been caught in the crime of the century this wouldn't have gotten so much traction. You don't see Newt Gingrich donning sackcloth and ashes over his embarrassments.

No surprise there. These conservative outlets are always looking for a "gotcha" moment and when they can't, they create one.
