So I watched FNS this morning. When Chris Wallace announced the next segment would be about the video, I anxiously waited to watch it. But the panel and Chris Wallace didn't talk about it much, they never brought up that it might be edited (it was). They talked about the value of the tissues. Heavens no, they would not want their faithful viewers know they might have been deceived (they were). This is I guess, is the "Fair & Balanced" way. This is Fox News version of 'fair'.
The statement I highlighted from you was false. Jane Harman stated "There is some issue about whether that video was doctored, whether that's exactly the way it happened."
You seem to be under the misguided belief that if a video is presented in an edited form, that it isn't valid... Edited videos are a service to viewers. They are created to highlight the few minutes that are important, so viewers don't have to sit and watch for hours to see them. That's all that took place here and from everything I've seen, the edited version of that video did not misrepresent what that woman said.
There is one more issue that Chris Wallace brought up that I hadn't heard mentioned before:
"The doctor is clearly talking in that thing (the video) about, I can crush it above and below... That's manipulating an abortion.. manipulating the fetus in an abortion, which is flatly illegal."
You can argue whether or not they are making a profit or not, but how can you argue this one? Even Harman had to agree with Chris Wallace that it appears she was talking about manipulating an abortion.
...and one last thing. The PP video issue is important to millions of people on both sides of the isle, just like you and I. But if those millions of people wanted to hear it discussed on the Sunday political talk shows they had to watch Fox, because ABC, NBC and CBS didn't deem it important enough to discuss this morning.
