Huffington Post Smear of Gibson Uses Doctored Video!

Huffington Post readers and watchers were shocked and angered when HuffPo posted a video from FOX News on their website. Here are some of the comments people posted after watching the video:

Quote:
  • FOX continues to prove it is part of the most racist network since the KKK
  • John Gibson should be fired.
  • These guys are unbelievable. Racism and Gibson's fixation for blue scrotums together would baffle when Freud himself.
  • this is not surprising john gibson is a bigot and has never denied it.
  • i hope Keith Olbeman has a special comment about this isses!!!
  • Keep digging Faux, just keep on digging yourselves into a marginalize racist pit of despair.
Watch the video here.

There is just one problem with the video. It was doctored.

Jeez, FOX News has enough bias without having to make stuff up to prove it. When you doctor a video like that in order to conduct a smear campaign against someone at FOX News, you become worse than FOX News itself.

HuffPo has apologized. They damn well needed to.

The video was removed.

How long has it been since Gibson even worked for Fox?

Gibson does a radio show for Fox. And the doctored video can be seen in its entirety here:

Breitbart.tv ‘Bright Blue Scrotum’: Viral Video Hit Smearing Fox News Host Is Based on Doctored Audio

I don't think there's anything particularly significant about this story... other than the growing problem of doctored media of all sorts... photographs, videos, and audio. And the continuing exposure of increasingly sloppy journalists. What's real and what isn't? With the tools available to any 13 y/o these days, I'd say any news professional ought to do their research before commenting on anything they see or hear on the Internet.

Re: Huffington Post Smear of Gibson Uses Doctored Video!

The real question should be..

How many times do they need to be caught either distorting facts or outright making them up before the intent of Huffington Post is clear to all?

Their intent like most Far Left sites akin to them is to demean discredit smear and malign anyone that does not have the political leanings they decide are right..and they will do that in any manner necessary.


Its bad enough that people buy into their crap after all this time..whats worse by far IMO is that some news agencies use their stories as sources for what they report.

Re: Huffington Post Smear of Gibson Uses Doctored Video!

Seriously, though, what is an apology in a situation like this? It says "I'm sorry we got caught. We'll be more careful next time.".
