Help kids with cancer? Reid asks: 'Why would we want to do that?'[W:97]

poweRob said:
Sure... let's see:

There's photoshopping images of politicians they want to demonize:



Then there is the swapping of video footage to push the narrative that the Wisconsis union rally's were violent by showing rally footage from a California rally... No there was no disclaimer saying they did this... it was he palm trees that gave their lie away.


If you want blatant lying other than the ones that happen ever damn day there is this court case where they felt it important to legally win the right to lie.

If you want more evidence just turn on The Five or the morning idiots. They pull stuff right out of their ass and it's generally angry bullcrap they just make up.

So next time any of you Fox News lovers want to say "all media does that..." you have to go dig up this kind of **** I just posted above.

I surmise he never thought anyone would challenge him ... or he'll believe anything anyone feeds him ... there's a lot of that going around.

Did you ever think it was odd that in the Youtube clip you provided, Reid doesn't say the "why would we do that?" line until 1:07 in a clip that lasted only until 1:14?

Meanwhile what he said from 17 seconds to 55 seconds in the clip does not show up in their piece until the bottom of the article?

God knows why you folks are being so dishonest here.

did or did he not say this "Why would we want to do that?" followed directly after the 2nd question "If you can help one child who has cancer, why wouldn't you do it?"

what difference does it make what he said before the second question

If Fox wanted to be deceptive like you are feebly trying to claim they were they wouldn't have mention any of the previous statement by Reid the subject of the article was the second question and his answer

Yes, his immediate response was that it was picking and choosing what parts of government stay open and which do not, insinuating that they were not doing enough and that they were "obsessed" with Obamacare.

As Bash later pointed out to viewers, the President, Reid, and others ensured that military pay was reinstated, which put a dent in Reid's rhetoric, but established again that Democrats thought that Republican antics were not going far enough to restore the government to its operating capacity.

It doesn't matter. Harry Reid is a Democrat.

If he was caught red handed eating dead babies they'd blame it on Fox News

This thread is like something out of a piece satire.

IMO, Harry Reid is a PoS and needs to be booted out of office. Fox's deceptive lying bull**** isn't necessary, lacks morality and integrity in those who wish to call themselves journalists.

Yes he did.

But without the majority of the conversation, it does not put the comment in proper context. "Why would we do that?" to Reid, in effect meant:

Why would I accept a piece of legislation that only funds one segment or another of the government, bit by bit, while others don't get funded so that you can attack Obamacare in the process?
 
Fiddytree said:
First he states that it was explained by Chuck Schumer and others.
Then he says this:
"What right did they have to pick and choose what parts of government can be funded. It's obvious what's going on here."

Then he discusses it being about Obamacare.

Then she reiterates again the question and then he finally says what Fox News apparently claimed he "immediately" said.

You didn't even watch it then. Because at around 40 seconds in that video it shows the video segment of Fox & Friends where Steve Doocy broadcasts those images in his segment.

You are in deeeep denial and flat out lying to yourself if you believe you don't see that.
 
Context is the Republicans' enemy and Americans are sick of it.
They see it with the shameless antics with our Veterans and now the other piecemeal mini-CRs.
And then there is the PoS Cruz and his Bataan death march.
Sounds like his GOP colleagues would put him through one of his own.

Actually, I did watch it several times. I only have HD TV's, and even on those, when I'm on the lower channels everything is distorted depending on my picture settings...

just proof that people will screen capture and photo shop Fox coverage and try to use it as evidence that fox lies

are you trying to imply Fox did anything to the Harry Reid vid? is that your implication is that your point?

Yea and ABC/NBC/CBS/MSNBC/AP/WAPO are the bastion of journalistic integrity or something #smh

People like you play the same game with cable news that you do with both political parties. The words came out of Harry Reid's mouth, yet whenever something like this happens with a Democrat, everyone has to "defend Fox News". I don't watch Fox News. I don't watch television and I heard/saw what Harry Reid said. You don't need Fox News to see what Reid said.

You always insinuate you're above the fray but I never see you demand your pals defend MSNBC if they call republicans terrorists, anarchists, ect with bombs strapped on their backs or lie repeatedly and get caught peddling blatant lies and propaganda. Where's your digging into that? Where are the links if you care about honesty and integrity so much?

Interesting. Looks like the shots against Fox are the only defense for Reid. Seems like Fox was on point.:peace

You going to do that? Really? You are going to say that it was natural tv distortion? A distortion where just those guys are distorted unintentionally while everything else looks fine?

You are saying this video did not happen?

I give you exactly what you ask for and you are still going to deny it. How bizzare people are.

And I backed up mine whole hog video and all. Good luck disproving that.

its the typical liberal tactic to distort and distract set up a straw man argument to derail the thread its in their liberal debate handbook for dummies and when that tactic doesn't work next they will pull out the race card

What would the benefit have been? Media Matters is well known for attempting to bring down those media outlets with whom they disagree...

I think Fiddytree handled all that crap rather well and yes... they did. They chopped the video to destroy context and demonize who they don't like. It's a loooooong pattern with Fox.

Your denial is too deep. You get the exact video proof you asked for and its still not enough. I think we are done here.
