“Duh! All Television is Edited!”
This isn’t a new video from us, but we decided to pull this interview with Andrew Breitbart out from our archives because it achieved new relevance after the Shirley Sherrod situation (Read more here: http://nyti.ms/cZbxAt).
It’s long--twelve minutes--but we wanted to leave it unedited to make a point.
BREITBART ON EDITING
Breitbart talks about the media and his philosophy on editing:
“They kept hammering: ‘these tapes are heavily edited, heavily edited, heavily edited.’ ‘Propaganda!’ … people with a sense of fear going ‘Oh my God, these tapes were heavily edited.’ Duh! All television is edited!”
He also says that Barack Obama was elected as a result of “selective editing.”
MAKE A MASH-UP
We are giving permission, and encouraging people, to make a mash-up of Andrew Breitbart’s interview and edit him to say, well, whatever you want. If there is a really good one, we will put it on our website.
BREITBART ON OBAMA
While Breitbart at first says that conservatives can criticize Obama on the issues--without a need to look into his history--he then says that Obama’s history was unexplored by the press, and that had the public had more information about it, they wouldn’t have voted for him. Asked for what that information was, Breitbart can only cite things which did come up in the media--Bill Ayers, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and so forth. Oh, and Obama is a Marxist. Surprise.
BREITBART ON MY FAKE JOB
He is also strangely befuddled by my (decidedly non-liberal) University--Wright State, out of Dayton, Ohio--and tells me to come back to him when I “get a real job.” (I am a fake American living in fake America with a fake job.)
This NEW LEFT MEDIA video was shot by Erick Stoll on April 15, 2010 at the Tax Day Tea Party protest in Washington DC. Interview by Chase Whiteside.
