Fascinating, Tod. Was Harper deliberatedly edited to look like a cold-hearted jerk? I wonder.
As for YouTube, it’s a fascinating way for people to gain access to information that would have been very hard to get in the past.

Thanks for sharing this.

I’m inclined to agree with the YouTube clip. Context is an amazing thing. I hate defending Harper – I didn’t vote for him – but hey, he was smeared in this case.

I’d like to see penalties on editors and individual reporters for context manipulation like this. Whether the intent was there or not, any reasonable person should be able to see that the result of the CBC’s editing was misleading. It is the reporters’ responsibility to ensure that their aired work accurately represents reality.

“Editing room errors” should not be allowed to mislead us.

Adler is a total blowhard. Why is that so many Conservative pundits and talk show hosts must be so puffed-up and aggressive?
