FOX 'News' Edits Out Palin Hockey Boos

Even though Philadelphia Flyers hockey fans booed Sarah Palin from the very instant she was introduced, FOX 'News' claimed the reaction was "mixed." To make their case, they posted a video on FOXNews.com that:
  1. Completely edited out Palin's introduction, when fans booed her most loudly (the booing let up a bit as her daughters took the ice).
  2. Edited out a 27 second stretch during which which loud boos and some applause could be heard, presumably to allow the video to jump straight to the applause after Palin dropped the puck.
  3. In the video FOX did show, they used very poor audio quality, making it hard to discern the boos.
Here's a side-by-side video of the original broadcast and every moment of the FOX video up until Palin and her daughters start to leave the ice:

The boos are actually WAY worse than what they sounded on the video that was posted about it yesterday. Listen to the video from the crowd that I just posted...it's actually so loud it's almost deafening.

“I’ve been warned that Flyers fans, they get so enthused, that they boo everybody at the drop of the puck,” she said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Saturday afternoon. “But what I thought I’d do is I’d put Piper in a Flyers jersey, bring her out with me. How dare they boo Piper!” - Governor Palin

eek: Why would she have subjected her daughter to that in the first place? They were not BOOOING Piper......

I can't believe she said that. I was wondering what kind of spin she was going to have to say about this...unbelievable.
