There is editing and there is slanting... Editing to get to the point and slanting to force the viewer into a dishonest opinion... This is where FAUX News Shines... They are masters of Spin...

If the liberal TV media was up front and honest these last 40 years then there would be no need for Fox News. Those who disagree with this statement must be too young to remember the pre-cable days and or deaf and blind. They all edit, they all scour shots either to embarrass or reward. Newspapers do the same and always have.
