Seems there are questions of possible editing mishaps in that NPR tape. Hmmm…..let’s see – it is the work of a well-known conservative activist who has already been involved in some questionable activities.
Unfortunately, the damage has been done – so the truth is no longer required. Or is it?

Remember another infamous conservative activist who released a videotape just to have questions of its editing ? The end result of that little fiasco was a lawsuit.
Hmmm……
Hit them where it hurts the most – their money belt?

Why do organizations continue to overreact to this nonsense and why do James O’Keefe and “Project Veritas” (barf) have even a shred of credibility left with anyone on this planet?
Two very good questions.
But then again – gossip can travel around the world before the truth even puts on its shoes.’
Unfotunately, our media is so bent on being the first to get anhy scandalous scoop – that truth takes a back seat.
As for the credibility – I consider their targeted audience. For the most part, these are the same people who faithfully listened to Rush Limbaugh and laughed at his joke when he compared a young Chelsea Clinton to the White House dog.
If that level of humor is their targeted audience – then the truth does not have a chance to be heard and one’s credibility is never questioned.
Two very good, yet disheartening, answers.
