through an easily verifiable ploy. Only an idiot would not know what editing the tape in that fashion would mean. It was either his/her intent or his/her incompetence. Let him/her defend himself/herself in front of his/her peers. The problem is that it takes away from the true message (just like the fake Bush memos). Holding onto this crap brings down organizations - you would have thought NBC would have learned this by now.

It drowns out the message and brings all news reporters ethics into question. Let his/her peers have a crack at him/her.
