He did that, so they didn't like showing those parts.

I've been a bit of a student of the media's selective editing practices since the 2004 election.

Remember how they would show Bush's best sound bites, and never show the ones where he sounded idiotic?

And then they would show Kerry's worst sound bytes, and throw away his best ones?

Or "summarize" his speeches incorrectly?

It goes on with Dems all the time - media hides what the want to hide. If they don't want to report something, they won't.

Doesn't mean it didn't happen though.
