Look Closely

by digby


Before the press runs wild with this latest "scoop" from the wingnut documentarians, I sure hope they ask to see all the footage. They forgot to look closely at the ACORN videos or they would have seen that the "pimp and ho's" dialog had been dubbed, so nobody knows what they were really saying. This latest bombshell was so heavily edited it's impossible to take it seriously.

These little gotcha vids are fun and all, but they are also bullshit. The right is now reduced to relying on all manner of hoaxes, denialism and Big Lies and while it's entertaining and all, the media really does have an obligation to get the story straight.

I'm not holding my breath.
