How do you edit a clip from that to that!?

It would sound so butchered that it would never have gotten past the head producer before it got to air.

Wow, a journalist held accountable? If only that standard applied to all of them...

How do we know that they were saying this?

Because other people were also taping the protest.

Good to see that actions can have consequences. If every dishonest reporter/producer were fired there would be a lot of dead air on tv. Thankfully.

Because the story has been covered extensively and you can watch/listen to both the video and the edited video. I suspect that there are many who don't want to know because the rightwing media showed the edited video extensively when it came out. It is now part of the parallel reality.

Instead of lecturing people you may want to simply point them to where a supposedly unedited version of the tape is.

What? What are you talking about?

The news director and producer got a 1 and 2 day suspension for a news story that was false. The should be held legally accountable for their false reporting, when they knew that they were manipulating the story to create a false image.

Hands IP is different than Hands UP.

How do you edit someone saying “till killers” to sound like “ so kill”?..”so” and “till” sound nothing alike

I listened to the so-called original tape. I don’t hear the protestors chanting the “cell block” comment. There’s not enough syllables to match the alleged longer phrase. My hearing is bad, but not that bad. It is not beneath the lying, lunatic, liberal, left to fake a fake, and then say “Faux” News is the one who edited a tape.

My poor abused ears can’t tell what they’re screeching. I wonder how many of them really were saying “kill a cop.”

Freepers, please don’t be like the stupid left wing morons; this has nothing to do with FOX News or right-wing media.

Thanks for the link.

To my ear, it sounds like they are indeed saying "so kill a cop" instead of "until killer cops".

But then the last phrase doesn't make sense.

I’ve listened to the long version of this video, which has since been deleted, and after 3 or 4 chants, the “until killer cops” line absolutely does morph into “so kill a cop”. I first saw this story on daily kos and they had the long version along side the fox story version. The long version has been deleted. This lying crowd doesn’t want you to hear it.

Slowly the media is coming under increasing scrutiny. Given its obvious bias this scrutiny is good and may it increase. People should examine who owns, manages and controls the individual media entities. The actual people and their antecedents, education and all other social variables.

What about that CNN news crew that said Michael Brown had his hands IP and begged for his life?

I believe they were promoted...

Sure sounds like it.

And they fired two people because of it.

Wow.

Scary time to be an honest reporter...a policeman...a freedom loving US citizen.

Yes, I know honest reporters a rare. And this is an example of why they are rare.
