Bright, blue . . . Huffington Post got tricked

[doobs]

This is pretty funny.

The Huffington Post has learned that the below video has been doctored. We regret the error and apologize to Mr. Gibson. John Gibson never compared Eric Holder to a monkey with a bright blue scrotum. Rather, as seen in the unedited video below, Gibson played audio of Holder saying "nation of cowards" -- so his full, unedited remarks were:
"We were talking about Eric Holder today on the radio and his comment that this is a nation of cowards."
The video was doctored to include Trace Gallagher's voice saying, "bright blue scrotum" where Gibson played Holder's "nation of cowards" remark. The Huffington Post does not know the source of the video's doctoring.

Am I the only one who thinks the combination of bright, blue scrotums and the Huffington Post's gullibility is funny?

If they got fooled then thats pretty funny. Now, when compared to GOP House members speaking about 5 billion to ACORN or 30 million to a mouse in CA that aren't anywhere near true, its probably not such a big deal.

HuffPo is a news and editorial aggregator for progressive liberals.

I thought Arianna's take on Davos was unbearably trite, but it turns out maybe Davos wasn't so important. It's just a placeholder for an ongoing non-process.

I was amused if also unsurprised to see an explicit pro-enviro editorial line become de rigeur in Huff Po. Progressivism is silly that way. It takes sides. At least the bias was honestly disclosed.

C'est la guerre.


Take your stand. Be a tabloid.
