but, but, but she never did anything racist... she helped the white farmer and the white farmer said she wasn't racist. PWNED AGAIN, .
What were the consequences to Breitbart for promulgating a straight-up film hoax re: ACORN?

I agree with Frum. Not only will Breitbart survive this, he probably won't even get dinged.
straight up film hoax?
Those poor ACORN people!
The hoax revelation was far removed from the actual ACORN incident. In this most recent case, it was virtually instantaneous.
However, you're probably right.
LOL....She said she was a racist. You s can't get past that one fact. She admits she was racist. Is she a racist today? Maybe Barry knows more than we do but we all know she was a racist, her words.
Their gullibility was truly pathetic, but do you really deny that there was selective editing at work?straight up film hoax?
Those poor ACORN people!
Yes, the video is telling. He was misquoted.
Will there ever be an apology? I really doubt it. The left cannot admit to making a mistake except against their own.
Above video with time index at 8 min 1 sec.
Breitbart's failure to detect the hoax in L'Affaire ACORN or the selective editing here, does not seem to have impaired the credibility of his outlet.
Quite the reverse: it recommends him to a party faithful that pretends it is just now being degraded by the kulturkampf it enthusiastically embraced thirty years ago and fights to this day. The big difference now is that the outlets more or wear their party affiliation on their sleeves, whereas once upon a time they took pains to decently hide it.
The tabloidization of the press continues apace.
DId I miss something about the acorn story?
LOL...
they are claiming that there is no ACORN problems because any editing of that tape means the whole thing is fake.
At least that seems to be their point.
Reliable blue brands complain about reliable red brands, and vice versa.
Stop saying "the left" and name specific en ies to back up your claims. Breitbart posted edited footage to make someone look bad.
Give us name specific en ies that are putting out false stories or editied "footage" to manipulate a story line. Your generalizations are making your arguments look weak.
LOL@ stop saying the left.
Back up your claim that Briebart edited the footage.
Not exactly. You are aware Breitbart backed away from it, aren't you?
Hey, classic use of "seems" to fudge yr point. (I do it some, too.)
Well Rand Pauls problem is that he's contradicting himself on his own view...he's against discrimination...but he thinks if your a business owner...you should have the right to refuse service based on their own bias' or opinion(the business owner)...so he likes the Civil Rights Act because he doesn't endorse racism...BUT...he's all for businesses deciding on whether they want to allow people Civil Rights...so I'm still confused on his own views...
False gotcha; please reread.
beechwood-aged only claims that Breitbart posted edited clips. Not that it did the editing.
I never said Breitbart edited the footage. I said they posted it.
You are abusing the term "edited footage". The clip BB played was not edited. By definition, edit implies that the tape was altered. The tape BB played initially was a section of a larger tape that was taken out of context, but he did not alter the tape. Ms. Sherrod said exactly what was on the tape.
he backed away from it? what are alleging is wrong with the tapes?
Trying to be a libertarian in modern society CAN get confusing. It basically comes down to "I may not agree with you and in fact may find you reprehensible but I support your right to think differently than I do".
"Breitbart had said that he had posted the full version he was given, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment after Sherrod's full speech surfaced.

The speech Breitbart played was not in it's entirety; meaning it was edited. If I post online a scene from a movie and not the entire movie, that is edited footage. You're taking a larger whole and showing a specific section. You have to physically edit footage to do that.
And again, I never said Breitbart manipulated, edited or altered the footage in any way. but he did play footage that was edited in a way to manipulate its content.
