mhaze,

Whether the unedited footage was released concurrently or afterward is irrelevant. The edited version was deliberately cut to create a misleading narrative. The courts and multiple investigations agreed on this.

The fact remains that the selectively edited version of the footage shaped public perception in a way that the unedited footage didn’t rectify, regardless of when it was released - you’re living proof of that.

Your entire position here has been reduced to focusing on a technicality about timing, while ignoring the main point: the deceptive intent behind the editing. If there wasn’t anything misleading about the edited version, why was there such widespread agreement, even across bipartisan lines, that it misrepresented the facts?

Not so “hilarious” anymore, is it?

Life becomes so much easier when you’re just honest. You should try it sometime.

Some posters might be interested to know that both ‘debate’ moderators are Democrats.

Some posters may also be interested to know that:

Donald Trump's political affiliation has changed numerous
times. He registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987,
switched to the Reform Party in 1999, and the Democratic Party
in 2001,. and then back to the Republican Party in 2009.

Some posters may also be interested to know that Senator
J.D. Vance, the current Vice Presidential nominee leading
up to the 2016 election, Vance publicly called Donald
Trump "reprehensible", " a fraud", and an "idiot".
He stated that Trump could be - "America's Hitler", and
Vance defined himself as a "Never Trumper".

His family has close ties to the Democratic Party.

It would appear that some people's political views can and do
change.

"Whether the unedited footage was released concurrently or afterward is irrelevant. The edited version was deliberately cut to create a misleading narrative. The courts and multiple investigations agreed on this."

Well you're the one who was asserting that the full version was released later. Now that you find that to be false, you ASSSERT it doesn't matter.

But you are completely wrong to claim that courts ruled that the editing was deceptive. You're just making this up as you go, aren't you? The court case was about claims that the taping of Planned Parenthood staff was illegal and that they gained access to premises under false pretences. There were no claims in court that the tapes were false or misleading. As with most things you just want it to be true and in JD world wanting it to be true is the same as it being true.

"while ignoring the main point: the deceptive intent behind the editing. "

Except you provided not a skerrick of evidence that it was deceptively edited. At the very least you could have linked to Planned Parenthood's claims that it was deceptive but then I would have shown you the analysis that refuted that. So best just keep making unevidenced claims, I guess.

David Muir is not listed as having a party affiliation.
He has moderated several Democratic and Republican
Presidential debates. He has
been on the forefront of major political coverage and
has interviewed a plethora of prominent people.
His reputation is well known as an experienced journalist
and moderator.

Linsey Davis is also experienced in presidential debates and
elections. She does not share any political beliefs on air
or on social media. She often covers both sides of politics.

"Some posters might be interested to know that both ‘debate’ moderators are Democrats."

They work for the US ABC so of course they are Democrat.

But new evidence is emerging that the fix was in. http://tiny.cc/a4fmzz

A whistle-blower has made an affidavit that states that the ABC staff "worked closely with the Harris campaign in sharing the substance of the questions, avoiding certain topics, agreeing on the staging, committing to fact check Trump and not Harris, and more disturbing details."

As I said after the rigged 2020 election, Trump will be remembered as the last democratically elected president of a once great democracy. These people have no committment to democracy but just to power and they'll do anything to keep it.

In that same regard, its now revealed that the Biden regime is investigating Robert Kennedy Jr, who committed the sin of opposing the Democrat power structures, for something that happened 20 years ago. Suddenly they decide it is worth investigating. Corrupt regimes often use lawfare to silence their opponents.

"It would appear that some people's political views can and do

The great ones aren't bound by loyalty to the party but instead loyalty to the nation. Reagan was also a Democrat for several decades but, as he explained it, the party left him rather than he leaving the party. It is said that JFK's policies would put him on the right wing of the Republicans these days.
