Omaha Steve (34,157 posts) Fox News Steven Crowder & Americans for Prosperity use Breitbart-style film editing "union thug" Fox News Steven Crowder & Americans for Prosperity use Breitbart-style film editing to show “union thug brutality†(updated) http://www.eclectablog.com/2012/12/fox-news-steven-crowder-americans-for-prosperity-use-breitbart-style-film-editing-to-show-union-thug-brutality.html By Eclectablog on December 12, 2012 Yesterday, I wrote about how Americans for Prosperity representatives helped knock down their own tent on the grounds of the Michigan State Capitol building during an anti-Right to Work for Less rally there. Subsequent to posting that piece, I was alerted to comments on Reddit by user “mtalnaâ€. You can read those comments HERE. What is evident from the comments is that there is a lot of editing that has gone on with the videos Fox News is now running in nearly constant rotation making it look like all of the violence and hostility at the rally yesterday came from union members. As it turns out, significant portions of it were faked and creative Breitbart-style editing helped it along much more. This morning I spoke with “mtalnaâ€. “mtalana†is Matt Allen from Fowlerville, MI. He’s an 18-year college student and not a union member. He assisted me in putting this piece together and was present for the conversation that happens in the first minutes of the first video below. Here’s the first, highly edited video which ends with Fox News contributor Steven Crowder getting punched by some union protesters: This video is actually a composite of a things that happened over the course of the day, many of them hours apart. The initial conversation happened early in the morning. At about 0:16, it cuts to Crowder saying, “You’ve already destroyed one tent, leave this one alone.†That happened hours after the interview with the union workers that starts the segment. The guy he’s talking to is standing quite a distance from the tent but Crowder insists that he’s somehow tearing down the tent. FULL story and more video at link.
They also attacked Clint Tarver's hot dog stand.
Just got back from the posted website. Exactly how stupid do you have to be to wear a jacked with your name & union affiliation whilst committing assault?
