So now you're saying that the California AG is lying, too, huh? The quote I posted was directly from his report on O'Keefe's scam videos.
The California AG isn't lying... You are.
That quote, as well as the entire report, is missing one very important thing that you continue to assert exists... Nowhere does it ever say that the editing resulted in any employee being misrepresented or taken out of context. Nowhere does it ever say that any of the editing resulted in a dishonest portrayal of any ACORN worker.
I'm sorry, but with the exception of the pimp outfit (which had no effect on the words that were spoken on the videos) there was no mention of deceptive editing anywhere in that report.
And again...the FACT that multiple reports detail that multiple employees simply played along with O'Keefe to get more information...and then reported them to the police...puts all of that if proper context.
Sorry, but the employees that didn't act inappropriately doesn't cancel out the ones who did.
You mean those HEAVILY EDITED videos? Those HEAVILY EDITED videos that misleadingly portray ACORN employees as willing participants in a sex trafficking scheme, when in FACT those employees reported O'Keefe to the police?
There you go again.... O'Keefe didn't portray any of those employees, they portrayed themselves.
Again yet again...the HEAVILY EDITED videos do not put the scene in full context. For example, if O'Keefe had not edited out all of the times ACORN employees tried to speak to/warn Giles...offer her help to get away from O'Keefe, etc. etc.....the impression created by O'Keefe's scam videos would have been much different.
Sorry, but them doing the right things doesn't cancel out when they did the wrong things.
That's like a man who saved a school bus full of children when their bus caught fire, thinking that makes a difference when he's caught raping 2 of them he tied down after pulling them from the fire.
Every time you repeat this lie, I'll just keep posting this:
" The video releases were heavily edited to feature only the worst or most inappropriate statements of the various ACORN employees and to omit some of the most salient statements "
Nowhere does the report ever say that those things resulted in dishonest representation of what they said and advocated for on those videos.
Nowhere in that report are any of those employees depicted as victims of deceptive editing by O'Keefe.
If any of those ACORN employees, especially the ones who were fired, had their words twisted and manipulated, or had been misrepresented through deceptive editing, they could have filed and easily won a defamation suit against O'Keefe and gotten a 7 figure settlement... But not one of them ever did, and common sense along with the words of a former democratic AG/investigator and NYT public editor should make it clear why that is.
