        Clear? No. Interviews are edited all the time.

        It highly depends on exactly what was edited and how. And that’s not clear at all.

          The problem is that they did it at the request of the interviewee. Clearly they see it as a problem.

          With a high-profile interview comes a listener expectation that journalistic interview standards will be applied … We did not meet those expectations

            No, that’s not a problem. The problem is implying malfeasance without any evidence.

            That’s slander/libel.

            Weren’t you just criticizing someone for their supposed lack of journalistic ethics? Don’t you see the clear hypocrisy in that?

                I said “slander/libel” to avoid confusion, not because I didn’t know the difference. But thanks for the clarification. 👍

              Seems like they admitted malfeasance in the statement I copied. Also an online comment doesn’t constitute journalism so I think I’m in the clear there.

                No, they didn’t. They admitted to doing what commonly happens with interviews and commented that most people simply don’t expect it. They didn’t admit malfeasance. YOU made that accusation, again, without evidence.

                Also an online comment doesn’t constitute journalism so I think I’m in the clear there.

                But claiming something that didn’t happen, without evidence - as you keep doing - while accusing another of the same thing is certainly both unethical and hypocritical.

                And I certainly didn’t accuse you of journalism. I accused you of slander/libel.

        Here come the downvotes. If it were Trump it would be front page news already, lol. And now everyone wants to act like this is normal

          It frequently happened and happens with Trump. And nobody cares.

      So what? That’s wrong on so many levels and it’s just more proof of the collusion thats been happening between the Dems and the MSM

        That’s every large enough political party in the world.

        Seems odd to attack the Dems specifically on this.

        How is it wrong to do what’s commonly done in most interviews for a variety of reasons? And how does that make “Dems” or “the MSM” different on this case than in every other case where it’s very commonly done?
