selective editing in political video

BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Coinciding with John Kerry's arrival in Boston, the Republican Party continued its theme Wednesday -- that the Democratic Convention is an "extreme makeover" of the four-term senator's record -- and sharpened its attack on Kerry's position on Iraq.

To illustrate its point, the incumbent party released an 11-minute clip reel, editing together comments from the presidential challenger, mostly drawn from broadcast interviews conducted between September 2001 and this month.

Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie said Kerry's position had "more to do with what was going on on the ground in Iowa than in Iraq," suggesting Kerry moved away from his vote authorizing military force only when that position became unpopular during the Democratic primaries.

But Democrats accused Republican operatives of using "creative editing" to distort Kerry's positions, and released more complete transcripts of the excerpts the GOP featured in its video.



I can't wait for Michael Moores scathing critcism of the use of "creative editing" and careful selection of video. ;)

After all, they are all real video of Kerry. Everything in the video is the truth. :ph34r:

If Charlton Heston would be wrong to criticize the "creative editing" in Bowling for Columbine (as we have been told by Moore's apologists that we are wrong to do so), then so will Kerry be wrong to criticize the Republicans.

But Democrats are famous for wanting it both ways.
