Why am I npt surprised?
So what do we know?
1. The left-wing David Corn at the left-wing "Mother Jones" released selective portions of hidden video taken without Mitt Romney's knowledge at a fundraiser this spring.
2. The corrupt media (who hate when James O'Keefe releases secret video) ran and are still running with the video, hoping to turn it onto the silver bullet that will finally and forever kill Mitt Romney's campaign.
3. That Mitt Romney asked that the full unedited video be released.
4. That David Corn and "Mother Jones" agreed to release the full unedited video.
5. That David Corn and "Mother Jones" claimed to have released the full unedited video.
6. That David Corn and "Mother Jones" lied when they said they had released the full unedited video (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/09/19/Mother-Jones-Admits-Romney-Tape-Missing-One-or-Two-Minutes).
7. That somewhere around two minutes of the video is missing, and that in the wildest of wild coincidences, the missing minutes just happen to occur around the portion of the video the media are claiming is the most damaging to Romney -- the portion about the 47%.
8. That "Mother Jones" and David Corn not only lied but that, as an institution -- as this editorial (http://www.motherjones.com/media/2011/03/james-okeefe-npr-sting-mohammed-nabbous) from March of last year makes clear -- "Mother Jones" is filled with wild-eyed hypocrites:
To the list of journalism's greatest disgraces, let us now add James O'Keefe. O'Keefe calls himself an investigative reporter, though as far as we can tell the only group of journalists he has anything in common with are habitual fabricators like Jayson Blair, Stephen Glass, and Janet Cooke.
But that's not the scandal we're talking about. The real scandal is that—even though by the time he posted a "sting" of a top NPR fundraiser, O'Keefe was notorious for creating deceptive video smear jobs (ACORN? Hello?)—the media repeated the allegations uncritically.
9. That James O'Keefe eventually released the full unedited NPR video.
10. That as of this writing "Mother Jones" still hasn't released or detailed what is missing from their still selectively edited video -- you know, the missing portion that by some wild coincidence occurs during the portion of the video David Corn, "Mother Jones," and the ObamaMedia say is the most damaging.
