Brent Bozell targets networks over ‘edited’ accusations towards Planned Parenthood videos
Media Research Center president L. Brent Bozell III ripped CNN and network news outlets for referring to Center for Medical Progress undercover investigative videos of Planned Parenthood as “edited” or “heavily edited,” when they engage in those same news practices.
“The hypocrisy meter is going off the charts at CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS. In their reporting about the Planned Parenthood videos, they refer to them as ‘edited’ or ‘heavily edited.’ Well guess what? Each and every day these same TV news outlets edit and heavily edit their own news segments — including their stories about the Planned Parenthood videos. Hours upon hours of footage is collected for every two to three minute segment they air, and the overwhelming amount of that footage hits the cutting room floor, never to see the light of day.
“What are these networks not showing the American people? What are they cutting? Don’t the American people have a right to see it? The difference between these networks and the Center for Medical Progress is that CMP is far more honest and transparent in disclosing the full footage and posting it online. These “news” networks have a responsibility to do the same. Today, I am calling on CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS to make public all the footage they collect for all of the news segments they produce, just as the Center for Medical Progress has done. Until they do, they have no right to question CMP’s professionalism.”
The CMP has released “edited” versions of their work for mass consumption and distribution, but released full, unedited clips through their website.
