Whether or not it was the bombshell many hoped it would be, footage emerged last week most notably on Fox News Channels Hannity from a 1991 speech by then-Harvard Law School student Barack Obama, asking an audience to open [their] hearts and minds to the controversial Harvard professor and Derrick Bell.
That footage included an embrace between Bell and Obama in a portion that was cut out of the PBS Frontline documentary called The Choice 2008. Some have made the case that that editing was proof of a media campaign to protect then-Democratic presidential nominee Obama and hide any ties to a professor whose theories on race have made him radical to some.
But PBS wasnt the first to air that footage. Weeks before that Frontline documentary premiered on Oct. 14, 2008, the Sept. 26, 2008 broadcast of 20/20 on ABC included it in the introduction to Diane Sawyers interview with Obama.

So what about the Breitbart et al claim of never before aired and suppressed before the 08 election?

His team elected to air it.To air what? Or are you confused?
Didn't they release video of Ogletree bragging that the video was hidden?
I pick confused...or rather wanting to confuse.

That is because that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave had never been vetted in 2008. Had the LSM, or MSM, or SRM, whatever you want to call them done their job, he would have never been elected. All they did is look at him with blinders on and put cotton in their ears

But it wasn’t hidden. It aired before the election.

A whole 12 seconds aired. Did it even show or state who or what that 12 seconds was about? Or was it just some generic, filler BS feel good pap?
You're pathetic and disgusting in your attempt to distort and trivialize this.
