Viewers Accuse MTV of Editing Boos Toward Kerry Daughters at Video Awards
jucieenews.com ^ | 8/30/04 | Landon Howell

Posted on 08/30/2004 10:13:38 AM PDT by kattracks

A follow-up to Sunday night's article on John Kerry's Daughters recieving boos from the MTV Video Music Award crowd.

After seeing the show broadcast live, then watching the re-broadcast of the show, many are cryin gfoul as it seems that MTV has dubbed over, or edited out many of the boos the daughters recieved.

Not only that, but now CNN is trying to report that the boos were meant for both the Kerry AND Bush daughters. While the Bush daughters may have recieved boos, viewers could not hear them due to the fact that their appearance was made via satelite.

CNN said that some audience members gave a "standing ovation"... which is odd considering the fact that most of the individuals were standing throughout the entire program... they had to... they were standing room only seats...

Many are trying to use this event to claim that individuals at the event thought that when the Kerry daughters were announced, the Bush daughters were going to come out.

If so, the audience is not only dumb and deaf, but blind as well.

This media spin has got to stop.

juiceenewsdaily will be following this story and will be providing updates as they appear.

Didn't MTV do the same for hillary back in 200?

Just like VH1 did with She Who Must Not Be Named, MTV did with the Kerry Chicks.

"But, waitaminit, She was never booed, I heard the tape, what're you talking about? Stop bothering me, they're serving Kool-aid..."

See what I mean?

see them referring to CNN as the "Conservative News Network"

My wife considers herself a moderate on pretty much every issue except abortion.

She never really watches cable news.

We were at the airport on Friday and CNN was on and she was appalled by the blatant anti-Bush bias.

The "reportage" consisted of statements like: "The Republican National Convention will feature speakers who most observers consider to be far more moderate than the GOP as a whole. Some critics are calling speeches by Rudolf Giuliani and Arnold Schwarzenegger an attempt to 'put lipstick on a pig'."

That's practically a verbatim quote. My wife was simply astonished by how aggressively partisan the CNN coverage was.

I'm afraid to say that this might be correct in some measure. This crowd wouldn't know the Bush girls from the Kerry women even with a kyron supplying their names underneath. Remember, this is the Dip It Low crowd.

This should now become the story...

For what ever reason... the Kerry daughters were booed by the audience. The tapes of the event were altered to give the impression that they were not booed (if applause was substituted that is even more of a story)...

This is THE STORY now...

Interview executives at the corporate level to find out if that is their standing policy or was this just a one time thing. Who made the decision to alter the tape for later viewing and why?

All kinds of good reporter questions... Ask the Kerry mouth pieces if they were responsible for having the tapes altered... Sometimes I wish I was a reporter...

It's affiliate VH1 did. But we all know that MTV and VH1 are nothing but the Dims right arm for the younger generation brainwashing machine.

The booing began long before the Bush girls were on the video screen. Even worse, the dark-haired Kerry shushed the crowd and said "this is very important".

What a joke.

Did the booing start before or after the Bush girls appeared on the monitor?

Fox just did a replay of the Kerry daughter's appearance.

When the booing started they both turned, expecting to see something on the large screen behind them. There was a full shot of the stage and there was nothing on that screen except for the MTV logo. The Bush twins didn't come on until the Kerry sisters had finished their speech.

The booing was definitely for them, and there was a much, much lower volume, mixed reaction for the Bush twins. The Kerry daughters looked as though they were completely surprised.

That's what they get for believing what the MSM told them.

When I watched the West Coast feed at 9p.m. and compared it to the play Drudge gave it (several times) from the original feed, it was definitely dubbed. Not only that, it sounded to me on the original feed that the Bush Twins received good applause while the Boos for the sKerry Girls was pretty loud and sustained, thus the ssssshhhh... watching the 9.m. feed one would almost wonder why the sssshhhh since it was so subdued... these stations must all think we are a bunch of idiots.

I must call a mullah a mullah! The horsey faced girls were booed! This is without question! The Bush girls were not booed! If you say they were your bellies will catch on fire and you will die a thousand deaths in the most painful of damn ways.

I know all of this because I was with the Bush girls! They were pouring Margaritas down my throat with a funnel and a long plastic tube last night! I got blasted damn you! Blasted! But the Bush girls were driving. They were good girls last night.

Don't get me wrong! I have seen pictures of the one Kerry girl! Have her call me please! I have the mother of all paper bags waiting!

Actually, I think a far more believable rationalization that the Democrats could use is that that audience had some semblance of fashion sense, and were booing the unbelievably wretched outfits that the Kerry daughters had on. The one on the right looks like she's wearing a botched attempt to use one of those Simplicity children's Halloween costume patterns.
