But, as we have already established, the quote within the story is out of context (what a surprise from someone whom Google turns up as "CNN Political Editor"!), and that the full transcript, known to the poster paints a very different picture.
The poster, therefore, used a bogus quote from a bogus story to prop up her bogus candidate by attempting to create a false equivalency.
I don't know where you grew up, but from where I did, that's called "lying".
Then FR is populated by an awful lot of liars. Quotes are copied piecemeal all the time, though not in this case, the cut was the sources. Which is why many sources are banned here. Newsmax isn't, nor do I think it should be. You might disagree.
The issue is supressing critical opinions, which is perfectly legitimate in the context of controlling the flow of the discusssion. I don't think that's a secret.
Were that not the case, Newsmax would be banned.
