Send Drudge this link. This has to get out. I don’t see it in any of the headlines- not even FOX.
I heard a fellow from the Alaska press say that this interview with Gibson didn’t seem like Palin at all. He siad she’s terrific during her Alaskan press conferences, and that is a better venue for her.
As four your four second gap, if it exists, it's quite possible that Zapruder wasn't continuously rolling the film. As I recall those cameras held about two minutes worth of film; so not much. It's also possible that in some 8mm cameras one had to keep a button depressed in order to keep the film rolling making gaps almost inevitable.

I didn’t see you pinged on your own article.
ABC isn't a machine--it's a television producer staffed by lots of people. I wonder if any people were told to edit things but had sufficient qualm about doing so that they deliberately held shots a little too long so as to show where Palin's answers were cut.
Also, am I the only one who thought it strange the way the interview segments ended with an abrupt stop, rather than any sort of closing or semi-closing ("Back right after this") remarks on the set?
Exactly. She can't subject herself to this again. Far more people saw the biased, edited interview on ABC than will see any articles about the heavy editing and the original transcript.

We really don't give a sh!+ about what you think. That comment box is there to make our viewers think they are important to us, but they are not.ML/NJPlease feel free to bang your head against a brick wall.
That’s what I thought. Stop “handling” Palin and stop putting her in positions where the Stalinist media can air-brush out her good-points.
Just put her out there, in the world, and let her take on the wolves. I trust her to do it with grace and excellence.
You said: “...Aside from slanting the view, was there another reason to be less than professional with the editing?...”
My response:
I think being under the influence of hate is a lot like being under the influence of alcohol; it affects your judgment.
I did send them a short note
I reviewed the original transcript of your interview with Sarah Palin and compared it to the highly edited broadcast version.
Shame on you people
Dan Rather was perhaps duped, you people are just hateful.
The standard roll for an 8mm camera is 25 feet long and holds five seconds per foot on each side. One must load the film away from direct sunlight, shoot about two minutes, of which the first and last portions will destroyed in loading and unloading, then take out the film and turn it over--also away from direct sunlight--and shoot the other half. One must then remember not to turn the film over and shoot it a third time.
If the Zapruder film is Kodachrome or Ektachrome (as would seem likely for its vintage), and there is exactly one splice with 25 feet of film on either side, missing footage would only be a factor in assessing authenticity if the amount of 'missing' time at the splice was unusually short. Camera films stocks are different from duplication film stocks, so any 'edits' that appear on a camera film would represent material that was never photographed.
Why does the GOP agree to let Gibson and his ilk moderate the debate(s)?
I guess because in the final analysis, we’re still the Stupid Party.
Has everyone noticed the link to Zer0bama’s DNC campaign? What a waste of air space.
Don’t “insist” there be no editing- do them LIVE or not at all.
