Words do mean things - the left uses ‘edited’ to shift the blame onto Breitbart for a tape that he did not edit. The tape was excerpted.
The excerpt was complete and not altered(edited).
If edit and excerpt mean the same thing, why is there a large disparity of word usage? Why is ‘edit’ the favored word?
Why was once ‘Global Warming’ favored and now ‘Climate Change’ is the favorable choice?
