“People should also start drawing an analogy between this and the missing 18 1/2 minutes in the Nixon Watergate tapes.”
The difference is that the sentiment was that Nixon didn’t want us to hear what was omitted from the Watergate tapes, because it was criminal, whereas here, it would be (what?) exculpatory?
the issue is damage.
The missing/edited tape would damage the Obama/left/communists/socialists/msm.
The media, including FOX, are completing ignoring this revelation. This was a set-up from the get go. A months old video, selectively edited, then released to a pre-planned assault by the media and Dems. Although Fox is defending Romney on the substance of his remarks, they are ignoring the bigger story - media complicity with the Obama campaign. This has gone way beyond mere bias - the networks are now an adjunct of the Democratic campaign machine.
