so much praise when Borat Cohen does it and the MSM reports it for profit.

They do not “selectively edit” these videos when compared to the MSMedia.

"They do not “selectively edit” these videos when compared to the MSMedia."

This "selectively editing" nonsense is a meme Planned Parenthood tried to start when they got caught on film by Project Veritas trying to sell baby parts. In response Veritas released the entire unedited video and it showed the released excerpts were not deceptive and were consistent with the entire encounter.

Undercover reports used to be a staple of journalism when there were functioning journalists and not as automatons reading from a DNC talking point sheet.

This old bat wants censorship. PV has been through this process many times and they knows all the legal requirements necessary for recording conversations.

and edit their responses selectively,

Another fake news story bite.

Veritas makes the raw video available.

(On the other hand, how would anybody "edit" responses "non-selectively"? The whole point of editing is to "select")

Is it really smart of her to be highlighting a video that probably got really poor coverage? It seems now the media HAS to mention what is on the videos -- although this particular story tries it's best to spin it in her favor.

She wants to try to move the topic from the unsavory facts the video revealed to legalities about how the video was made. THAT is what her GOP opponent should drive home.

You mean like this? (from the article)

Hawley, in response, called McCaskill’s claims “absurd.”

“That’s absurd and she knows it. Senator McCaskill can’t fool Missouri anymore. The truth about her partisanship and party-line liberalism is revealed more every day,” Hawley said in a statement to The Hill. “After completely dismissing rural Missourians by saying she can ‘give up’ on their votes, this new footage shows she just isn’t being honest with us and is rejecting our values.”

In a pair of tweets sent Wednesday afternoon following a campaign press call, Hawley criticized McCaskill for “politicizing the legal process” for reelection.

“Let’s review last 24 hrs. 1) @clairecmc & staff caught on tape telling the truth 2) McCaskill accuses ME of fraud 3) McCaskill demands Missouri give her special prosecutor to investigate her truth telling,” Hawley tweeted. “Senator, accusing people of crimes is a serious thing. If you have evidence of a crime, please come forward with it immediately. Otherwise, please stop politicizing the legal process for your reelection.”
