Thanks for the ping!

Bradley's questions and interuptions were NOT filmed at the same time.
FWIW, they probably were shot at the same time. Networks will often "double-shoot" major interviews, with cameras on both reporter and subject. They will then use the "time code" generated on the output device to synchronize the final edited product.
However, when an interview subject appears to be cut off in mid-thought, you're correct to assume that the answer has been edited. And when it is done to present the subject's answer out of context or to truncate a salient point, it's journalism at its worst.
In short, it's See-BS.

Swordmaker on post 501 saw indications of a splice-and-dice job .... Not surprising at all, coming from See BS ...
Oh, wait a moment ... we have Baghdad Bob Rather with some Breaking News ...
The allegations that CBS has edited the taped interview with Condoleezza Rice for our own political agenda is blatantly and absolutely FALSE ! We have NEVER done anything like that, nor will we ! We are 'Fair & Balanced' ... |

...why do they choose Ed Bradley to question her? Because nobody can look as bored as Ed Bradley can.
TV generally "splices" interviews for time, but the good edit usually goes to the democrat, like last night. Rice looked hesitant, grim and uncertain, just like CBS wanted her to appear.
Somebody in the Administration had better start playing offense. They need to get the pro-Bush 9/11 families on TV to counter Clarke's smarmy, phony tears.
"Eight Years against Eight Months" needs to be plastered on billboards nationwide.
Homeland Security's successes need to be trumpeted, instead of obscured, i.e. train, plane and bus accidents, bridge collapses, suspicious fires, and the myriad of near-misses we've experienced.
Americans want a valid script to follow. We want to root for the good guy. But the Republicans have been too busy with the very real terrorism our country faces daily to flesh out the full faces of both the protagonist and the antagonist in this struggle. The Republicans need a rewrite, FAST.
The Administration has to stop playing "fair" and start acting smarter. Richard Ben-Veniste is Trouble, with a capital T, and that rhymes for Rubble, and that's what the election will be unless we stop hemorrhaging apologies and negative headlines.
Somebody's got to get the positive stories out there ASAP. Where's the unprecedented, miraculous success of Bush against Libya?
Why are Sharon and son getting squeezed now?
Why the left-turn in France and Germany now?
Where's the $1/gallon gas Bush promised the nation as he sent their sons and daughters to war? Who's holding him hostage?
Who's in charge here?
FWIW, I think Kerry is still not a sure thing. His current "shoulder operation" is suspicious; he looks ill. Maybe he's a stalking horse to dump all this garbage out on Bush before he even has the nomination, thus paving a clean road to the nomination with pretty-boy Edwards and/or Madam Fatass as the ticket.
But these hearings are preposterous. The final report will be spun to make Bush look like he belongs in Alcatraz. How did a "Republican" Congress ever okay them, unless the fix really is in? Because unfortunately, the last thing the socialist power structure wants is a conservative, Judeo-Christian government. Bush is about as close to that as we've come in a long time. And they despise him for it.
President Bush needs to ask his father if people vote their wallets. And unless gas prices come down soon, this President will be the first Commander in Chief to have won two wars in as many years, and STILL lost reelection.
GHB and GWB are not John and John Q. The Bush Family cannot become the Adams Family. Lurch is a democrat.

It was after the show during an answer the mail session with Leslie Stahl. She said there were an enormous amount of letters from people that were upset with them for airing the Richard Clarke story as they did. She said she did not know that he had acquired a deal with a company that was part of their network when the segment aired.

Well you should have watched the interview with the the judge that Bush appointed and I think you would have been suprised about the real opinion of blacks and how the NAACP was put in their place by some blacks that are democrats. Like I have said all along, many don't really know how blacks feel about this or Condi Rice. They are only going by what the NAACP and others say.

GW Bush better go on the offensive soon. I agree.
However, as much as we hate it the major media STILL sets the agenda and the conservatives counter-punch. To get his message out, GW has to spend some of his hoard of money. (Which is, probably, another part of the media/dem strategy....to get Bush to spend money early.)
Kerry will not need to spend money in this election. The media is the Kerry campaign. They will shortly shift from Clarke to their next assault, and we'll be in the same position of having first to ferret out the truth, adn then to proclaim.
How much is a week's focus on Clarke's perspective worth to the Dem Party? What would they have had to spend to get that same amount of air time if they'd had to buy it?

She said she did not know that he had acquired a deal with a company that was part of their network when the segment aired. I can believe that. And by STILL not revealing the conflict of interest during a follow-up segment, CBS is even more culpable this time around. There is absolutely no doubt that it was consciously omitted this time (not that there was much doubt the first time).

It was a full-out and OBVIOUS hatchet job on Condi Rice.
The cutting room floor must be knee deep in edited tape.

Unfortunately, most of the black people I know are democrats, and they hate people like Powell and Rice even more than they hate Bush.
They see them as everything that's wrong with Republicans, AND they are turn-coats.
Whatever happened to that wonderful black woman who had been the head of Planned Parenthood or something, and then changed and became anti-abortion?
The power structure doesn't want anyone to think anybody can change. They push "genetics." They push "skin color." They push "agenda set in stone."
And they ignore human beings' God-given ability to grow from the darkness into the light.
Because they hate the light.

It was a full-out and OBVIOUS hatchet job on Condi Rice. Then why did Rice consent to the interview?
Are we all this naive?
Do we think Rice is such a spectacular speaker? Are we so disconnected that we think just by speaking the truth people will hear the truth?
Rice's weak, cut, spliced, hatcheted, poorly-lit and truncated interview should come as no surprise.
Dems: two months.
Repubs: 20 minutes.
Memo to White House -- "SNAP OUT OF IT!
When you have the ball, you're supposed to stop playing defense and switch to offense. Immediately.

I think too many people don't realize how powerful the networks are. FNCs best rated show, OReilly, gets about 2 million viewers per day max.
To: Dr. Eckleburg
I don't agree. I think many blacks dislike what they think the republican party represents. But they do not hate Condoleezza Rice or Colin Powell or JC Watts (Clarence Thomas)however is another story. They don't understand how someone they view as being smart and all that, could be so much for Bush or republican. I'll just say this, if Condi Rice said she was switching parties tomorrow, those same people you are talking about would love her tomorrow.
