NBC News edits Kerry military comment (Remark about his records not being public excised)
World Net Daily ^ | 11/02/2004

Posted on 11/01/2004 10:33:41 PM PST by Fatalis

NBC News edited out a comment by Sen. John Kerry about his military records not being public after including it in a previous version of an interview.

As noted by the blog Powerline, in an interview with NBC's Tom Brokaw last week on MSNBC, the following exchange occurred:

Brokaw: Someone has analyzed the president's military aptitude tests and yours, and concluded that he has a higher IQ than you do.

Kerry: That's great. More power. I don't know how they've done it, because my record is not public. So I don't know where you're getting that from.

A transcript of the version of the interview that appeared on "Dateline," however, does not include the reference to Kerry's records being secret. The senator's response to the question in the edited broadcast is: "That's great. More power. I don't know how they've done it."

So all the alphabets are Kerry supporters. CFR is just dandy with them.

No liberal media bias right?
Ah yes, no bias at all.
This isnt new. Its been tossed around for about 8 months. No one is just going to say much thanks to liberal suppression of the truth.

I actually watched that interview and immediately realized the importance of what he said.

I also noticed that Brokaw did not follow up with the obvious question to that response.

Maybe I'm smarter and quicker on the uptake than Brokaw.

No surprise that they edited it out. And no surprise that no one else in the MSM is pointing it out.

I hope someone has a video clip of the unedited version... And they keep it safe.

Yes and in the tradition of Stalin, if Kerry wins all pictures of him in Navy will be airbrushed to make him an admiral in the Navy.

Communist revisionism at work. Next thing you know they'll be removing people from the historic record by bumping them off and then photoshopping people out of photographs, and others will be afraid to ask "what happened to so-and-so?"

Laura Ingraham played a audio clip of it and I saved at text version of the Nightly News transcript with the oopsie in it. It is well covered.

Well, these are the same people who insisted that the Khmer Rouge were just peachy and pretended the Cambodians were having the time of their lives.

Kind of amusing to see how the kids at moveonpac.com are pissing away Soros' cash. They put an ad right in the middle of this article.

I see World Net Daily isn't too picky about its sponsored links- it had this one the same page as the article:

Nightly News, NBC, Tom Brokaw

We all heard Kerry explicitly state in his interview with Tom Brokaw that his military records were not public. We also saw how you edited that out of the official transcript.

We have known for years that Kerry never released his records...despite the liberal media's portrayal that he had released his records. John Kerry never signed a form 180...his records that you have are cherry picked records...Why don't you demand that Kerry sign a form 180?

You can't get away with this any longer...we see and hear everything. We tell all of our friends.

I put the pertinent section of the interview on a CD, and then copied the transcript also to disk. I took it to work and showed it to all of my co-workers. I showed them how you edited out the transcript as if to try and fool us...they then showed it to their friends, and sent it out onto the world wide web...

We are in control now...ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC are proven water carriers for the left...and we will show people the truth...

Your lies and distortions can no longer be hidden...we will expose you every time.

Someone has a video clip unless they edited it. I saw it broadcast.

The "Media", being in bed with Kerry, doesn't want the American people to know that the fraud got an other than honorable discharge from the Navy. The lying POS.
