I've downloaded the video from last night's program. The screenshots posted here only represent a portion of the screenshots on the video. The video of the program shows a video of someone cursing through the thread's page then selecting a thread (more than once). Thus, the screenshots posted here are fragments of what what was shown, and not necessarily representative of where the 'comments' came from.

I would imagine one would have to replicate the thread structure at that time to determine what stories were involved.

This makes the screenshots provided earlier of no practical use.
So you've had the opportunity to parse the bit of FR video clip inserted by BOR's staff. As well as it can be, anyway. Does it seem strange to you that the visual is blurry and that BOR doesn't allow the viewer to read the offensive statements he says were there? You'd think he'd have been proud to let the viewer "follow the bouncing cursor" to keep up.

I contend that he deliberately did not demonstrate it to the viewer because he couldn't. I think it was meant as a show for the non-discerning viewer who thinks it's good enough that he shows a webpage from FR, and then accepts him at his word.

Wouldn't surprise me if it went the same for the DKos.

O'Reillygate, anyone? LOL

Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy this afternoon.

I downloaded the video of the interview from YouTube. It was the one linked on JR's post last evening. The video clearly shows a full screenshot of an FR posts page with someone using the cursor to scroll down, then link to a thread. Then the thread is shown. It's that which tells me that the screenshots posted are only a portion of the threads that were visible before scrolldown (or after).

I saved the video as an mpg, then transformed it to DVD quality to preserve what quality video was there to begin with.

In capturing still screen images from my saved video, I found that the picture quality was actually less than that of the original screenshots posted last night. Thus, I've been unable to come up with anything further. Yet, this shows that the screen image being blurry is not an abnormal situation. This is very common when screen images are captured then blown up. This is NOT unusual when capturing video.

In doing this, I reviewed the entire segment again. Actually, I found BOR to be somewhat fair, believe it or not. He made an effort to appear as though he was toning down his initial hit to FR, then made it clear that he saw KOs as being far more hateful than FR. I came away from the second viewing with a slightly different view, although I still felt it was an effort at using FR to his advantage('free and balanced' maybe?).

In any event, what we'll have to go on, should anyone else not be able to provide clearer copies of the on-screen snapshots, is the data that BOR provides. That's likely the best scenario anyway, because it then gives FR material provided by the source, not some questionable screenshot that may have questionable provenance.
