Editing cannot easily make a person say something they did not say; parts can be cut out, or rearranged, but not ADDED.

It would take some careful lip-syncing to even imply something different was said.

ESPECIALLY, with the continuity of the BACKGROUND NOISE...i.e. the NAACP members.

I'm not a video editor, but in 15 years in radio broadcasting I've done a lot of tape editing...not with computuers, but the old razor blade/splicing block method. I could take a whole verse out of a song and you'd never know it was missing...no blips, no bumps, no pops. But, adding was a whole different ballgame..

After watching the video of shirley shirly bo birley several times, I do not see any lip-sync dropouts, or notice anything out of timing in her remarks. IF parts were taken out denoting she was for racism before she was against it (ahem) then I would have to do some side by side comparison to judge the edits.

So the bottom line is, the published video is her talking, in context, to the tale she was telling, which garnered laughs and comments from the NAACP crowd.

When a liberal shouts, "out of context", it just means they got caught in a lie, or a gaffe.

End of story.

I’m a video editor, and I agree with your comments about what we can and can’t do without it being obvious.

The media does not know the difference between EXCERPTED and EDITED.
