Is the research firm Fusion GPS, run by Dan Blather?

Thanks Morgana. Since the sting vids continue to refer to the abortion mills as "Planned Parenthood", they are misleading. ;')

typical of politico to have this article

[kevkrom]

The video makers are releasing full, unedited footage for each instance as well, making short work of these paid-for “findings”.

My daughter aged 14 asked me if they are killing babies then why are they called Planned Parenthood. Surely the name means that a woman is planning to be a parent and not kill a baby.

Aged 14 and she gets it.

"...and are missing footage."

Sounds like a challenge to release more video... I doubt that will work out in PP's favor AT ALL.

[Dawn53Fl]

Sounds like they’re saying that “editing” footage is “manipulating” it. Every news program on the air “edits” footage. The news is made up of sound bites.

[cuban leaf]

Your post nails exactly how I read this.

[Bubba_Leroy]

... only two of the 59 Planned Parenthood affiliates are currently involved in fetal tissue research ...

The others all temporarily suspended their baby part selling operations after the videos started coming out.

[Fido969]

So how much taxpayer money did they spend on this?

[celmak]

You notice PP will not do a simple solution, that it will not come out and say “OK, PP and all its affiliates will not perform abortions, we will stay in business doing everything else but abortions.” Wonder why (SARC)???

“The facts and content were not manipulated and thats ALL THAT MATTERS”

It’s all that matters to those of us concerned with facts and content.

Planned Parenthood got what it paid for. From now on they will simply say that “a study found the sting videos were manipulated”, the MSM and political establishment will repeat that line like dutiful parrots and the vast majority of clueless American voters won’t give the matter any further consideration.

In other news, I just commissioned a study which found that “Junk Silver” is the smartest, wittiest and most widely read poster ever on Free Republic.

lol

it’s called editing.

I have no doubt that they have the full unedited version and will make it available to any prosecutor if needed.

[traderrob6]

Thanks for pointing that out as I’m too stupid to have known the difference.

"...contain intentionally deceptive edits and inaccurately transcribed conversations and are missing footage..."

I'm sure the missing footage will fully exonerate PP and not make them out to be the ghouls they are. That just changes everything that I ever thought of PP. Not.

[hal ogen]

“manipulated” = “edited”. I’m sure the complete tape will show these PP ghouls to be ghouls. They should be in prison for their murders.

[Hulka]

Absolutely.

You are 100% correct.

[fungoking]

So PP should sue...but they won't; and that tells you everything.

After not covering the story for the past month, the mainstream media outlets will now take this ‘report’ and run with it, for they now have the cover they were looking for to dismiss it as a ‘non-story’.

There is no actual journalism anymore.... and they are now (have been) at the point of willingly giving aid and comfort to baby murderers.
