Huffington Post Smear of Gibson Uses Doctored Video!
Updated! HuffPo apology, Gibson response, and more after the jump.
A headline at Huffington Post blares: John Gibson Compares Eric Holder To Monkey With Bright Blue Scrotum (VIDEO). Writer Alex Leo lays it all out:
At the end of a long and pointless conversation between two Fox News reporters covering a zoo escape, John Gibson compared Attorney General Eric Holder to a monkey.... At 2:48, they toss to John Gibson who complains that he can't get away with saying "bright blue scrotum" on the radio then follows that up by saying, "We were talking about Eric Holder today on the radio and his bright blue scrotum."Here's the HuffPo video [it has been removed from youtube but see the 'update' below for a link to a saved copy]:
Hundreds of HuffPo commenters erupted in predictable outrage:
- FOX continues to prove it is part of the most racist network since the KKK
- John Gibson should be fired.
- These guys are unbelievable. Racism and Gibson's fixation for blue scrotums together would baffle when Freud himself.
- this is not surprising john gibson is a bigot and has never denied it.
- i hope Keith Olbeman has a special comment about this isses!!!
- Keep digging Faux, just keep on digging yourselves into a marginalize racist pit of despair.
This story has already spread through the Fox hater echo chamber and it's still propagating tonight. It's even shown up at Keith Olbermann's blog of choice (i.e. Daily Kos), with another passel of outraged comments from the gullible.
The Huffington Post has some 'splaining to do. Why are they presenting a doctored video? Who altered the soundtrack? Who knew and when did they know it?
Most of all they need to make a big-time apology--with the same prominence and bold-type headline as their phony smear.
UPDATE: Our report has had its intended effect. The Huffington Post article now sports a different headline: "John Gibson Did Not Compare Eric Holder To Monkey With Bright Blue Scrotum (UPDATED)" and begins with a retraction and apology:
The Huffington Post has learned that the below video has been doctored. We regret the error and apologize to Mr. Gibson. John Gibson never compared Eric Holder to a monkey with a bright blue scrotum.It still appears on the media page but is less prominent than before (further down and to the right, and without a graphic to draw attention to it). A quick check found a snarky update from Wonkette and a correction from Jossip...but no changes to the Daily Kos article. [Kos finally limps to the finish line nearly 48 hours later with a pseudo-apology.]
The Huffington Post claims they got the video from TVNewser, but obviously did not verify its accuracy. Several commenters note that an 'annotation' (words that pop on the screen) has now been added to the youtube video by its poster, admitting that Gibson didnt say 'bright blue scrotum'. The original doctored video (now removed from youtube) was saved and can be found here.
UPDATE UPDATE: John Gibson says this is part of a pattern, and had further comments on today's radio program. Breitbart.tv interviews the creator of the doctored video: John Sanders of WBAL-TV. Check our Friday links post for updated reaction from across the blogosphere. fox news nh jg

Oh, good lord! If Gibson or anyone had characterized Holder's statement in such a fashion I would have assumed that they meant that Holder had made an overly ballsy remark.

Actually, I did Haggis a big favor regarding this. This HuffPo story was another one of his hate-FNC cut-and-paste links he wanted to drop into Thursday's open thread. I was already on the trail of the truth on this and I didn't let his comment go thru. By doing so I saved him the embarrassment of having tried to promote this phony smear. Oh wait, I guess by mentioning this I'm no longer saving the embarrassment but revealing it. Whatever.

I'm afraid OS is right. I've noticed that the blue blogs and their acolytes have steadily lost what little control they had of themselves since the '06 election. Now that the Dems control all three branches it seems as if they they feel entitled to let it all hang out, blue or not.
Even Mikey at OW is barely recognizable compared to earlier, when he was no shakes but a model of decrum compared to now.

How this plays out the next couple of days is going to be interesting.
1. We have the real McCaughey with her sights set on the cereal slanderer KOKO Puffs and his messin' peacock boss.
2. The DOJ may be asked to investigate the cowards who created and those that disseminated the doctored clip. It might fall into the realm of a civil rights violation.

Unfortunately, in cases like this, the truth doesn't matter. It's the "ratchet" effect, people hear something that fits their beliefs, and it gets ratcheted up a notch. Then they find out it's phony, they don't stop believing, they'll continue to think Fox News is "racist" and just hope for some new evidence.

At this point, I would have no trouble believing that this was orchestrated by Axelrod. It's the sort of viral video work he does, and that his PR company made fortunes from doing. It keeps the embers smoldering on what's pretty much a non-issue, and diverts attention away from the to-date disaster of the Obama White House.
Never, ever, underestimate the depths to which the Chicago machine will plunge in order to get it's way.

Oh boy. We are heading towards a Orwellian reality since 2006.
Many of those with the mission to save us all from ourselves and eachother have abandoned honesty, transparency, civilility, and respect in pursuit of their idealistic, although misguided, goals.
Those willing to confront the onslaught in open forums like talk radio and FNC are taking bigger and bigger personal and professional risks.
Some may just say, "To h*ll with this!"

I doubt they could prevail in a suit against HuffPo or other sites that picked up the video and ran with it, because as a public figure Gibson would have to show actual malice to prevail in a libel suit. However, the person who doctored the video, that's another story. His malice is shown simply by the doctoring. However, he'd have to be tracked down and identified, and would probably be uncollectible. Unless of course he's just a cog in a larger operation.

Karl Rove doctored the video because he knew that people would be outraged and after Gibson was cleared he would be a highly sympathetic man. All of which translates into more ratings to Fox, which is dying by the day.
However, while the video might be fake, it is certainly an accurate depiction of Fox's racist attitudes and its use of racism to get people to watch their network.

Just to clear someting up there seems to be conspiracy theorist that unfortunately shares my name. It is funny that you say Fox is racist yet enjoys the highest ratings and has for many years. By the way its viewers are 50% Republican and 50% Democrat/Independent. That kind of blows your "dying" theory right out of the water. I've never heard any of the reporters mention any "thrills" running up their legs for any president like MSNBC.

Frankly, the very idea of linking monkeys and racism is racist in itself. It would never occur to me and I have to question someone that comes up with such an idea. . I guess you have to decide WHO actually owns this problem....the Huffington Post and their allies Daily Kos and the man who did the altered video are the ones with the problem. The left loves to use the race card against anyone who disagrees with them..... pretty obsessed with race I'd say, and possibly a group that likes to continue the racial polarizaton that we are embroiled in.

Is this the same Gibson that said White people need to have more babies?

I don't think so. This Gibson never said "white people" need to have more babies.

"So far we're doing our part here in America, but Hispanics can't carry the whole load.
The rest of you: Get busy. Make babies."
My Word
If you believe media matters, crooks and liars, etc. then yes. He said "make more white babies."

There's something fishy going on with that video story. I am SURE that when I viewed the original on Dollar's site and on Huffpo the disclaimer banner, which he is claiming was added later appeared at the end of the video. I'm going to check my temporary internet files and see if I can find out what time that was.

Educate yourself on the 3 branches of government before speaking dearie. The Dems only control 2, the Executive and the Legislative.
I guess ignorance is bliss.

This mistake does not change the fact that John Gibson is a racist. His Fox News show was canceled because of his racists comments in the past. Fox remains the most biased network on the air.

Your claim to be the source for the truth about Fox News is quite laughable. A better discription would be a festering pool of ignorance. The fact that you have to defend Fox News on a daily basis is proof in itself. There are plenty of documented examples of FOX bias but I would not expect you to report on any of these. Let the Hannity/O'Reilly/Gibson love fest continue.

Hard to argue with as powerful an intellectual argument as that. But you are drifting away from the topic here, so please try to focus in on the subject matter. Thank you for your comment.

Hannah, where have you been hiding yourself up till now?
Someone with your bright loving sweet personality and broad based knowledge should hide under a bushel. You have denied us too long.
Oh, dearie, I almost forgot:
stuff a sock in it. :lol:

This is another example of a strange phenomenon: the attempt to deceive others in order to get them to share a belief that one holds. In this case, the belief being advanced is that "Fox News is bad." How many times does one have to try to deceive others before suspecting that the motivating belief is just stupid?
