Sleepy Don spent days crying that "60 Minutes" had edited vice president Kamala Harris's interview to "make her look better," going so far as to demand that CBS have its license revoked, be broken up and sold to the highest bidder (claiming, as always, it was all rigged against him).
Well, it turns out that the rambling answers and false claims Sleepy Don made in his barbershop interview were heavily edited by Fox.
Trump was seen taking questions and making small talk with Black and Hispanic barbershop customers and workers, some of whom were wearing “Make Barbers Great Again” shirts. The visit was part of “Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones’ ongoing barbershop interview series.
But the version of the visit shown on television was, to borrow a hairstyle metaphor, a crop cut. Fox edited out many of Trump’s rambling comments and false claims. Participants had to repeatedly follow up when Trump meandered away from the original point of their questions.
CNN reviewed a more complete video of the barbershop visit that was uploaded to Instagram on the day of Trump’s appearance in the Bronx and compared it to the segments that were shown on “Fox & Friends” on Monday.For example, an audience member asked Trump about finding a way to eliminate federal taxes in the future. On Fox, Trump was shown immediately answering affirmatively: “There is a way.” But in the raw footage, Sleepy Don talked for seven minutes on other topics, including inheritances, the Keystone Pipeline, Ronald Reagan, Russia, and transgender sports players. But on Fox, it was stitched together as one seamless back-and-forth.
Editing hid the fact that participants had to repeatedly follow up when Trump completely lost focus and meandered away from the original point of their questions.
CNN found that Fox has repeatedly edited Sleepy Don to save him from looking like a complete loon.
Huh.
