Wow, this was a horrid hatchet job. I've captured video of it for comparison when (if) a YouTube of the argument comes out.

Partial video of me engaged in the argument with the Obamaton; note that NBC17 mangled the cutting badly enough where it's hard to tell if I'm pro or con! I'm the guy yelling at 25 seconds...

Note my comments at the bottom of this website. Seriously, my anti-ObamaCare argument was edited to make me look PRO ObamaCare
about an hour ago

No kidding, the editing of this video was just sick. When another perspective shows up on YouTube, I'll do a side-by-side and you will see what I mean.
12 minutes ago

The more I look at it I am awe-struck at the editing job. They make me look like an ObamaCare supporter, make the Obama guy look like a random Tea Party Nutter (c), and then made a protester look like she was accusing the movement of being astroturf.

BTW, I captured the video by hand-video recording screen playback, plus screen-captured the magical change from a video to a still image

I don't see a video, but let me say thank you for your efforts here. Hagan is one of several senators that has yet to get the message.

The above vid is the 'original' distorted report, (I'm the guy in green) and the original link now has a much more balanced version online.

Well, either they paid attention to your comment on their site or they are reading these forums. In any case, it looks like they decided to come clean and not distort what happened.

Which is why as soon as everybody's curiosity is satisfied I'm be deleting the original version from my YouTubes. Credit where credit is due, after all. They did the right thing, and so will I. I'm only gonna wait long enough for this thread to play out so nobody goes all 'conspiracy theory' on us. lol!

Seriously I am impressed. NBC17 read comments online that I felt the video presented a distorted picture. The reporter contacted me personally to explain, and shortly the video was revised to provide a more balanced view.

This kind of media responsiveness is missing throughout most of America, and I am compelled to take time out and compliment NBC 17 News for choosing to do what is right and proper

ETA: the obamaton guy reminds me of the ShamWow guy, and not in a pleasant way.
