Journalism is dead, and so is the ability of people (including here) to investigate issues for themselves. Too many people depend on being spoon fed their opinions, easily manipulated.

Everyone who heard the original edited tape just reacted. Whether it be fox news, NAACP, people on messageboards, the pussies in the White House... The emphasis, the priority, was in reacting quickly with a statement, versus examining the issue thoroughly. Simple due diligence.

The sadder thing is that Democrats are such pussies that they will force someone to resign without identifying the facts.

So before anyone comments again on this issue, watch the video...

Not a fan of everything that this guy says, but his video sums up this situation nicely (beware of volume lol):
