Breitbart Again Demonizing Average People in Hoax Videos

Following the example of James O'Keefe, a number of hyper-partisan activists have had videos promoted by Andrew Breitbart's websites, painting average folks on the street as "dangerous" hypocrites, or un-American "fascists" due to their willingness to speak out against conservative radio hosts and websites. Plainly, the subjects are lied to and coaxed to sign a petition many do not seem to grasp -- because the filmmakers themselves do not seem to understand how to present their own premise.

Last week, in Fraud! Breitbart Admits Editing "Truth" From Hoax Petition Video, we commented on a video produced by ExposingLeftists.com showing average college students expressing a desire to ban Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to a petitioner posing as a fervent left-wing activist. After their edit job, signers were characterized as "dangerous" people. Our oped faulted the video crew for not delineating any difference between a government and non-government ban and editing out those who refused to sign.

After all, a few "man-on-the-street" interviews does not tell us anything about nationwide "liberalism". How many refused to sign in total? Do they represent ALL leftists? The authors decided yes, they represent ALL liberals after they admitted editing out some who did not sign. Fudged results obtained while lying might be cause for concern, but the biggest problem was that there's nothing whatsoever wrong with signing a petition for a non-governmental "ban", it is itself a form of protected free speech.

Here in this almost identical video, we see young videographers who can't seem to spell "camera" in the credits of their production again lying to average people on the street by saying they want to ban talk radio hosts. If they initially claim to be for free speech for all, they are badgered to sign by the interviewer right on camera.

...these videos are homework projects for these kids in Propaganda Academy. I say discuss why you think conservatism is so great out in the open, don't hide who you are and then argue your points behind peoples' backs.
