MoveOn....
I was so happy to see FactCheck.org’s Creative Editing article that shows step-by-step how MoveOn PAC edited Vice President Cheney’s speeches to create the impression that the Vice President was making a point that he was, in fact, not making.
First off, I am curious to know if these actions are considered libel.
Second, I hope this does further damage to the already ridiculous credibility of MoveOn PAC.
Third, I believe that this action, as well as those of other groups who do similar things, should not be protected under the First Amendment. I suppose this is actually a spin-off of my first point.
It’s understandable that creative video editing should juxtapose sound and images to create a desired impression in the mind of the viewer; however, it’s unethical to do this to disseminate lies.

I agree with you that editing Cheney's speech to make a point was wrong. There are so many other points MoveOn can make against the Bush administration without having to edit anything. They should stick to all of the other things that Bush and Cheney do wrong that doesn't need fact checking.
