You have a valid point. The ACORN stuff was very badly presented. The Veritas videos had a lot more substance, and the CNN videos are simply the raw truth of what has been happening to corrupt public opinion.
The magnitude of the effort to control public opinion, and the absolute lack of any journalistic integrity is what is being shown in these new videos. There is no room for debate on how they are edited, because he has taken great care to eliminate that talking point. This is raw information. We all know that the liars will spin this how they always do, they will intentionally misinterpret and misrepresent. Yet anyone with bandwidth will have the full record of these videos and be able to see the truth.
Spin requires momentum which is lost. Nobody believes you any more. Not even yourself, Steve. Face it, you are holding on to beliefs which are untenable, and your positions follow suit.

...That's a bold move there, but sorry, my position is pretty tenable. It could be presented as raw information, but he could have edited it and we'd never know. O'Keefe is just not a trustworthy source.
