Just a few minutes ago while changing channels, I saw CNN Headline News show a segment of Barney Frank's Town Hall meeting from last night. BUT, it was edited to show Representative Frank picking on her!!
I immediately sent an e-mail to CNN Headline News to complain about this outrageous editing of an important story. Here is my e-mail:
Approx 10 min ago you had a short story about Barney Frank's Town Hall meeting. Before the clip, the CNN Anchor said that at times it got down right disrespectful. You then showed the clip of a woman saying to Rep Frank, " why do you support this policy?". You then played segments of Rep, Frank saying "what planet are you from? and "talking to you is like talking to my dining room table." A logical assumption from your report was that Rep. Frank was Disrespectful. Your report did not show that the woman was carrying a sign that had Obama drawn like Hitler and your report did not show the woman comparing Obama's policies to Nazis. I think that this is a mistake that should be corrected IMMEDIATELY. Thank you!
I simply do not understand how this was a simple mistake, the editing was purposely done to make the woman who was attacking Obama in a sympathetic light...
UPDATE 1 TO SHOW LINK to CNN HEADLINE NEWS:
