David Corn Caught Lying About Romney 47% Clip, Lapdog Media Set To Ignore
His Lie
Professor William Jacobson at Legal insurrection noticed that the “full and
complete” secretly recorded video of Mitt Romney speaking to supporters at
a private fundraiser is not quite what it seems. It turns out there’s at
least one noticeable gap in the video. But David Corn and Mother Jones
assured readers everything was posted:
He claimed his comments where merely a “snippet” and not the “full
response.” That was not true; his comments were shown in full.
Except that was not true, everything was not posted. Only after being caught
by Jacobson did Corn and Mother Jones confess to their being missing
information. Conviniently the missing minutes are right as Romney discussed
the 47% of people who pay no taxes.
Notice that they have not updated the previous claim that they weren’t
posting snippets, even though they were caught posting a snippet originally.
