Deceptive Edits

- Ed Schultz edited 911 audio tape of George Zimmerman to imply racial motivation in killing of Trayvon Martin
- in 2009 Contessa Brewer edited a photo to hide the fact that a gun-bearing tea partier was African American
- coverage of congressional hearings was edited to suggest that a parent of a Newtown murder victim was heckled by a 2nd amendment proponent
- during the 2012 presidential election, Andrea Mitchell edited tape of Mitt Romney to create a gaffe where none existed
