‘Fox & Friends’ Deceptively Edits Biden to Tar Him as Racist
https://youtu.be/wzCl_sMrJaI
Fox & Friends on Friday morning took part in some heavy-handed editing of Joe Biden's Veteran’s Day speech to seemingly jump aboard the latest invented right-wing controversy painting the president as having made a racist gaffe while discussing baseball legend Satchel Paige.“
I have adopted the attitude of the great Negro at the time pitcher... his name was Satchel Paige,” Biden said in the footage presented by Fox News before co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy claimed that “Biden’s choice of words” had landed him “in hot water.”
Of course, the Fox News edit of Biden’s remarks (clearly visible when the president’s hand disappears in a jump cut) removed key context showing he stumbled over explaining that Paige was a pitcher in the Negro Leagues before joining Major League Baseball.
As The Washington Post reported, the Fox & Friends edit was just one of many instances (including several others on Fox News’ air) in which right-wing media figures ran with the deceptive cuts to Biden’s speech.
