BREAKING: ABC News BUSTED For Deceptive Editing In New Interview?
Big credit to @TracyS1230 on X for some eagle eyes…
I’m not saying I know 100% for sure about this, but I am saying it sure does look like ABC News just got busted for deceptive editing and perhaps splicing together two different video clips in their recent interview of Wes Moore.
Watch as Moore appears to be talking in the video but there’s no audio of his voice.
The only audio and video are of the interviewer lady speaking.
So why is Moore’s mouth moving?
And yes, I can’t pass up an opportunity to work in a classic joke here:
Q: How can you tell when a politician is lying?
A: When their lips (or mouth) are moving.
But in all seriousness, why is his mouth seemingly moving while she is talking?
And why in the world would you need to splice together clips like that?
Watch here and see for yourself:
Sure does look strange to me!
What do you think?
And getting lost in all of this is the fact that it’s a pretty good interview!
This lady did not let him off the hook, proving quite clearly that he repeatedly lied about getting a Bronze Star from the military.
Which means I guess our joke was right again:
Q: How can you tell when a politician is lying?
A: When their lips (or mouth) are moving.
What a total piece of trash this guy is!

TRANSCRIPT:
Are you claiming you had a Bronze Star in 2006 when you were applying for a job? Why did you do that?
Well, as I, I think it’s, uh, I’m, I’m deeply proud of my service to this country. And I know my soldiers that I served with are deeply proud. And, uh, and the veteran community is as well. And I think it’s pretty common knowledge and, or, you know, common belief that when your commanding officers and your superior officers tell you, “Listen, we put you in and we’ve gone through everything, so as you’re going through your application, include it.” I, I included it.
And I didn’t think about it. But in 2008, on PBS, they said, they introduced you to Gwen Ifill saying you had earned a Bronze Star Medal. That’s 2008. In 2010, you were on the Colbert show when he said you had a Bronze Star. You did not correct him.
You had to know you did not have one then.
Well, it was, I, I did not go back and, you know, go back and tell the Pentagon, “Hey, I was told to put this on my application,” and didn’t. And honestly, at that point, I—
But we’re not, I’m not talking about the Pentagon. I’m talking about you knew in those interviews you did not have one.
No, because e- e- even at the time of those interviews, it wasn’t something that I even thought about.
When I came home, it wasn’t something I even thought about. I didn’t think about the fact that, “Hey, I wonder if my paperwork processed out.” Right now, I’m thankful that the military, after they found out that the paperwork was lost and didn’t process, that they came back and awarded me the Bronze Star.
So I cr— I, yes, I do have— Yes, in 2024. So I do have a Bronze Star that I earned in Afghanistan, and a Combat Action Badge that I earned in Afghanistan. So I’m proud of that, but that’s not why I served.
And I—
But do you, do you regret not correcting when you were introduced that way?
I mean, I, I don’t regret not going back and consistently looking over my, my service records. I don’t. I’m thankful for the service I did. I’m grateful for the fact that I had the opportunity to lead soldiers in combat.
