is it any wonder that Americans have no clue what to truly think about foreign relations right now? We're lied to right and left (both literally, figuratively, and politically)

YouTube - Apologize to the World Mr. Wallace and...

I don't know about the validity of a youtube video, but I can tell you this much. Of the Palestinians I've met here in America, most have been intelligent and well mannered. They call themselves Palestinians while propagandists try to say there is no such thing. Are all these seemingly unrelated non terrorist people deranged? One of them was my cardiologist in Arizona.
Many Americans are so easily swayed. I blame it on the school system and lack of active parenting. Children should be exposed to more avenues of information than cartoons and video games and reality [yuck!] T.V.
Now we have a generation of dobasses who get their "news" from Fox and Brush Lintball.

But when someone of the caliber of Mike Wallace edits actual content to make it sound altogether different, that's very disturbing. I hope this video is a hoax. I just can't take anymore revelations about the world I thought I knew.

Of course, ALL news reports are edited. This is simply a case of it being done to further an agenda. I find it appalling.

I don't see any reason to doubt the video ... do you?

I'd like to see other sources to back it up.

At the 28th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards, Wallace received an award for his interview with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which aired on 60 Minutes in 2006. The interview was edited in such a way that Ahmadinejad's words, "I believe that the Israeli government is a fabricated government," were emphasized. Following this statement, Wallace provided a voiceover: "Iran's President Ahmadinejad scares a lot of people when he says things like that." 60 Minutes viewers were not given the opportunity to hear Ahmadinejad's full statement, aired on C-SPAN, proposing that Palestine be allowed to hold democratic elections. "I believe that the American government is blindly supporting this government of occupation. It should lift its support, allow the people to participate in free and fair elections. Whatever happens let it be. We will accept and go along."

Thank you.

So the new accepted prejudiced is against Palestinians. It's worse than bigotry against the Irish back in the day or Blacks. Because it is a bigotry that even refuses to acknowledge a people exist. Perpetrated by ratings hungry media and ruthless politicians. Could the new Roman Empire get any more corrupt?
