MSNBC could learn a thing or two from Fox News.
Comedy Central's Jon Stewart noted Thursday that the left leaning network was moderating their praise for President Barack Obama. On the other hand, Fox News hasn't held back with their criticism and selectively edited clips.
Did you know nothing of your obligation to shape the news towards your desired electoral goal?" asked Stewart.
Fox News' Sean Hannity showed how using a partial clip can help make his point. Hannity played a short clip of Obama that simply said, "Taxes are scheduled to go up substantially next year for everybody."
But the full clip had a different meaning. "Under the tax plan passed by the last administration, taxes are scheduled to go up substantially next year for everybody. By the way, this was by design," said Obama.
Stewart explained where MSNBC has gone wrong "See? MSNBC, amateurs, starting clips later and cutting them off before the speaker finished the thoughts' full construction can be a useful tool in helping your audience understand what you want them to think," he said.
"It's a fun and easy way to make people you disagree with say things that make them unelectable," said Stewart.
