The Left Donning Their Recyclable Tin Foil Hats
Media Matters and Michael Moore are worried that Fox News may have deliberately erased purportedly resounding applause for President Obama’s recent commencement address at West Point.
In support of all their crazy talk, they offer the White House’s video of the speech (which shows cadets clapping around the 10:26 to 10:30 point of the video). In doing so, neither Media Matters nor Michael Moore offer the inverse of their possible conspiracy theory (i.e., that the White House edited in stock footage of cadets clapping in order to fill a momentary, yet potentially embarassing, teleprompter pause by the President).
Of course, I’m not saying that either occurred. In fact, I’m saying that I really could not care less. But neither theory is any more or less plausible than the other. Yet another great try by Media Matters and Michael Moore attempting to manufacture a story out of something that really could not be less interesting.
Besides, after Obama’s last visit to West Point, would it be any surprise if the applause was tepid?
