This is disgusting. I want to know who at Fox News knew that they were feeding lies to the public, and I want those people fired. I want public apologies and firings next time this happens, too.

The videos that have been released appear to have been edited, in some cases substantially, including the insertion of a substitute voiceover for significant portions of Mr. O'Keefe's and Ms. Giles's comments, which makes it difficult to determine the questions to which ACORN employees are responding.
