THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[HairOfTheDog]

Was the film actually edited or is it just the cops word over the filmmaker?

Almost all films are edited; sometimes the editing is done to support the filmmaker's views.

Horowitz edited the film, as is his style. Horowitz has been criticized for his gonzo style of journalism, which owes more to Michael Moore and “The Daily Show” than CNN.

In the past he has filmed interviews without permission, provoked onlookers’ reactions with outrageous stunts and edited footage to ridicule interviewees. Horowitz defends his methodology as accurate, though he admits it is “confrontational and provocative.”

On Monday, two police officers he interviewed for his Sweden documentary, in which Horowitz claimed Muslims are overrepresented among perpetrators of criminal activity, said he edited their answers manipulatively. Horowitz denied the charge and attributed their reactions to pressure from their superiors.

So, it's the cops' word against the filmakers' in the edited film.

The point was that nothing Trump said on Saturday about Sweden is validated and that's a problem. Again, there was no immigrant/terrorist incident in Sweden on Friday night as Trump falsely claimed. That's indisputable and can't be successfully deflected.
