You Say Tomato, I Say Tomato: Edwards Supporter Provides Context for the Michelman Clip on HillaryHub.com

An oft-cited benefit of internet (and YouTube) politics is the ability for John and Jane Public to fact check what is coming from the campaigns.

Yesterday, HillaryHub.com (from the Clinton campaign) posted video of Kate Michelman talking about the importance of Hillary being in the race:

Nice things to say all around, from Michelman…

But’s it’s not all she said. An Edwards supporter posted the full clip:

In the full clip, Michelman makes it clear that she supports John Edwards.

So there’s just a little example of a campaign trying to forward a message (Clinton pulling pro-Hillary lines from an interview) and the people pushing back with a little context (the Edwards supporter posting what Michelman really was trying to say).

There will be a lot more of this in all directions and from all sides.

Ps. To the Clinton campaign – you’ve mispelled Michelman’s name in your YouTubization of the Hardball segment.
