What is Think Progress' record in regards to the tapes they release?

[dsc]

Marcus Bachmann claims that the tape where he calls gays barbarians has been doctored. Does Think Progress have a record of doing this? I hope that this isn't true but if it is, we need to acknowledge it. So far the interviewer claims that it was doctored but doesn't have the original interview in their archives.

1. I'd be extremely suprised if they doctor anything. I guess we'll find

out.

4. I would bet the farm the Marcus Bachmann is a liar and a hipocrit.

5. Ha! And when it's proven it wasn't doctored, he'll say aliens controlled him to say it. nt

6. If i have to choose between TP and Bachmann for credibility

I have to choose the Think. As far as I know they are quite scrupulous with their output, no
funny tricks.

7. glad to see their record is good

I do hope the original tape is tracked down.

8. I Thought One Of The MSNBC Shows Had The Unedited Version And Played It Tonight ???

Cant remember which one...

They played it in/for context, and it still showed the same thing.

:shrug:

9. not sure if it was the same or a different tape

I will say that the one tonight appeared to be longer than what I heard before and still had the same context for barbarians.
