Wright isn't necessarily Wrong

Over the past month we the voting public have been inundated with the Reverend Wright controversy and the ensuing media feeding frenzy over whether Obama should 'adequately distance' himself from the comments made by Wright. But what we haven't actually gotten is the speech itself, besides the short soundbite pulled out and played ad nauseum ever since, where Wright says "God damn America" and a range of other passionate comments.

And it just happened again, because the FOX interview team went out after an associate of Mr. Wright, Reverend Michael Pfleger.



Now, this shows a five second clip of Pfegler lambasting the FOX reporter, and is followed by a five minute discussion of whether the priest should be sanctioned by the catholic church! And through the entire thing they didn't show any more of the interview, didn't even repeat the first clip.

Here's the full interview, in which the reverend absolutely destroys the reporter on every question he asks.



If you watch this closely, you will see how hard it was for FOX to find any other clips worth using. And you'll also see how hard the reporter worked to push Pfegler into giving a controversial statement. But Pfegler wasn't biting.
