Why did Adam Nagourney and the New York Times and Oliver Willis at Media Matters knowingly lie on Cliven Bundy?
In Bundy's unedited remarks he said far more than what appeared in the New York Times and
Media Matters - and all of the viral propaganda that has followed in the wake of these libelous original reports.
... and so what I've testified to you -- I was in the Watts riot, I seen the beginning fire and I seen that last fire. What I seen is civil disturbance. People are not happy, people are thinking they don't have their freedoms, they didn't have these things, and they didn't have them.
We've progressed quite a bit from that day until now, and we sure don't want to go back. We sure don't want the colored people to go back to that point. We sure don't want these Mexican people to go back to that point. And we can make a difference right now by taking care of some of these bureaucracies, and do it in a peaceful way.
Those comments appear to change the context of the next section, which
was quoted in the New York Times. One clear point the rancher made:
America has progressed since the 1965 race riots and "we sure don't want
to go back."
Now watch the edited version of Bundy’s remarks as promoted by Media Matters and as reported in the NY Times:
