    But how they present it to the interviewee is as a serious interview, not a comedy movie. Rudy Guiliani didn’t go into that interview thinking “This is a comedy show” He was fooled into thinking it was a “real interview with a republican news group” or something like that (I forget how they presented themselves, but it was as a “real” news organization)

    I’d say that’s more of a problem then misrepresenting real interviews by using frankencuts (which has been done that way for decades, but still a scumbag movie when in a documentary)

      Did you read the original article? It wasn’t just “frankencuts,” they were basically harassed in the interviews.

      Also, nothing you can say will make me feel bad about Rudy Guliani getting tricked

        Thanks for summarizing your point “It’s ok when it happens to people I don’t like.”

          No. It’s okay when it happens to a far right extremist who support oppressing the masses. Guliani has enabled the far right and provided conspiracy theories about GA election workers whose lives were ruined by harassment.
