Silly me—no, stupid me: for not considering that a James O’Keefe-sponsored NPR video just might possibly maybe could have been. . . edited.
That should have been my first response: Is this even real?
h/t to the commenters at TNC’s joint, especially &chik and his/her link to a critical look at the video at (goddess help me) Glenn Beck’s The Blaze.

gossip rules the world
speaking of speculations:
Why oh why oh why is NPR not a organization that investigates such matters? Wouldn’t you think that a news organization would have investigated before….
Just: Why? I can’t even.
I gotta figure out how to nominate O’Keefe for an Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Editing…
