Nancy Pelosi calls for investigation into misleading video attacks on Planned Parenthood

TAPPER: On the subject of the Planned Parenthood and the attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, have you seen the videos? Is there not anything on those videos that bothers you at all?

PELOSI: I don't stipulate that these videos are real. And the fact is -- and fact is that the research that is being criticized there is research that has been supported. Now, I haven't seen -- I've seen some news reports of it, but I also know that it's not real and you can create any reality that you want.

TAPPER: So OK. Even if you don't accept the videos on their face --

PELOSI: I think they should be investigated as to how they obtained those and doctored those and then had them be accepted as something that was an indictment against Planned Parenthood because that's not true.

This tepid response on the part of our party leadership has become so tiresome. Such cowering and mincing of words simply allows the RWNJs to harness the media, force their lies upon the public with impunity, and cultivate an outrage based on and utterly distorted and false reality. Meanwhile, truth languishes in the darkness.

I'm fed the hell up. We need nothing short of a political revolution.

it's a travesty that the media still references the videos knowing they do not represent the truth.

that in a fucking nutshell is our current media.

what is so obviously an organized mass deception ploy by the GOP, yet again.

Fucking Tapper is either a lazy fool or is being paid well to play the role.

There are false prophets in mass media as well as the GOP, which is probably why they carry each other's water with such pleasure.

I sure hope the next time Democrats have control of the House or the Senate they remember the relentless, time-wasting antics of the Republicans and turn loose an investigation or two of their own. Maybe something like looking into how the Bush administration lied us into war in Iraq? Only this time, require the separate, unaccompanied testimony on the record of the president and vice president, instead of letting them be questioned off the record, not under oath, and with each other.

outright lying that Republicans have embraced as general strategy and the corporate media have elevated to the truths of liberalism.

PP provides the perfect target, as Boehner knows.
