Breitbart.tv Tracks Down TV Reporter Who Doctored John Gibson ‘Scrotum’ Audio

John Sanders is the technology reporter for WBAL-TV in Baltimore. He says he made the video on his own for fun. In this interview Sanders says he used an annotation on the video to indicate the Gibson audio had been altered.

A copy of Sanders original version (which has been deleted by YouTube) is in the related links section along with the "clean cut" version posted by blogger Johnny Dollar.

Late Friday night we'll post the long form edition of The B-Cast which looks at this issue in depth. Johnny Dollar and Steve Krakauer from TV Newser are on the program. Neither can recall seeing any annotation on the earliest posting of the video.

Andrew,

Sanders claims that he made the video as a joke and he claims that the minute he uploaded it he put an annotation box on the video saying that John Gibson didn’t say what was in the video.

There is no other way to say this other than that is just not the case. The video was up for some time before the annotation box was added and that was after the reality of the video’s doctoring was starting to explode in the blogosphere. I had watched that video multiple times and cloned it and no annotation box appeared until later in the day. – Chuck Norton, Editor IUSB Vision Web Log – http://tinyurl.com/cprb5s

What a lying scumbag this guy is. Sanders really must think everyone is as stupid as his lefty, democratic friends.

[...] cowards on race, the Huffington post launched an attack at Fox News with a video purporting to show John Gibson comparing (Black Attorney General) Eric Holder To a “Monkey With a Bright Blue Scrotum”. [...]

Chuck Norton,

I agree with you. I happened to see the clip right after it was posted, and never saw any annotation at Newser, Johnny Dollar or when I went to see what was posted at Huffington. I actually checked to see if there was a comment of some sort by the poster, as to why and what the reason it was posted. Also, I never saw who posted it being prominent. So, I hate to say it, but I don’t believe a word this dude says. I think he added the annontation after he started getting a glimmer of the idea it was blowing up. The reason he said he made it makes absolutely no sense. I call BS.

[...] out in Baltimore. I love a good coincidence don’t you? Sanders is the creator of the video. Brietbart News tracked him down and interviewed him. Sanders claims that he made the video as a joke and he claims that the minute [...]

WHAT A STUPID JERK!   February 20th, 2009 - 11:51 pm

1. This guy KNOWS BETTER, if he is ANY sort of a reporter or journalist, than to FALSIFY A REPORT like this.

2. He “thought it was funny” and “had no idea it would be circulated around the Net and become explosive.” ??!? How NAIVE & STUPID & DISINGENUOUS CAN YOU GET…

3. Let’s hope he gets SUED by Gibson and others, and learns a LESSON from this STUPID AND ARROGANT little stunt.

He really should be jailed for this, however, I’m sure nothing will happen to him because Democrats are above the law! Gibson should sue him for defamation though!

This Schmuck is a TECHNOLOGY REPORTER and he claims that he just intended it for a few friends.

Right. Who knew such a thing could happen? Certainly not a Technology Reporter.

Imagine if Ariana got her video’s directly from the source, not from YouTube. Can Gibson sue Huffington and Sanders?

This isn’t new. I was checking out some photo’s of Bush that were supposed to be funny and found one that raised my suspicions. It stated that Bush couldn’t find his heart during a memorial service for the 9/11 fallen. So I tracked down another photo of the same event.

And not even an apology for the “supposed” misunderstanding he created. It’s evident he’s an arrogant liar and a jerk. No humility, of course, because liberals’ intentions are always innocent.

John Sanders is a prime example of a Liberal caught in his screw up and then he attempts to fumble and bumble his way out of it! Pathetic!

Hey John, didn’t work – you just confirmed you’re a liar!

Have journalists learned nothing from Rathergate? No journalist in his right mind would be doctoring the audio track of a news program like this, even to make a joke.

It is interesting to read so many comments from people who know nothing about the situation other than what they have read. How is is that so many perfect people who have never made a mistake in their lives have all made comments? Thank goodness the world has people like you. Is this what you do? Troll message boards and make nasty comments about people you don’t even know? About situations you don’t really know anything about? How sad and pathetic.

Do you people not find talking about a monkey’s bright blue scrotum funny? Because i sure as hell do. Had your son/daughter done this you probably would have found it funny.

Joke or not (and i can assure you it was), Huffington Post should have verified the authenticity of the video. How could they have thought it was real in the first place?? I mean, seriously? Just another case of a supposedly “legitimate” news resource going after the story but not the truth.
