Todd Gitlin, a professor and media ethics specialist at Columbia University’s Journalism School, said both the edit and the initial apology were not appropriate.

“The editing was indeed manipulative – and I go further: malpractice,” he wrote in an e-mail.

“An apology for making somebody feel bad is not a serious apology. It doesn’t reckon with right and wrong, it only says, ‘I’m sorry somebody felt bad.’ A misrepresentation is a misrepresentation regardless of whether somebody feels bad, good, or appreciative.”

...you know you done screwed the pooch!
