After weeks spent attacking two Missouri labor studies professors with heavily edited footage of their classes, Andrew Breitbart's Big Government ran a lengthy "first-hand account" from a conservative college student named Philip Christofanelli. In this account, Christofanelli that he was not associated with Insurgent Visuals, the group that posted the spliced video. He wrote:

Since that time, an organization known as Insurgent Visuals has released videos of the class, which have gained considerable media attention. To be clear, I am not Insurgent Visuals, nor am I associated with them. I did not edit any videos or put them online. I did, however, download the original videos off of the class website and give them out in their entirety to a number of my friends in order to obtain other opinions on the propriety of what occurred in the class, and of the steps I should take moving forward.
He sketched a similar timeline today during an interview with Big Journalism editor Dana Loesch on her radio program, The Dana Show. There, he said:

I gave the whole classes to a couple of-- I mean, a few of my friends, and I didn't expect it to really blow up from there. It was when Insurgent Visuals released their videos that I really saw that it had become a huge issue.

Dumb kid admitted violating privacy regs. Both universities have released statements verifying the tapes were heavily edited before Breitbart put them on his website.

2. Time for him to name his friends to whom he gave the tapes

6. Yes -

those would be his friends; which coincides with his statement, "...steps I should take moving forward."

4. I tried to find the videos...

... but they have all been removed. Seems like the video would be attached to the reports.

8. Is there any reference to Breitbart that does NOT also include...

... the phrase "heavily edited"?

Seriously, if you HAVE to edit people to make them "say" whatever it is that you believe they "say all the time" because you can't find any examples of them actually saying it... then why haven't you figured out yet that you're wrong? That's like taking photos of the globe and Photoshopping them into a level horizon and then using your new image to convince people in your belief that the Earth is actually flat.
