The hacks at Vice did a ghost gun piece for Showtime in which they manipulated the video to speed up the shots from a semi to make it sound full auto-ish. When caught, they said they ran into an audio glitch that they are "working to correct".

Well it is a ghost gun so it makes ghost sounds

:rofl:
It is pretty obvious they added in a bunch of shots. You can see the recoil.

Nothing new here - when NBC News was covering the Clinton gun ban back in the mid-90s, they showed video of full-auto machine guns being fired while Tom Brokaw did the voice-over about restricting "semi-auto" firearms. When NBC was called on it, they said something along the lines of it being an "inadvertent" event with "no intention to deceive" but refused to issue a correction or retraction for this "minor" error.
And then a couple of weeks later, Brokaw & Company did it again.
This from the same network team that rigged a GM pickup with a remotely-detonated incendiary device to make it blow up on cue in order to demonstrate the dangers of side-saddle gas tanks - so their deceit wasn't limited to firearm issues.
I don't think the media has become more honest since then.

And wasn't it NBC that selectively edited the Zimmerman 911 call?

I think you're right.
But NBC isn't alone in pulling this kind of cr@p - remember the CBS news anchor who used forged documents from a dead man to try and rig a Presidential election?

Vice has some interesting shows but are suspect.

NBC was also guilty of fraud with the GM trucks
