Ocasio-Cortez Gets Colberted; Libs React with Horror

This kind of patched interview is standard fare for Stephan Colbert's Late Show:

.@conservmillen grills congressional hopeful and progressive “it girl” @Ocasio2018 on her socialist agenda and knowledge of government... or lack thereof.

We all know it's faked, it doesn't even try very hard to conceal it and it still makes the point. But you're not supposed to do it to lefties:

Republicans are so scared of me that they’re faking videos and presenting them as real on Facebook because they can’t deal with reality anymore.

Here’s one bonafide truth:
Election Day is November 6th. https://t.co/Z7MfisgiWl

Buzzfeed was all over the case of the “doctored” video:

CRTV, which created the video, did not say why they created the video. In an emailed statement, they said that, “Satire has a long tradition and plays a valuable role in political discourse. Many comedians, late night hosts, and TV programs like Saturday Night Live have used satire for decades. We love Allie’s creative work and look forward to liberals feigning outrage at satire in future videos.”

Just a little over a week ago, a different Buzzfeed author praised Sacha Baron Cohen’s new show which uses, wait for it…satirical interviews to mock its subjects. And get this, he doesn’t wear a big sign saying “satire” when he interviews people under false pretenses.

and Vox:

Wow. This is Ocasio-Cortez's PBS intv w/ Margaret Hoover (https://t.co/OhjfHuWqQC) spliced together w/ a CRTV "interviewer." Notice that they never appear on camera together, and the interviewer shot is lit different + higher res? Took 1min on google to sort out. Reprehensible. https://t.co/khu8uXQnpV

Allie Beth Stuckey, the "interviewer" and creator of the video, had this to say:

If you have to do research to figure out that a video that blatantly absurd is satirical you shouldn't be on the Internet. https://t.co/0G77zOT23T
