Brietbart ~ Only Fox "News" was offered full footage of the controversial ACORN videos? [View All]

Andrew Brietbart is patting himself on the back today for mentoring the questionable James O'Keefe III. See http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/20/planting-the-seeds-the-politicized-art-behind-the-acorn-plan/">HERE

In the article linked above, I noted the following, curious statement ~

I told him (O'Keefe) that in addition to launching his compelling and stylized Web videos, we needed to offer the full transcripts and audio to the public in the name of transparency, and to offer Fox News the full footage of each video before each was released. We had to devise a plan that would force the media to see the evidence before they had enough time to destroy these two idealistic 20-something truth seekers. Mr. O’Keefe agreed to post the full audio and full transcript of his video experiences at BigGovernment.com."

His stated reason for hiding videos from various media ~

I felt I had a moral obligation to protect these young muckrakers from the left and from the media, and to devise a strategy that would force the media’s hand.

Now that the media has been "forced" to cover the story, I feel that "transparency" would involve releasing all of the full, unedited and un-"stylized" videos to the public, or at the very least, impartial media sources. Does anyone know if this has been done?

On edit: thanks for the clarification on regarding my original questions. I should know not to start a thread on three hours sleep!
