Why the White House's 'Dropped Audio' Alibi Is Absurd

The White House’s explanation of how the audio of French President Francois Hollande’s mention of “Islamist terrorism” disappeared from the official White House video is absurd on the face of it. After MRCTV exposed the missing audio, the White House posted an excuse, claiming there was a problem with “the audio during the recording” and that this led to a “drop in audio”:

“A technical issue with the audio during the recording of President Hollande's remarks led to a brief drop in the audio recording of the English interpretation. As soon as this was brought to our attention, we posted an updated video online here with the complete audio, which is consistent with the written transcript we released yesterday.”
