Frankenbite

1. A frankenbite allows editors to manufacture "story" efficiently and dramatically by extracting the salient elements of a lengthy, nuanced interview or exchange into a seemingly blunt, revealing confession or argument.

2. In reality television, the process of editing two or more sound bites together to create a different result, to fix grammar, or to change to meaning of a sentence.

Example: Adding "not" to the phrase "I'm here to make friends" results in "I'm not here to make friends".
Please frankenbite that interview so he is speaking in present tense.
