Does TV Editing Make Kate Appear Less of A Shrew?originally posted by: Jillita Horton for AC
Jon & Kate Plus 8 is that wonderfully popular reality TV show on TLC about Jon & Kate Gosselin and their eight kids: 9-year-old twins and 5-year-old sextuplets. If you watch enough episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8, as camera crews track every detail of their lives, you'll eventually witness Kate engaged in histrionic tempestuous behavior, while Jon stands by and does nothing. Kate has slapped Jon, degraded him before the kids and has thrown temper tantrums in public.
This all makes Jon & Kate entertaining. There are a lot of "I hate Kate" people out there who continue to watch the show to be entertained by the next Kate tantrum. But there are "I love Kate" fans as well, who insist that in real life, Kate Gosselin can't be all that bad. Many Jon & Kate viewers insist that the show is deliberately edited to make Kate Gosselin come off as a witch; and that the scenes showing Kate on the war path are seen out of context.

At the same time, Kate Gosselin fans insist that this mother of sextuplets is a true inspiration, very loving, a doting mom and loyal wife who has it all together. Where do Kate Gosselin fans get this idea from? NONE OTHER THAN THE TV SHOW !!!!! Because watching Jon & Kate Plus 8 is the only way Kate fans can observe her.So what's my point? To all Kate Gosselin fans: Did it ever occur to you that the show is edited to make Kate look better than she actually is ????
Perhaps what you perceive to be an affectionate, loving, inspirational, doting, even-tempered, sane "has-it-together" mother and wife is actually taken out of context !! In other words, your very argument that editing makes Kate Gosselin look like a shrew is the very argument that can be used against you.
Do you really believe Kate wouldn't be this way if she had only two kids? Come on, you're smarter than that. We all know women who are just like Kate and have only one kid, or treat their husbands shabbily and have NO kids.
