Eric wanted to use an excerpt from a nightline episode, as both an audiovisual aid and a source for his speech. but he only agreed with and wanted to use one of the two guests' interactions with ted koppel, so he edited out the second guest and showed the edited videotape. was this ethical?

No

Explanation:

According to my research on ethicality, I can say that based on the information provided within the question No, editing the video and playing the videotape was not ethical. Eric basically edited the video tape in order to suit his beliefs, therefore removed the second guest and only showed the Ted Koppel side of the interaction which is wrong/unethical and violates the ethical guideline of using sound evidence and reasoning..

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at .
