Gibson does also directly say that he believes there's a Uh-huh. Shouldn't need to be asked, but it really was! He says yes, in a roundabout way.

He didn't watch it! He didn't watch it. He's making these declarative statements about things that they cut out. They cut out all the important stuff. He doesn't know that. And here's the thing. It's not important whether or not anything Mel Gibson said was cut out or not. The reality is immaterial. There's a party line for Alex and his ilk, and it resonates with the emotional reality that the audience has. It feels true that they cut out all the important stuff at the interview, and so that's what Alex is reporting to them. It really is the definition of telling the audience what they want to hear, and Alex knows what the audience wants well enough that he doesn't even have to watch the show to tell you that the shit was cut out.

Well, they were, and it was an attempt to try to trap him, and I think that she failed miserably.
