MSNBC Edited Romney Wawa Video
By Katrina Trinko
June 19, 2012 11:15 A.M.
Turns out that video of Mitt Romney gushing about Wawa was edited by MSNBC in such a way that some crucial context was lost, per blogger SooperMexican. Romney wasn’t just talking about the touchscreen at Wawa being “amazing”; he was talking about it being “amazing” in light of his anecdote told just before about how inefficient government bureaucracy was. Here’s a video comparison of the MSNBC clip with the full version of Romney’s remarks about Wawa:

MSNBC faces pressure on Romney’s Wawa moment
By Erik Wemple
See a difference between this MSNBC clip of Mitt Romney talking about Wawa at a Pennsylvania campaign stop:
And this fuller video of the same appearance?
MSNBC and Andrea Mitchell are under fire from Sooper Mexican, Politico, The Atlantic, among others for how it portrayed the appearance. The rap against MSNBC: Its treatment plays up Romney’s reaction to Wawa’s “touchtone” sandwich-ordering system. “It’s amazing,” Romney tells the crowd. But the treatment doesn’t put his take on the machine in the context of his argument that the private sector knows how to compete, but the federal government does not. In introducing the short clip, Mitchell supposed that the comments could be Romney’s “supermarket scanner moment.”
According to a campaign source, the Romney people reached out to MSNBC over the editing of the tape. They apparently were not happy about it. We’ll see what MSNBC has to say; no response just yet.

stop creating boogeymen here. stop projecting fox victimhood.
Which getbiggers have claimed fox is biased, but MSNBC is not? Link to anything like that?
I thought we were all pretty much in agreement that all of the networks have a bias for their viewing audience.
Which getbiggers (link please) have said only fox is biased?

The Romney campaign should not have any problem with this nor should anyone who doesn't object to Romneys use of the same tactic
They did the same thing in their first attack ad on Obama
As Willard said - "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander"

msnbc has no excuse. they can't condemn romney for his shady ass use of editied clips, if they're going to do it too.
both msnbc and romney are scumsucking d-bags who sniff bus seats after fat people stand up. plain and simple.

I watched the clip showing the youtube and MSNBC video side by side
I don't see what the big deal is ?

Of course you don't, you are a die hard leftist. They were trying to create a moment like GHWB w the checkout scanner back in 1992.

yeah I know but I didn't see it that way and the stuff they edited out didn't make any difference anyway
I don't think this made Romney look bad
He's a rich old fart who goes to horse ballet competitions
Who gives a shit if he's amazed by a touch screen at a fast food joint
Plenty of other old farts would be just as amazed and the stuff they left out didn't make any difference or make his amazement any less genuine
This is nothing compared to Romney running ad ad of Obama quoting McCain and pretending it's an actual quote from Obama
no comparison at all

Do you think Obama wants to discuss the economy? lol!

Of course and healthcare are everything else he's done
I don't expect you to actually understand that
the thread yesterday about one of Obama's law professors just highlghted the futility in having an actual conversation with you

LOL. Obama is going have nothing to say at all once obamacare gets tossed.

I was in Whole Foods in Greenwich CT once looking for a sandwich and saw some stuck up wasp bitch in the whole equestrian outfit making a whole scene of herself.
I walked right out and went to Taco Bell instead down the street.

I had a few friends that competed in Dressage. It really is difficult and is an aesthetic sport.

nothing at all and nothing at all wrong with Romney being "amazed" by touch screen at a food joint. Who gives a shit
-

He wasn`t "amazed" by it. Did you not watch the unedited video? I am no fan of Romney, but if you are going to go down this route as the Republicans have, that makes you no better and if you believe such bullshit to be true, then you are a moron.
-
Msnbc is most left leaning of all the networks and the most guilty of unethical editing. Their parent network got caught editing the fuck out of the Zimmerman tape too.
Fuck 'em; I would hope that they would be fined except that we have a socialist party in power currently and they tacitly encourage such behavior.

“It’s amazing,” Romney tells the crowd.
like I said previously - I watched both and I don' think the stuff they took out changed the context of what he said and I also don't give a shit that he thought it was amazing. My phone can do some amazing things too. Who gives a shit

::)
-
BTW - I don't buy Ronmey's anecdote of a 33 page change of address form
he's either full of shit or it wasn't merely a change of address form
My bet is that the story is a complete and total fabrication
Maybe Rick Santorum is advising him on how to make up complete bullshit to scare/enrage a crowd full of dumbfound dimwits
-
link ???
Was kidding e you mr sensitive.
-
I seriously doubt Romney was amazed by anything at a WaWa. Why would he be?
-
::)
yep - I watched it before
I still think that Romney was saying it was amazing how they process sandwich order at WaWa's and not that it was amazing how effecient they are compared to his make believe story about a 33 page change of address form
that's why I don't think the edit by MSNBC makes any difference
He is amazed at the touch screen technology
If not, then he coudl have said I went to Jack in the Box and yelled my order into a clowns mouth and then drove around they corner and they handed me my food
-

What he was saying was that he is amazed at the innovation of the private sector compared to how antiquated the. Govt is.
-

cause he's probably never ordered anything with a touch screen before and probably never even been in a WaWa's. Someone on his staff probably told him to say it
old farts find all kinds of technology to be amazing
-

Thats what I got from it as well.

again, I don't see it that way
which I why I have no problem with the edit

Sort of like Obama w ATMs and kiosks at the airport?

Jesus are you dense.

maybe when your new house has an elevator for your cars, you need more than the 1-page change of address form?

I`ve never used a touch screen to order food from a gas station, nor will I ever. I would NEVER eat at such a disgusting place. We have Sheetz down here which I think is like WaWa. Both seem incredibly repulsive.
People of all ages are amused by stupid shit: "Smart Phone" Apps", Team Sports and Talking Navigation. Who gives a shit.
-
Jesus are you dense.
I watched the clip and have my own opinion
I also said from the beginning that I don't think the edited clip makes Romney look bad or out of touch or whatever it is that MSNBC is trying to imply
most of the people who will vote for Romney would probably be amazed by a touch screen

Well he is a car guy. His Dad was President of American Motors. I don`t see anything wrong with a car elevator to keep classic cars pristine.

Romney is a liar but then look at his audience
Santorum rolled out a new absurd lie every other day of his campaign and the morons he was talking to just ate it up and never considered for a second that what he was saying sounded ridiculous

He doesn't lie anymore or less than the Usurper does. And save us the asinine, fabricated retort that will follow this post. No one gives a shit about what a brain dead lemming like yourself thinks.

we've been over this before
Romney tells flat out fucking lies and then get's called on them and says "so what"
Let's start with his video of Obama quoting McCain. That is edited so that you think it's Obama talking
If you have no problem with that then you shoul have no problem with this stupid WaWa thing either
-
Both are dishonest and both should be ashamed of themselves at this point.

Romney was called out by left, right and center on his ad showing Obama quoting McCain and he stands by it
He was called on by left, right and center on his 100% lie about Solyndra and he stands by it
I'm sure there are others I have forgotten and more to come in the future
the man is a pathological liar

And we've been over this before, you pathetic, nutless lemming. They are both pathological liars who have shown themselves willing to say anything to get votes.
You are arguably the most pathetic person on this forum. There are only a handful of people on here who are so pathetically obsessed with their specific side that they can't admit ANYTHING.

you clearly haven't read my posts.
I speak out all the time when Obama or Dems do something I don't agree with
-
Good grief. Not only are they a biased rag that with terrible ratings, they really suck at being deceptive. It's like a little kid sneaking a cookie and walking away with crumbs all over his mouth.

thats not the point straw, the point is obama is also a flat out liar even more so than romney...
