MSNBC Edited Romney Wawa Video
By Katrina Trinko

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?

[Straw Man]

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 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

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.

[godeep]

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
