If you follow my blog, you will know that I can&#8217;t stand it when an interview of a news-maker or candidate is edited to make the person look dumb or out of touch. Conservative radio talk hosts do it all the time. I called foul when Breitbart did it with Sherry Sharrod. I&#8217;m no Palin fan, but never-the-less I called foul when the Katy Couric \/ Sarah Palin interview was chopped to make Palin look as ridiculous as possible.  <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t stand when quotes are taken out of context, no matter which side of the fence does it. <\/p>\n<p>Well, MSNBC has, it seems, taken the art to a new level!  Here is the MSNBC video, making Romney look completely out of touch:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lq5W3gxWLxw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here is the side by side video of both the MSNBC edited version and the full speech:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/114124\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As Andrea Mitchell says&#8230; It&#8217;s Amazing!  <\/p>\n<p>I am stunned. This is as bad&#8230; No&#8230;.  Much worse than the Breitbart \/ Sherrod case. At least with that, even though I never bought it, there was a tiny bit of deniability &#8211; that Breitbart may not have had access to the full video when he posted his edited version. MSNBC can make no claims in that regard. And thankfully, the regular press <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/erik-wemple\/post\/msnbc-faces-pressure-on-romneys-wawa-moment\/2012\/06\/19\/gJQApHH0nV_blog.html\">is having none of this either<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On &#8220;Amazing&#8221;&#8230; What should be amazing is that anyone involved with this keeps their jobs. But seing that MSNBC is the mirror image of FOX, I suspect those involved will likely get a raise.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, MSNBC really screwed up this time. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, execs at CNN are going &#8220;Shit, we don&#8217;t do anything nearly as horrible&#8230; How can we have lower ratings than these guys?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And somewhere, out in the wilderness, Keith Olbermann is laughing his head off, going &#8220;Jeez, is Andrea Mitchell just stupid? I wouldn&#8217;t even have gone there!
