Default MSNBC Creatively Edits Romney Speech
It's obvious why they're still in business... they're like FOX News... this country would be so much better if everyone who relies on one of those two channels as their primary source of news was drowned in the ocean.

That crossed my mind, but I haven't bothered to check.

Yup. That's MSNBC for you. It hits harder if you watch it without the context and it just looks like wow Romney is an old man out of touch.

****ing MSNBC

And I've never seen Romney shown in the media making a down-to-earth argument and being funny. Since most Americans are only getting their view of him from the media, this sucks.

Romney seems a little out of touch, but the media is presenting a caricature.

Every news company cuts out extraneous junk and the difference is the good media companies don't change the meaning of the statement while companies like Fox Noise edit the **** out of it so that it appears the person said the exact opposite of what they actually said. I personally have absolutely no problem with editing out the worthless in between talk which is off topic.

To be fair, Romney didn't really have much of a point. It was more of a ramble that he eventually realized wasn't going anywhere.

His Arnie bit was good in that video. Then he kind of lost focus.

Even if it "changes the meaning of the statement" which MSNBC did here?
I stopped watching after 2 minutes and not seeing anything. Did something happen after the two minute mark? Up to that point it looked like they were just removing excess chatter.

Personally, I loved his 'Cheezy grits' comment. Apparently he loves them.

Can't tell if the lower one is a man or a woman. Knowing MSNBC, it's entirely possible "it" is both

That's the typical scenario. FOX News gets the best ratings of any news channel because it is, among all of them, the only one that is not liberal.
Alpert already explained where Fox News' ratings come from.

Memo to NBC: What the hell is wrong with you?
June 19, 2012 By Deacon Greg Kandra


Seriously.

First, there was the Trayvon Martin boondoggle a few months ago.

Then yesterday, evidence of some creative editing regarding Mitt Romney’s visit to a Wawa in Pennsylvania.

Today, we have Andrea Mitchell’s spectacularly lame followup to “criticism of the Romney clip edit” — which amounted to Ms. Mitchell saying, with a sigh and a frown, “Oh, bother. Fine. Here’s what we left out.” She failed to acknowledge what the “criticism” entailed; she neglected to point out how the editing misrepresented the event being covered; and she offered nothing resembling an apology or an admission of responsibility for something that was, as a matter of fact, irresponsible.

I’m tired. Truly. I’ve grown weary of trying to defend the indefensible and explain the inexplicable. For years, people have stomped their feet and pounded their fists and snorted “Liberal media bias!” and I’ve always tut-tutted and shooshed them and said, “No, no. Calm down. They meant well. It was just a misunderstanding. A mistake. These things happen.” I spent over 25 years working in the oft-reviled Mainstream Media and I saw up close and personal how the sausage was made. I knew the people who wielded the knives and wore the aprons, and could vouch (most of the time, anyway) for their good intentions.

But now?

Forget it. I’m done. You deserve what they’re saying about you. It’s earned. You have worked long and hard to merit the suspicion, acrimony, mistrust and revulsion that the media-buying public increasingly heaps upon you. You have successfully eroded any confidence, dispelled any trust, and driven your audience into the arms of the Internet and the blogosphere, where biases are affirmed and like-minded people can tell each other what they hold to be true, since nobody believes in objective reality any more. You have done a superlative job of diminishing what was once a great profession and undermining one of the vital underpinnings of democracy, a free press.

Good job.

I just have one question:

What the hell is wrong with you guys?

While I don't oppose equal opportunity for shemales, I think they'd probably be better off sticking to radio.

Rachel Maddow should be judged by her words and her words alone. That is to say, she should be judged poorly.
While I agree with this sentiment and the fact that I find her arguements intellectually dishonest, apparently within the dim bulb intellects of the chattering punditry class she is thought to be a deep thinker.
