How many instances do we now have of creative editing by the folks at MSNBC? 

There was the union’s paid MSNBC commentator, Ed Schultz, and his editing of my remarks, of course.  I expressed my hope that some carjacking victims might turn the tables on the carjackers and shoot a few of them dead.  Schultz edited out the references to carjackers and made it look like I was calling for people to get guns and just go out there and start shooting thugs.  Then there was the George Zimmerman 911 call.   During that call the 911 operator asked Zimmerman if he knew the race of the person he was calling about.  Zimmerman replied “I don’t know.  He looks black.”  MSNBC edited the tape to remove the question from the operator and made it sound like Zimmerman basically said “I’m following this guy, he looks black.”

Now it’s Mitt Romney’s turn.  Romney was campaigning in Pennsylvania.  There’s a store in Pennsylvania called Wawa’s.  They sell hoagies.  Romney asked the crowd if they got their hoagies at Wawa’s.  He then went on to compare Wawa’s to a government operation … addressing the innovation that occurs in the private sector vs. the burdensome plodding of government.  He also talked about the regulatory roadblocks and paperwork government throws in the way of the private sector --- yet it was Wawa’s, not the government, that created a process of ordering custom hoagies on a touch screen tablet.  Romney then called that “amazing.”  MSNBC edited the tape to make it sound like Romney had no idea in the world this type of technology existed.

“It’s amazing!  You have a touchtone keypad, and you touch that, touch this, go pay the cashier, there’s your sandwich.”

 There was no reference in the MSNBC piece about Romney’s lengthy comparison of the innovation in the private sector vs. government.  The purpose of the editing was to make Romney sound completely out of touch … completely bamboozled by technology.

All part of the effort of the ObamaMedia to make sure their tracks are covered and their guy is reelected.

Tell me again how the media isn’t biased.
