TheNyquilKid: Or when the Romney campaign it self does it. They are still running a campaign where they quote Obama quoting John McCain and they just happen to leave out the fact that he is quoting McCain.

At one time the media were called the Fourth Estate. They still smoke cigars and talk about how they are the last bastion holding the government to a standard of honesty. Glad that lie is exposed.

Politicians are expected to do that. The media thinks more highly of themselves. And brag about it. Then give us fake but accurate. Edited tapes. Infotainment. And still think that somehow, they are the Fourth Estate and due respect for holding the government accountable.

Eirik: Why is it that it is so immensely worse to deal with medicare

It's not.

Some producer thought it would be cute to get a Romney "scanner moment" and failed while missing the real story which is that

ROMNEY LIED.

AGAIN.

msnbc accidently did him a favor the first time around and his campaign is ineptly lobbying to have his lie exposed.

So Wawa uses computer screens and the customer has to fill out their own order? How is this creating jobs?

/also, when a news organization uses advertising, things get turned. like a worm.

Mikey1969: And buy 'The Network'

Who do you think we are, Mitt Romney?

/Firefox knows Mitt Romney - how to spell it at least
//Firefox didn't add Obama to the spell checker database until sometime last year
/Firefox has a conservative bias

Mrtraveler01: I'm not defending it moreso than pointing out the hypocrisy of those on the right decrying MSNBC for doing the same thing Fox News has done.

Other than they don't, you're absolutely correct.

Diogenes: jehovahs witness protection: But MSNBC isn't biased at all, are they?

The added context doesn't really alter anything. And then they went and aired the whole thing anyway.

If they're trying to bias, they're doing a shiatty job.

Youre the definition of useful idiot. Good job. Do you remember when HWB went to a grocery store and was shown a brand new type of laser scanning system that the store claimed was far superior to the previous models, and expressed that he was impressed by the new technology. Then the media played it as if he had never seen a laser bar code reader before and claimed he was out of touch. That was the goal with the Romney piece. Mitchells intro and follow up make it clear that they were trying to give the impression that Romeny had never seen a touch-pad before, hence he would be "out of touch" with ordinary Americans. The clip in context shows that he compared a 33 page government address change document requiring months of paper chasing to the simplicity of the WaWa touch pad ordering system as an example of government inefficiency vs private competitive-ness and ingenuity.

If you cannot grasp that you are not safe while holding a television remote.

The scary thing is that its the advent of camera phones and you tube that are exposing this kind of behavior. It is likely that selective editing to bias reporting has been going on for decades prior to these examples.

And for the record, I have never seen a wawa touchpad before. The only time in my life I got a hoagy from a wawa was ages ago.I guess I must be out of touch. Pardon me, I have to go set a toilet on a closet flange cause thats what we elitists do all day long.

More_Like_A_Stain: This text is now purple: ALL GIRLS AGREE TO PULL PANTIES DOWN: It left out the part where Mitt claimed that this was proof that private industry was miles ahead of the government in technological innovation, despite the fact that anyone who has set foot in a government office in the past 15 years has seen touch-screen, self-serve kiosks.

Really? The last couple of government offices I've visited have had knob&tube wiring, for god's sake.

The tubes are for the internets and the knobs are for...well...the knobs just work there.

City hall around here is resisting any change to digital because analog preserves office jobs and pensions. Government is NOT in the efficiency business at any level.

archichris: The clip in context shows that he compared a 33 page government address change document requiring months of paper chasing to the simplicity of the WaWa touch pad ordering system as an example of government inefficiency vs private competitive-ness and ingenuity.

HE LIED.

There is no such document. Mitchell's mistake was missing that story.

SouthernFriedYankee: And yes, I want Obama gone. But that doesn't mean I support Romney. I really don't think he's gonna be much different, overall. Wars will continue, jobs will not be created, Wall Street & the Fed will continue to rape us all, and the Constitution will remain at the bottom of the bird cage. Meh.

So that's why we should vote Republican. "It's not like the Republicans make things THAT much worse so...why not?"

Smelly Pirate Hooker: There's seriously a business called "WaWa"?

Yep.

According to Wikipedia, Wawa Inc. is a chain of convenience store/gas stations located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
