Remember when George Zimmerman was arrested for shooting Trayvon Martin? Remember how an NBC editor doctored the telephone tapes of the 911 calls to make it look like racism was involved? The guy got fired.
Once again NBC strikes with biased editing in favor of their hero, President Obama. On Andrea Mitchell's show, she tried to make Romney look like a dufus and disconnected from the ordinary people by implying with grossly edited audio that he was somehow surprised by seeing touch pad checkout machines at a Wawa store (a supermarket chain based in Wawa, Pa). See how the International Business Times repeated the gaffe story, instead of the real one. Mitt-romney-wawa-video-gaffe-twitter
However, as exposed by a blogger, the actual full length audio has Romney talking about how private industry is so much better that government at competing and creating things that people really need. And how government regulation (using the example of an optometrist he met that day who had tried to change his address using a 33 page form) is so inefficient vs. a simple touch pad for ordering and paying for a hoagie sandwich in Wawa's.
See here for Politico's update on the story where they recognize the context issue: Romneys-wawa-visit Too bad they didn't link to the full video.
