Blatant blackout of Ron Paul on CSPAN

Can't find the title of this video with the search function. Sorry if mis-searched

CSPAN anchor misreads a text message "by accident".



It's so grotesque and dishonest.

Peace

edit: not quite sure it's the appropriate forum

It's amazing that anyone knows who Ron Paul is.

I LOLed at his reading ability.

Did you ever consider the 'possibility' that the clip has been edited to intentionally include the 'misspeak' (?) ??

gotta love the smell of bias, agenda and opinion in the morning
:shk:

How could you misread something like that? As soon as he said mitt Romney he should have stopped dead in his tracks because he said doesn't flip flop in the same sentence!

We can only comment on what's there, how are we being biased if there's no evidence to suggest the clip has been edited? To me it would be more biased to say the clip has been edited only because you disagree with it.

Wow even in the YouTube comments people are saying its a blatant edit and whatnot, instead of just checking the guys twitter for themselves. Twitter
I hope this was an honest mistake from the reporter, but it doesnt look like an honest mistake from the reporter..

Of course. It's always a matter of possibilities. But it wouldn't surprise me if it actually happened. Plus the inlaying of the text message seems to fit the captions and logo.

Your thoughts?

Read the dudes twitter page, the original comment is right there along with a lot of complaints about them changing it.

This is his twitter and he's also saying they said Romney instead of Paul

twitter

Well the twitter screen isn't edited. However, the reporter isn't shown while saying Romney so it could be voice over. If this is real, it is so ridiculous I don't even have words to describe it. Whether you support Paul or not, his treatment is beyond unfair.

Did you ever "think" to check the man's twitter it wasn't a edit, obviously somebody else has an agenda and is bias.

Umm, yeah, sure anything in this world is possible but watching & listening to that video it's clear it is NOT edited & the reporter DID say Mitt Romney instead of Ron Paul. The poor sound quality actually helps determine it is not an edit.

And to further prove it wasn't edited ^

Ok so when Dr Ron Paul becomes the next President of the United States, this reporter will still accidentally call him mitt romney... Did this reporter not get the latest memo? Ron Paul is still running...

Agreed, provide evidence first that it IS edited before you speak of people being biased.

I'm looking at C-SPAN's video library here www.c-spanvideo.org... and interestingly, that video segment is missing. If you look at the top right corner of the segment, it occurs at 7:21 am on May 13, which is supposed to occur in this video: www.c-spanvideo.org...

But notice at the 2:47 mark in the video, the time goes from 6:45 to 9:45, skipping over this video segment which occured at 7:21.
Looks like C-Span intentionally left this portion out, so I think it's safe to say beyond a doubt the video has not been edited.

Edited: Disregard what I just said, the time difference was because of the time zones. However I did find the video segment on C-SPAN's own website, right here: www.c-spanvideo.org... Go to 21:14 and clearly he says Mitt Romney and not Ron Paul.

I shouldn't have to repeat this, but RP is being ignored on a lot of other networks...There is blatant blackouts against RP regardless. Why is that?

Thats the one, definitely not edited.

hell ... i'm as beige as ... well ... Beige

He can say whatever he wants on his twitter and what have you .... but to claim that 'audio clip' isn't edited with and for overall intent and or purpose ... is B.S.

sometimes the obvious is just ... obvious.

The burden of proof isn't on someone to prove a negative, it's to prove a positive, which means if you're suggesting the video has been edited, you have to show evidence to suggest that.
So since the burden of proof is always on the claim that X exists rather than on the claim that X does not exist, simply saying the video has been edited does nothing to support your position.
