Another MSNBC Scandal? Blaze Readers at Campaign Event Claim Network Misled in Video of Rally Chant (With Audio Comparison)
On Wednesday, MSNBC aired a clip of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney leading what looks like a failed “Romney-Ryan” chant at a campaign stop in Ohio on Tuesday, prompting an embarrassed Joe Scarborough to mutter “Oh, sweet Jesus” and a purse-lipped Mika Brzezinski to ask “What’s wrong with those people?”
You can see our coverage of Scarborough’s outburst here, but we’ve included the clip as a refresher:
One day later, while continuing the conversation on how Rep. Paul Ryan overshadows the former Massachusetts governor, MSNBC host Martin Bashir played the same clip (minus the graphic). Although the clip Bashir aired differs slightly from the one aired during “Morning Joe,” the message was the same.
But now things are getting interesting.
If you listen closely, it’s obvious the audio in the clip has been adjusted. But that’s not uncommon. Sound technicians usually cut out the audience to ensure speakers aren’t drowned out (which you can do by simply turning the mics up and down — or you can do after the fact). However, where the controversy comes in is in the caption on the screen quoting the audience as chanting “Ryan!” Why is that controversial? Because people who attended the event say that’s not what happened, and that the MSNBC caption grossly misrepresents what actually occurred.
During Thursday’s edition of TheBlaze TV’s “Pat & Stu,” one caller gives her account of the campaign rally.
“The crowd was yelling,” caller Sherry recounts, “the crowd was screaming ‘Romney! Romney!’ and Romney, being the gentleman [he is], we can’t get in his head because he’s so stinking nice, he stopped us to add ‘Romney-Ryan.’”
“And if you watch the clip again, Ryan throws up his hand like ‘oh, you don’t have to add me to the chant,’” she adds.
And Sherry isn’t the only one who remembers it happening this way.
“I … [was] near the front of the crowd and Paul Ryan had just finished speaking,” Michele Jewett of Carlisle, Ohio, told TheBlaze in an email.
“He introduced Governor Romney and handed the microphone to him. Gov. Romney said, ‘What about that Paul Ryan’ and the crowd immediately started chanting, ‘Romney, Romney’ not ‘Ryan, Ryan’ like the closed captioning on the MSNBC video stated,” she adds.
Indeed, the MSNBC closed captions claims the was crowd chanting “Ryan!” when attendees say they were actually chanting “Romney!” Obviously, this changes a lot about the situation. Instead of awkwardly inserting his name into what sounds like a failed chant, Gov. Romney was actually including his running mate in a crowd chant of his own name.
“Mitt said, ‘Let’s try this, Romney/Ryan, Romney/Ryan, I like that better!’ Jewett’s email continues. “I thought to myself ‘what a humble guy to include Ryan in our chant.’”
In fact, footage from C-SPAN’s archives would seem back up this claim [listen carefully]:
“I even mentioned this to my friends as we left the rally. I could not believe the MSNBC coverage, trying to validate a news article by completely misleading the public about what really happened,” she adds.
Another attendee, Tamra Craycraft of Middletown, Ohio, tells a similar story.
“At one point, the crowd started to enthusiastically chant, ‘Romney, Romney, Romney.’ We were NOT saying, ‘Ryan’ as MSNBC’s video and closed captioning suggests,” Craycraft told TheBlaze in an email.
“Being the humble man that he is, Romney stopped the crowd, then suggested that we add Ryan’s name. The crowd then began chanting, ‘Romney/Ryan,’” Craycraft adds.
One more attendee told TheBlaze the exact same thing.
“There was a lot of energy at the Rally, especially when Paul Ryan was introducing Mitt Romney. The crowd spontaneously began chanting… ‘Romney,’ ‘Romney,’ ‘Romney.’ However, when Governor Romney took the stand he immediately said, ‘Romney/Ryan,’ ‘Romney/Ryan,’ ‘Romney/Ryan!’” Ohioan Sarah Holden also told TheBlaze in an email.
“The crowd quickly joined in on the ‘Romney/Ryan’ chant,” Holden adds.
Perhaps from now on America’s favorite kinda’ Republican Joe Scarborough should apply the same type of scrutiny to clips of Gov. Romney that Andrea Mitchell applies to old audio of President Obama.
Final Thought — If you believe the firsthand accounts, the question then remains: did MSNBC intentionally mislead the audience into thinking the crowd was chanting “Ryan!” in order to make Romney look foolish and further the narrative that his running mate overshadows him, or did they misinterpret it on accident?
If you believe the former, MSNBC’s recent history would help justify that theory. This wouldn’t be the first time someone over there has pulled this type of stunt. Indeed, if there’s one thing the Andrea Mitchell Wawa edit taught us, it’s that MSNBC is not above airing video that helps further the “he’s so rich, he doesn’t get us” narrative. And there’s also all that Trayvon Martin stuff.
UPDATE — We thought it’d be fun to include NBC News’ own words regarding its vetting standards [emphasis added]:
In any instance like this — regardless of the source or topic — NBC News Standards will issue guidance instructing broadcasts to not air content unless or until we can determine that it is authentic, unedited, and not taken out of context.
We also thought it’d be fun to include some firsthand accounts from reporters who were at the event. Via whiotv.com:
@3:36 p.m.: Mitt Romney begins speaking to the crowd. Asks them to chant, “Romney, Ryan; Romney, Ryan; Romney, Ryan …”
@3:35 p.m.: Ryan pauses for a moment while the crowd begins to chant, “Romney, Romney, Romney …”
And here’s how The New York Times reported the event:
After Mr. Ryan whooped up the crowd in Vandalia on Tuesday, Mr. Romney moved to the front of the stage. As the crowd began chanting “Romney! Romney!” he cut them off.“Wait a second,” Mr. Romney said, instructing the audience to cheer for “Romney-Ryan! Romney-Ryan!” They did.
“There we go,” he said, pleased.
Once more, from NBC News:
In any instance like this — regardless of the source or topic — NBC News Standards will issue guidance instructing broadcasts to not air content unless or until we can determine that it is authentic, unedited, and not taken out of context.
UPDATE II — Joe Scarborough on Friday responded to reports that MSNBC’s aired a misleading video:
The fake controversy over the Ryan chants is a joke. Romney said “What a guy!” The crowd chanted “Ryan!” and then Mitt jokes “Romney/Ryan!”
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) September 28, 2012
I won’t even dignify the site that is fanning this false controversy but I will take note of those who link to the lie.
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) September 28, 2012
Expect to hear the tape again on Monday.
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) September 28, 2012
We wait with bated breath.
UPDATE III — When asked about the video, “Morning Joe” spokeswoman Lauren Skowronski emailed BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins the following statement:
This story is an attempt to generate a false controversy. The tape clip was untouched and was played as it was recorded. The panel was responding to Romney’s playful response and having fun with it. Joe and the gang apologize for making people laugh in the morning.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 6:25pmWhen I watched the video, Ryan’s abashed hand gesture confused me because it didn’t fit with the script. Now it makes sense. I am fascinated by the suicidal efforts of the main stream media. Do they not know that people are more connected than ever, do not depend upon them for all their information, and can therefore find out when they are attempting to re-fabricate reality?

I’ve never trusted ANY politician of ANY party, but what came out of candidate Obama’s mouth in ’08 is not what he’s done in the past 3+ years. He MAY have been a wonderful candidate to you back in ’08, but many knew from his senatorial ‘work’ what kind of president he’d be. Sadly, he exceeded our worst nightmares.

There used to be such decency in the public sphere, where one was not subjected to cuss words, curse words, vulgarity, and the complete disrespecting of Our Lord and Saviour. I am outraged that such speech is even allowed on television! It used to be (at the very least) bleeped out. Oh how far this nation has fallen into the muck!!

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 3:25pmI think this stuff has gone on for years and before Internet it was easy to cover up. As a kid I read biographies by pro wrestlers who would claim this was done whenever a news source would interview them to do a story for pushing an agenda. I also have seen it done to coworkers of mine. I work for a state govt. agency and have seen stunts like this done to people I worked with, but not like this. We usually had to deal with scheduled interviewers who would schedule weeks in advance then turn on their cameras and come into our offices with it rolling to make it look like they had showed up unannounced for the interview they set up 3 weeks earlier.

How is it misleading and partisan to point out the fact that MSNBC and Joe Scarborough blatantly misled their viewers? Or are you not commenting on the article but just making a general observation about Blaze viewers? In which case, why are you even here?
But if you can in fact hear chants of both “Romney” and “Ryan”, then pointing out Romney’s refocusing of the crowd to chant in unison is vacuous.. suggesting neither desperation on the part of the candidate, nor disdain for him from his supports.
If anything, this article points out the extent people willing to make a fool of someone else for personal notoriety will go in order to get their fix.
…I hope you’re not one of those.

Rush hadn’t heard it and had it looked up. YES!! It was true. The liberal media doctored the tape so that it seemed like someting else completely.
TYPICAL!! NBC (Nothing But Communism) and its retarded sister MSNBC (More S*** from Nothing But Communism) will do ANYTHING to discredit the Romney – Ryan ticket. Whe I was growing up in thew 50s, NBC was the paragon of truthful reporting. They were fair and balanced. Now, they and the rest of the Mainstream media are so biased and untruthful, it is unbelieveble.

SEPARATENOW
Posted on September 28, 2012 at 2:42pmThe American dream has descended into a nightmare. Americans are divided into two separate camps that cannot agree on anything. The destructive bickering needs to stop, and a way to make it permanently stop needs to be found.
If this country’s citizens were in a marriage, it would have been dissolved about 12 years ago on grounds of irreconcilable differences. Two political ideologies have become a festering cauldron of mistrust and endless accusations of misdeeds. Neither side will accept the other’s version of intent, word or deed. Our society is a living contradiction.
Liberal versus conservative. Collectivism versus individualism. Interpretation versus original intent. Socialism versus capitalism. Internationalism versus nationalism. Right-to-choose versus right-to-life. And on and on.
Face it. It’s over.
This is a plea to find a method to legally separate us and then work out a divorce settlement before these irreconcilable differences explode into civil war.
Don’t think a civil war is possible or likely? Go to any gun and ammunition store. You’ll see both sides there preparing for it.
It is time for both sides to peacefully go our separate ways before it’s too late.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 4:09pmI have pointed out several times that I do often check CNN and BSNBC during the day and even evenings. In the early mornings with my coffee I spot check Morning Joe, when I want a laugh. But, almost every afternoon, 3:00 pm my time, I purposely tune in to the start of Martin Basher’s show. For the last few weeks, he has started every show that I have seen by nothing more than bashing Mitt. Naturally, in that smarmy, self appointed elitist manner of his. Right now, we are 8 minutes into his show, and he is still bashing Mitt along with another willing participant. Sorry, but I don’t recognize most of these the unknowns on BSNBC anyway.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 6:23pmWho cares if he said Romney or Ryan this is just meant to draw attention away from what he did say. And that is President Obama hasn’t raised taxes in the past 4 years . But he will raise taxes in the next 4 years.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 6:45pmOne of the first things Obama got passed as President was a cigarette tax increase. You have to smoke for this tax to affect you, but a lot of poor people smoke. So that was a tax on the poor.

He was a community organizer and he started a worldwide movement to bring social justice, destroy capitalism and has millions willing to die in N Africa, Asia, Latin America, etc. and would take their complaints to the UN. Dying for Allah is their highest HOPE and Malcom wanted CHANGE and that is the dream from his father!!! There’s your HOPE and CHANGE!!!

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 7:27pmObama’s background
Obama spent his formative years in Muslim environments, Kenya and Indonesia. Then he moved to the USA. We still do not know if he is a legitimate citizen, but our country is so morally corrupt, no one cares that will do anything about it. So Obama fits in with a godless society, something that historically has persecuted Jews.
Once Obama was here, his constant companions were atheists, communists, black power radicals, and Muslims. He assumedly got “saved,” and became a “Christian.” However, his “church” is strongly anti-American, and entertains black racism, anti-Semitism and sides with the Palestinians against Israel. It actually follows something called Black Liberation Theology, which contradicts the teachings of Jesus, supports a mindset of a mix of Islam and Communism as the true faith of black people, and distorts the scriptures.
When has Communism, or Islam, ever been fair to Jews?
Obama has never abandoned these associations. They are still current. He sits on an American Arab board which sends American money to Palestinians, not Israel. His Arab friends, like Kahlidi, hate the Jews.
Obama is really an Islamic – pseudo Christian – Communist. Between his foreign supporters and early background, he has never had a relationship that gave him a love or understanding of the Jewish people, and all he knows is what his Muslim friends tell him, which is all bad.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 6:25pmThe media is as guilty of crimes against America as the obamanation, and all should be prosecuted for said crimes. The media has fallen in step with one candidate, which they are not suppose to do. The media did not allow the fraud to be vetted, but have helped cover up for him in every which way necessary in order to avoid the American citizens from knowing the truth. Fortunately, we are hearing everything coming out of the commie mouths are lies, pure lies, said for political gain, and not in the best interest of America. There is blood on their hands all the way to the top for 4 Americans killed in Libya. Treasonous!

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 6:53pmIf there is to be civil war over an election clearly won by Romney, then bring it own. I seriously doubt many of the military would fire on their own brothers and sisters, friend and family. They too took an oath to defend the United States and the Constitution against all comers, foreign or domestic. Unlike our prevaricator in chief, some still take that oath seriously.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 12:20amOverheard some parents (black & very nice people) tonight @ our school’s JV football game during halftime discussing the election & couldn’t believe my ears. Two of them were trying to convince the other 3 or 4 to vote for Romney. They were saying Obama is no good, lies and didn’t deliver. She was telling them, time for someone new, a business man that knows whats going on.
I then heard some others discussing global warming and what a scam the libs are feeding us.
Very encouraging…I believe more people are waking up than the lib lame stream leads everyone to believe.

Posted on September 27, 2012 at 5:52pmThis isn’t unusual for MSLSD…they’re the same network that in desperation to portray the tea parties as racist and dangerous, cropped a photo of a man at a town hall meeting in 2009 who was carrying a firearm (which is legal in his state). The problem for MSLSD was that the man in the photo was actually black…so they cropped the photo to hide his skin colour while preserving the firearm in the shot and proceed to parade around their usual menagerie of lefty dunderheads like Jeanine Garafalo who gave us the idiocy..”racism straight up” from this intentionally manipulated photo. The only thing missing while watching MSLSD is seeing their hosts and guests fling their feces at the camera and beg for bananas from their zookeepers.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 1:35amYou must not live in California then. It seems that I see at least two or three cars during my morning and evening commutes loaded with pro-Obama or pro-liberal stickers. Every once in a while, I do see a pro-Romney sticker, but it’s rare. My car has a “Don’t Tread on Me” sticker on it. I would put a pro-Romney sticker on my car, but I have a strong feeling that sticker would cause my car to be vandalized. The only reason I think the “Don’t Tread on Me” sticker hasn’t been a problem is that most liberals have absolutely no idea what it means.
