11. The AP story about it was in my local newspaper.

The story claims that on Monday's Martin Bashir show is where the selective editing took place.
My concern is that this was picked up by the AP and now any time any of us on the left try to use MSNBC as a trustworthy source, that gets immediately shot down. We all know Faux does it all the time. I take pride in searching out facts and finding truth. And now MSNBC is seen as just another hack fake news outlet after stunts such as this one. As I said earlier, Lawrence was doing a fine job at damage control by examining the entire exchange and rightfully pointing out the rudeness with which this man got his answer, if you can call it that at all. Again, the whole point of this post is shame on anyone, especially MSNBC, for selective editing.
