Liberal Media Takes Quote Completely Out of Context to Paint Romney as Out of Touch | NewsBusters.org
But the quote has been taken grossly out of context, and the media reports have selectively edited some significantly positive comments from the very same woman.
ABC reported that Chiarello had told Romney that, "I lost everything". This time however, the account is vastly more detailed and Romney's response is far more helpful than the liberal media would like you to believe.
“He said that he was going to do the best that he could for us.” Chiarello, a Republican who declined to say who she was voting for, said she was pleased Romney visited to be “supportive.”
“He’s good, he’ll do the best for us, he has our best interests at heart,” she said of the candidate, adding that he was different than she’d expected.
“I thought he’d be more like a politician, but it was more understanding and caring,” she said. “He was caring.”
Romney told the women that FEMA could point them in the direction of shelters.
Not exactly a bad guy, eh? What's worse, the original reporting of these quotes from Chiarello by the Huffington Post casts some doubt over their accuracy.
If you take the Huffington Post/AP article at face value, you have the woman saying this complete statement:
"He just told me to, um, there's assistance out there. He said, go home and call 211."
On the other hand, this account from the BBC includes a completely different sentence following the first:
"He just told me to, um, there's assistance out there. He's good. He'll do the best for us, you know. He speaks to our best interests at heart."
How could both news outlets have such differing accounts?
Two possible scenarios.
One - If the BBC failed to report the "go home" statement as the second sentence, then that raises some questions of their own. But it would also mean the Huffington Post article excluded the positive statements immediately following.
Two - If the BBC quote is correct, but the "go home" statement came after the positive comments, then the Post article pulled the positive quotes from the middle of Chiarello's full statement, creating an NBC/Trayvon type of selective editing.

And here's what the White House had to say about Romney's visit...
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, asked earlier what a private citizen like Romney can accomplish on a visit like the one he made today, said that “it’s always important to draw attention to the fact that individuals and families and business owners are profoundly affected by storms like Isaac, and that’s an important thing to do.”
