SOUND FIXED Live stream & transcript of The Telegraph's Ron Paul Interview 10/28 11am ET

[unknown]

Caught the last 5 minutes.

 

[musicmax]

They waited until the sound was working to get in that PolitiFart slam from their own reporter.

"China is about to arm themselves and invade America"

WHAT?

They fixed the transcript and added in a "not".

"A: This is an economic consequence. ... China is not about to arm themselves and invade America. But they are the economic power."

 

[zHorns]

yeah, something like 2 questions. I wonder if the posted video will have sound, or if Ron will be the ONLY candidate without sound?

It's pretty lame that they invite a Presidential candidate on only to have technical issues the entire time.

They should have this stuff worked out long in advance.

"A: This is an economic consequence. ... China is about to arm themselves and invade America. But they are the economic power. "

Wait, what? Is this a typo?

Must have been a typo. I just looked and it says "China is not about to arm themselves...."

 

[harikaried]

Wow. The audio was on for Ron Paul's response to the PolitiFact question talking about how his franchise taxes have gone up, etc. All the transcript says: "A: My taxes have gone up in Texas. "

 

[walt]

uhm we shoudl call them and ask that they do it over

 

[zHorns]

Wow. The audio was on for Ron Paul's response to the PolitiFact question talking about how his franchise taxes have gone up, etc. All the transcript says: "A: My taxes have gone up in Texas. "

The transcript was lame. It would summarize his answers removing all the arguments.

 

[musicmax]

Must have been a typo. I just looked and it says "China is not about to arm themselves...."

I alerted them to this typo and the one about the overseas militarism costing $4 trillion (originally said billion).

Dear Sir:

I find it unacceptable for an online event for a Presidential candidate to have severe audio problems. This was a complete failure on your team's part and inexcusable as errors like this should not occur in a professionally run news organization. Some of us could not attend in person and rely on a live streaming source to get their news and to evaluate candidates. I hope that the Telegraph will consider placing a working link prominently of the event replay to give others a chance to see what we missed on the live stream and issue an apology to the Ron Paul campaign and those viewers affected.

Guys, let's not be the 'horrid rabid Ron Paul people'. If anyone emails them it might be nice to just say we understand technical difficulties can happen to anyone, but with Pew showing Ron had the least debate time of all candidates when he was polling nationally in 3rd place, and the Minnesota edu study showing Ron Paul had the least mainstream media coverage of all GOP candidates even during the period when he was polling in third place nationally, we are sure they can understand why we are concerned that an important interview has no sound and hope the video on their site will have the full sound. If that is impossible due to technical difficulties, Ron might be willing to do it again.

They updated the page with a working video with audio!
