Deceptive Editing: MSNBC is at it again..this time with Paul Ryan

This time via their so-called news anchor Thomas Roberts. Larry O'Connor over at Breitbart.com brought this to light:
...Roberts set his entire segment up under the premise that Republicans had no real substantive opposition to the President's plan; they just opposed it because they hate Obama. His question to his guest, Rep. Henry Cueller (D-TX) was, "Is this strictly because President Obama's name is attached to it?" 
To set up his question, Roberts showed a clip of Rep. Ryan on ABC News' "This Week." The clip was meant to make it look like the Wisconsin congressman was opposed to the bill simply due to the fact that the President is for it, and not on any substantive level. However, take a look at the clip. MSNBC selectively edited Ryan in a very deceitful way...
This is the segment Roberts played. Pay close attention to the Paul Ryan clip:

So Roberts plays the deceptive clip as a premise for a full segment on how Republicans only oppose the President's plan because Obama's name is on it. But Ryan had very specific, policy related reasons why he opposed it.
Here is the Original with Ryan's specific reasons why he opposed the President's plan that was conveniently edited out above. The specific segment starts at the :30 seconds mark:

And MSNBC calls themselves a news source? Does that mean, news that THEY CREATE?
