White House: We Didn't Censor The French President For Saying 'Islamic Terror,' It Was a Technical Problem

After the Media Research Center caught the censorship, the White House denied any effort to disrupt the audio and claimed a technical error, at the exact moment when Islamic terror was mentioned, as cause for the gap.

The White House told several news outlets on Friday the audio gap was the result of a "technical issue" not an attempt to scrub or censor Hollande’s comments and that an updated video with the complete audio was posted on WhiteHouse.gov soon after the problem was recognized.
