How in the tank for McCain is the traditional media? So in the tank that when McCain gave a flatly incorrect answer to a Katie Couric interview question (stating the Sunni awakening happened after the surge and not prior to the surge) that CBS edited out the inccorect answer!
Accordingly, Keith Olberman covered the CBS/McCain scandal in last night’s broadcast summarized by a kos diarist as follows:
CBS scrubbed a McCain interview.
1. McCain’s response didn’t survive the cutting room floor, but
2. Couric’s question did; and
3. CBS replaced McCain’s incorrect response with one he gave to another question.
If that’s what actually went down, I’m astonished. CBS has a lot of explaining to do.
I really have no idea how wingnuts can continue complain that we have a “liberal” media when we have proof like this, that CBS news accepts cleaning up and cheerleading for Republicans as part of its job.
Maybe it betrays a liberal bias to catch Republicans lying, cheating and screwing up?
