- This type of corporate propaganda is exactly the type of news we have been exposed to since these radical republicans have taken over our government. They have have no integrity or honor and they have taken this country down with them. I am disappointed that even people like Ms. couric are dragged down. It was so uplifting to finally see some respect this week from other countries ,when Mr Obama spoke I felt hope for us again. I can''t believe Americans might be manipulated by their fear into voting for another Bush. I had some respect for Mccain before I heard him whining all week because Obama got more attention than he did. Republicans are trying to once again make intelligence and wisdom a bad thing,and what scares me is that they may succeed again.

- Mc Cain can''t catch a break? How about having a political gaffe edited out of a TV interview? By "adjusting" facts, CBS has forever put to rest any claims they are unfair to Mr. McCain. Inserting a totally different video clip in its place makes clear intention to cover up McCain''s error.
I was incredulous when I heard that CBS falsified an interview. I went on the CBS News site and read the transcript of the interview while I played the video of the broadcast on a second browser window.
Four sentences had been removed and replaced. The change is technically very well done, but ethically corrupt.
I know many other nations which would love to have such well-crafted revisions of the truth. I am not ready to see this happen here.
Ms. Couric: Say it ain''t so!
References:
The 1st 4 sentences of McCain''s reply to Couric''s 3rd question were replaced. They appear below. The "Anbar Awakening" he credits to the "Surge" began months before the "Surge" was proposed.
Transcript:
"McCain: I don''t know how you respond to something that is such a false depiction of what actually happened. Colonel McFarlane was contacted by one of the major Sunni sheiks. Because of the surge we were able to go out and protect that sheik and others. And it began the Anbar awakening.

- The CBS editing manual says you may not answer one question with a clip from another to give the impression of one continuous response. What is the logic behind the fake video? McCain is establishing himself as another public speaker who has difficulty with spontaneous answers. What''s the big deal? Our President is featured on Letterman every night.

- Like many others I am appalled that one of the leading networks has betrayed the trust of the American people and their basic journalistic responsibilities. This COVER UP (and that is exactly what it is), must be investigated. We want to know who was responsible for editing and changing an answer to make a politician look competent. That person should apologize to the American people.

- I will never watch CBS news again! How can we be expected to trust anything we see on CBS "News" after this "editing"! If Couric knew about this before it aired she should be fired, if she didn''t she should be on the air exposing it and if she was blocked from reporting it by CBS she should resign in protest. Someone should be loosing their job over this and instead CBS is ignoring it!

- Talk about a pot calling the kettle black moment. Obama will say and do anything to become President?!? We all got treated to the most distastefull flip-flop, say-anything-to-get-elected show when we watched McCain change his views on tax cuts for the rich, staying in Iraq forever, and torture when he was trying despirately to tickle Republican ears for the nomination. He''s gone from that to just plane having no idea what''s coming out of his mouth, and if he gets elected President it''s because the MSM brainwashed a majority of the American people with ignorance of him. Bush was such a rude, MSM propagated, swindle on Americans that I hope we can see McCain for the quickly going senile before our eyes idiot that he is.

- WE CANNOT SUCCEEED IN IRAQ UNTIL EVERY SINGLE PERSON THERE IS FORCED TO PRACTICE CHRISTIANITY, WHICH TEACHES THE PRINCIPLES NECESSARY FOR DEMOCRACY TO WORK.
ISLAM IS THEIR PEOPLE''''S #1 ENEMY.

Ironic - Hitler used to same the same type of things about Jewish people.
Why is it that "religious" people are always starting wars and killing people in the name of "religion"?
Seems like more people have been killed for "religion" than all other reasons put together. - Reply to this comment
- Ms.Couric your credibility is shot. I would expect Fox News to selectively edit a candidate''s gaffe but not the CBS Network. You have done what propagandists have done for ages: You have tried to pull the wool over the eyes of your viewing public and to this end you have failed. I will NEVER turn to CBS for news coverage of any sort again. As for you, perhaps there''s a morning fluff show out there for you to apply your perky talents and leave the business of fair news coverage to experienced adults, if there are are any left at CBS.
