Comments on: McCain: "We Will Come Home In Victory"

Exclusive: Ariz. Senator Tells Katie Couric Obama Does Not Understand Challenges The U.S. Faces In Iraq

[inowutudont]

He should have said we''ll be coming home with the blood of a million innocents on our hands

[diggerdive]

This is completely shocking and abhorrent behavior from someone that we are suppose to trust for truth and accuracy. It. It%u2019s positively baffling to me how someone could do this. It feels like someone has stolen something personal and of great value to me. Seriously, Katie, if you haven%u2019t lost sleep over this you need to step down from being the anchor. I hope your parents aren''t watching.

I have always been a fan of Couric from the Today Show years and was glad to see a woman given a chance to be the nightly anchor, but the editing of McCain''s interview to cover-up another one of his historical gaffes is shameful. If Couric is responsible for, or knew of this editing, she should be fired. The only thing worse than a dishonest politician is an unethical journalist.

Could McCain at least WAIT for "the Surge" to END for a FEW MONTHS before crowing about it''s success? McCain was bragging about the victory of the Surge all the way back during the Republican primary. He says it was such a bold and unpopular position, but he''s bragged and blustered about it from the beginning. Actually our payoffs to Iraqi terrorists have probably had the greatest effect on reducing the violence. Take away the cash and then see what the Surge did.

Many things are helping stabilize Iraq, but to what end? The current ***** government of Iraq is the best friend Iran has ever had, and we have guarenteed Moqtada Al-Sadr and will hold the true power in Iraq. If he starts trouble again, all this success of the Surge stuff will evaporate overnight.

Hey Republicans out there,
Please tell me again about the media''s "liberal" bias. If we truly had a fair media Bush would have been impeached 3 years ago and Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Rice would be in the Hague facing war crimes charges.

[lambor59]

CBS news is no news, it''s propaganda from Bush''s crownies, stupid bunch, I do not listen or watch this Fox brother network, they are just as corrupted as Bush regime.

[sheltiman1]

Reading these comments against Katie Couric is reminiscent of one of those nature shows where the wolf pack turns on their old alpha and drive it out to a certain death. That''s the nature of the beast I guess.

[wurgle1]

Newjack86 has a good point. Couric has one chance to show the world she''s different and does stand up for ethics and honesty. Assuming that she didn''t know about the editing out of McCain''s error.
Use your clout and force CBS to apologise. People will respect you more, not less.

[factfinder5]

CBS and Katie Couric owes this nation a big apology for a major violation of journalistic ethics. Altering what a candidate''s actual answer is to an interview question is something I would expect from Fox News, not CBS.

[wmn2wmn]

It won''t surprise me if an America that elected an idiot like Bush wouldn''t elect this fool McCain. The idiotic things Bush says all the time ie double speak, and ignorant forgien as well as domestic policies, are every bit of what we will have to indure if we elect McCain. He''s doing it already PEOPLE!!! GW=McCain all over again.
The world see Obama as a stablizing intity for the world, and we are having to listen to McCain double speak about "Surge". WAKE UP AMERICAN!!!! McCain doesnt know His A** from his elbow, and yet Obama is barely leading in the polls in America. What does that say about America? America needs to stop getting it''s new from biased media coverage, and start educating ourselves from world, and forgien news outlets. Just as Jesus walked the earth and the world calling him traitor, lier, and sinner. McCain''s piggy back on Bush''s policies will surely doom us. HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE BUSH!!! HELLO???

[wurgle1]

Hey, CBS.. When one candidate obviously sucks and the other candidate obviously doesn''t suck, it isn''t your job to cover up for the sucky candidate''s suckyness in the name of "balance".
It certainly isn''t a good idea to violate your own guidelines on editing in order to deceive your viewers.

On the video, CBS edited out McCain''s error and subsituted the answer to a different question! Compare the video and the transcript. Liberal bias?

What''s that sound? I can''t tell if it''s the sound of your ethics being flushed down the toilet, or the sound of all your viewers stampeding to Keith Olbermann''s show.

[word2thewyz]

And Bush decided he would rather start a war than lose an election... even if it was against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

[word2thewyz]

Saying Obama would rather "lose a war than lose an election" is despicable. So much for not questioning his opponent''s patriotism. Would he admit that Bush decided he would rather start a war than lose an election?

[comm-sense]

McBush lied about the Sunni Awakening and you had no journalistic integrity to challenge it.

Where was the mention of paying the "Sons and Daughters of Iraq" $300 US dollars per month per person to not shoot Americans? Let me guess, didn''t know about that part of Iraq War history right? That after all would require RESEARCH !!!!!!

Now McBush says that although the "surge" worked, U.S. troops can''t leave because it may not have "really" worked, and could go back to being bad again. I forget which part of Dante''s Hell does that logic describe.

Oh, and just to be clear, CBS News has NO journalistic integrity. I now have to view all the past stories about Sen Obama and McBush as tabloid journalism; no truth, just fluff.

[donaldebrown]

Not only does CBS have no journalistic ethics, they also do not want to hear from anyone about it. Their "contact us" function doesnt work on the website. More evidence that they have a GOP message to get out and they dont want to hear from their audience about it. Boycott CBS and their advertising sponsors.

[lambor59]

hey Couric, this is CBS, not Russia Pravda, stupid Bush''s crownies.

[donaldebrown]

We should have known day one when Katie did a "news" story about Condi Rice and her lovely piano playing capability. Oh, and the comment about "what a hard job George Bush has." Then there was the common man comments series that started on CBS when she did. They featured Rush Limbaugh, ha, common man. I havent watched her since. Hearing that she and CBS would lie to protect John McCain''s ignorance is not surprising to me.
