McCain - liar or senile? (And we know that Katie Couric is an Idiot).....from the Daily Kos & Keith Olbermann:... (more)
Keith Olbermann reported that CBS edited out McCain's first response to Katie's questioning in which McCain demonstrated his confusion about the origin and impact of the 'Surge'. McCain claimed that the Sunni Awakening occurred as a result of the Surge, even though it began two months before anyone had even mentioned the idea of the Surge. McCain goes so far as to accuse Obama of lying, when in fact he is the one who is either lying or extremely confused. Amazingly CBS edited McCain's gaffe from the video they used on the air! They actually substituted another McCain answer instead of his lie/distortion. This is an egregious violation of every canon of journalistic ethics. Katie and CBS are covering up for McCain's gaffes.
