In report on debate "back-and-forth," CNN's Crowley rearranged Clinton's quotes

http://mediamatters.org/items/200711020001?f=h_top

On the 4 p.m. ET segment of the October 31 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, senior political correspondent Candy Crowley, reporting on the October 30 Democratic presidential debate, purported to show a "back-and-forth on giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, as proposed in New York" by Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D), but aired quotes by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) out of order, falsely suggesting that Clinton had directly contradicted herself.

The following is the transcript from the CNN report. The portion in all capital letters actually came later in the debate than the portion it precedes in CNN's report:

1. The MSM hates Sen. Clinton

She'll have to run against the GOP and the MSM in 08

you could place any Democratic Candidate's name in that sentence and it'd still be true.

3. and you're surprised ... why?

Hillary should respond by re-releasing the footage as Candy aired it, but only put the actual time each quote took place at the bottom of the screen. That way people can get a sense not only of when she said what she said and how Candy edited it for her own agenda, but also how the MSM continually DOES edit and color their political hit pieces to further an agenda that has nothing to do with informing the Public in an unbiased, just-the-facts way.

5. Candy-eater Crowley

has always been a right wing stooge.
But what do you expect from a network that employs Glenn Beck.
