Video - CBS edits McCain gaffe from interview, provides fake answer for viewers to cover for McCain

For the critics that claim the media is too critical of McCain, the reality that they are so much a part of the problem of fake news they are really supporting a criminal regime. It has nothing to do with two parties, but keeping an uninformed electorate where both candidates support immunity for lawbreakers.

Here's the edit versus the transcript, a great bit of foreign policy cred to add to McCain's comments about problems on the Iraq-Afghanistan border. That border for those who don't know is separated by Iran!!

This one is hard to even explain, it's so bizarre. McCain, looking just awful on camera, made yet another major gaffe about national security policy, on CBS. So what did Katie Couric do? She aired the interview with McCain, aired the question that led to the gaffe, and then inserted an "answer" to the question that wasn't the real gaffe-filled answer - it was something McCain said in a total other part of the interview. It's absolutely astounding how far the corporate media is willing to go in order to defend John McCain. And seriously, take a good look at McCain in this video, I was kind of shocked by his appearance - he doesn't look well at all.
