CBS News Edits Out Embarrassing Verbal Slip in Bill Clinton Interview

by Alex Griswold | 8:20 am, September 13th, 2016 VIDEO


When airing an interview with former president and would-be First Husband Bill Clinton, CBS News edited out a verbal slip that would have reflected poorly on his wife Hillary Clinton.

Clinton sat down with Charlie Rose Monday afternoon in an interview that aired later that evening. As the Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross noticed, this is what the CBS News’s website reported Clinton said when asked about his wife’s recent health issues.

Asked if there was any chance her faintness on Sunday could be a sign of some more “serious” illness, Clinton said he did not believe that was the case.

“Well if it is, it’s a mystery to me and all of her doctors,” he said, “because frequently—well not frequently, rarely—but on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her when she got severely dehydrated.”

The bolded section is of course a pretty embarrassing slip-up: Clinton was about to say that Hillary “frequently” faints or collapses, before correcting himself to say it rarely happened.

But when the segment aired, the bolded section was edited out, cutting to a reverse shot of Rose nodding to cover up the jump:

“Well if it is, it’s a mystery to me and all of her doctors. Rarely—but on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her when she got severely dehydrated.”

It’s not at all uncommon of course for networks to edit down interviews to fit for broadcast or to clean up an interview subject’s response. But it is interesting that they chose to edit out an error that could have very well been newsworthy by itself.

Watch above, via CBS News.

The man misspoke. Although God-like, President Clinton is human. No big deal.

And so you edit when a person 'misspeaks' out of reality?

This is exactly why more and more folks are aligning themselves with Trump. Folks are pretty fair in this country, they hate to see the liberal media posting only what they think a viewer should see, like they were juveniles and unable to comprehend things

Absolutely. Otherwise, precious video time is wasted correcting the misstatement.

That's why the MSM media is dying.

Bullshit. LOL!

Libtards love editing reality.

Andrea Mitchell doesn't like that part of a video doesn't fit the narrative of a story? Edit it out!

Don't like a reporters question about the Iranian deal? Make it disappear from history!

Don't like that you can't find real persecution of blacks and gays? No problem! Just make up some shit and pretend that it's real!

That's some weird kinda Soviet/Chinese shit.
