i just Googled "misquoted by cnn" and came up with this= it happens. i think you could do a search for "misquoted by (insert name of any news org.)" and come up with enough reading to keep you busy all day. you can call it "lies" or whatever you like but probly most often the reporter is being sloppy, lazy or using 2nd hand info. i think it best to research anything that may be important to you rather than rely on a "talking head" from any of the news programs. i watch MSNBC, CNN , FOX, LINK(not news, but related info) as well as the networks and i take it all in with a grain of salt.
let's start an organization called "Remove the Division", to make the two major parties start working for "US" again, rather keeping "US" at each others throats all the time. i know= not as much fun

I'm sure the news show you watch never exaggerate nor manipulate peoples statements. Thanks for pointing out that Fox is the only one doing so
Well some people (namely Gr8ytHunter) tend to miss things like that. They aint very observant
Not only does the story not explain what misinformation Franken claims but offers nothing in rebuttal...

It only seems that way because your head is stuck in the sand when others do it. Amazing what one notices when they look for these types of things, no?
"It should also be noted that Doocy, while admitting his misstatement on television, has yet to address his equally false statements he made while co-hosting on Brian Kilmeade's Fox News Radio."
I looked, and looked, and looked to even see if the Examiner pointed out that NBC never even admitted on television to having edited audio in the Trayvon case. Couldn't find it, though. Perhaps you can point me to that article.
Instead, they issued a press release to announce their mistake and never even named the producer who was allegedly fired for the 'mistake'.
Typical Lib slant, though. The guy issues an apology on television, then gets called out for it because he didn't issue another apology on radio.

And they fired the producer who did it!

New York --
NBC News has fired a producer for editing a recording of George Zimmerman's call to police the night he shot Trayvon Martin, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday.
The identity of the producer was not disclosed. The dismissal followed an internal investigation that led to NBC apologizing for having aired the misleading audio.
The person with knowledge of the firing spoke on the condition of anonymity. An NBC spokeswoman declined to comment.
NBC's "Today" show first aired the edited version of Zimmerman's call on March 27. The recording that viewers heard was trimmed to suggest that Zimmerman volunteered to police, with no prompting, that Martin was black: "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black."
But the portion of the tape that was deleted had the 911 dispatcher asking Zimmerman if the person who had raised his suspicion was "black, white or Hispanic," to which Zimmerman responded, "He looks black."
Later that night of Feb. 26, the 17-year-old Martin was fatally shot by Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Fla. Though Martin was unarmed, Zimmerman told police he fired in self-defense after Martin attacked him.
Questions subsequently have arisen over whether Zimmerman was racially profiling the teen, a theory the edited version of the tape seemed to support.
On Tuesday, NBC said its investigation turned up "an error made in the production process that we deeply regret." It promised that "necessary steps" would be taken "to prevent this from happening in the future" and apologized to viewers.

TV News Corrects Itself, Just Not on the Air - NYTimes.com
Newspapers run corrections all the time, but a mistake on television news, like NBC’s misleading editing of an audio clip by George Zimmerman, is often followed by silence.

swr, Stank..care to chime in on this one since you're now apparently in the business of pointing out hypocrisy?
------------------------------------------------- TV Corrects Itself, Just Not on the Air
After broadcasting an audio clip on the “Today” show about George Zimmerman last month that hit the trifecta of being misleading, incendiary and dead-bang wrong, NBC News management took serious action: it fired the producer in charge and issued a statement apologizing for making it appear as if Mr. Zimmerman had made overtly racist statements.
The only thing NBC didn’t do was correct the report on the “Today” show.
What is it with television news and corrections? When the rest of the journalism world gets something wrong, they generally correct themselves. But network news acts as if an on-air admission of error might cause a meteor to land on the noggin of one of its precious talking heads. NBC used all of the powers at its disposal to amend the mistake, except the high-visibility airtime where the bad clip ran in the first place...

Stank, are you stoned...or stuck on stoopid?
brdcstr; "Instead, they ***issued a press release to announce their mistake*** and never even named the producer who was allegedly fired for the 'mistake'."
Keep tryin', though. Going to the mat to defend them for setting the standard is getting comical.
What next....trotting out Dan Rather for a lesson on ethics in journalism?

Reading comprehension, anyone?
brdcstr: "I looked, and looked, and looked to even see if the Examiner pointed out that NBC never even admitted **on television** to having edited audio in the Trayvon case."
LOL @ Stank for believing NBC fired the producer...because they said they did.
Care to share with us the name of that producer?
There's a reason they continually refuse to release that persons name when asked.
