Presto! CNN Edits Pelosi's Quote To Make Her Say Dem Congress "Hasn't Done Anything"
November 9, 2007 -- 6:59 PM EST // //

I'm not sure anyone could outdo this one in terms of, shall we say, "creative" editing of quotes.

CNN ran a report this afternoon with the headline: "Record Anger At Congress." The network quoted Nancy Pelosi agreeing with this thesis, saying:

"I know that Congress has low approval ratings. I don't approve of Congress because we haven't done anything."

Woah -- Pelosi, the Dem leader of the House, says of the Dem Congress that "we haven't done anything?"

Well...take a look:

As you can see, CNN clipped Pelosi's quote so that she was saying of the Dem Congress: "We haven't done anything." Anything at all. But Pelosi actually said that she was unhappy with Congress because we haven't done anything to end the Iraq War. Her full quote:

"I know that Congress has low approval ratings. I don't approve of Congress because we haven't done anything to end, we haven't been effective in ending the war in Iraq."

But CNN's magic wand turned this into: "We haven't done anything." That's pretty impressive.
