CBS Covers Up McCain’s "Anbar Awakening" Mistake

In an interview with CBS News' Katie Couric tonight, John McCain made the false assertion that the Surge brought about the so-called Anbar Awakening. Except, as MSNBC"s Keith Olbermann points out, the Surge was announced after the Awakening. What's more astonishing is that the surge didnt start until 7 months after "the awakening" started. Olbermann also explains that CBS News edited the gaffe out of the final interviewed that aired Tuesday night. It aired Katie Couric’s question, but in response, it inserted part of McCain’s answer to another question instead.

Watch the video:


That MIGHT be some of the worst journalism ever. You dont ask one question than insert a response to a different answer. It's journalisticly unethical.
