Katie Couric in a speech before the National Press Club, September 2007 : Couric took Rather to task for his reporting. "There were things in there that were quite egregious in terms of how it was reported," she said. "And sloppy work is sloppy work...They did not dot their I’s and cross their T’s when it came to that story...And our job is to get [it] right." It's hard to figure out whose credibility...

Responding to criticism for their unprofessional and unethical editing of a Katie Couric interview with John McCain, CBS News Senior Vice President Paul Friedman said : The report was edited under extreme time constraints and one piece of tape was put in the wrong order. Fortunately, this did not in any way distort what Senator McCain was saying. Clearly, Mr. Friedman is either stupid or a liar. Roll...

As Barack Obama ends his landmark trip to the Middle East and Europe, he has proven his grasp of the critical issues facing the US and the world. He has also proven that he is ready to fill the role as leader of the free world left vacant for so long by the mismanagement of conservatism and the Republicans under Bush. At the same time, John McCain has proven time and again that he lacks the most rudimentary...

I think I have to reiterate how important this John McCain Iraq timeline incident is. As Steve Benen noted, this is the kind of thing that killed Gerald Ford in 1976. During a debate with Jimmy Carter, he claimed that "there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe," which was an obvious fiction, and the resultant outcry cemented his inevitable defeat. Now McCain says something just as obviously wrong,...

Yesterday, during an interview with Katie Couric, John McCain either told an enormous, obvious lie or he demonstrated that he doesn't understand the timeline of the surge in Iraq, and therefore doesn't understand the impact of the surge. The central issue is the so-called "Sunni Awakening" in Anbar province. This was the decision by many Sunni sheiks to change sides and expel Al Quaeda in Iraq from...

CBS apparently edited a McCain answer about the surge and the blogosphere is going crazy:

So......you do an interview where you falsely state that The Surge Caused the Anbar Awakening (which occured pre-surge) and CBS News says, "Hey, let me help you out there. I will just take that stupid statement out." Wow.
