Olberman Defends NBC Over Bush Interview...

The White House sent a letter to NBC today calling the airing of Bush's interview with Richard Engel "deceptively edited". So Olberman does what he does best and plays the part they demanded to be aired in full. The extended footage doesn't help the Bush in the least bit. From the interview:

"You said that it was appeasement. Were you referring to Senator Barack Obama?"

The President responded: "You know, my policies haven't changed, but evidently the political calendar has. People need to read the speech. You didn't get it exactly right, either. What I said was is that we need to take the words of people seriously."

I find it interesting that you and NBC both have to edit the comment in order to reinforce your beliefs:

Here is the NBC version: "You know, my policies haven't changed but evidently the political calendar has. And when, you know, a leader of Iran says that they want to destroy Israel, you've got to take those words seriously."

Here is your version (or was it from Olbermann?): "You know, my policies haven't changed, but evidently the political calendar has. People need to read the speech. You didn't get it exactly right, either. What I said was is that we need to take the words of people seriously."

And lastly, is the actual quote: "You know, my policies haven't changed but evidently the political calendar has. People need to read the speech. You didn't get it exactly right, either. What I said was, is that we need to take the words of people seriously and when, you know, a leader of Iran says that they want to destroy Israel, you've got to take those words seriously."

I bolded the part that NBC left out and put italics on the part that you/Keith left out.

Does the bolded parts change the fact that what Bush is saying is retarded?

Oh and Keith played the whole quote from the interview, so your attempts to emphasize certain parts mean nothing. Oh yea, you didn't bother to watch the video attachment to the post, shocking, as facts don't matter to you zombies.
