FauxNews edits today's Romney gaffe!

I listened live to the Ryan announcement by Romney and all the comments afterwards on MSNBC and Faux News- he clearly said "next President of the US" and then corrected himself to V-P.

Now Faux is playing the original announcement by Romney with the Vice in there- "next Vice-Pres of the US". So what else do they edit to make Repug mistakes disappear?

1. Have to assume that everything on Faux is edited.

Going by their stated policy everything must be confirmed by a reliable source.

2. So, Fox edits it out.

CNN finds a clip from four years ago that they can say "but, but, but... Obama did it too!!!" and MSNBC is contractually obligated to air anything but live news. Pretty much sums up the state of cable "news" right now.

Actual they ran it both ways. Headline edited. Partially edited (took the delay out before the correction) in the body.
