195. Interestingly, CNN deliberately edited the part about deregulation causing the crash.

Mar 2016

In their own clip of the long speech published on their website here ---> http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/21/politics/bill-clinton-hillary-obama-legacy/index.html the clip shows Bill Clinton saying this:

“But if you believe we can all rise together, if you believe we’ve finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the seven years before when we were practicing trickle-down economics and no regulation in Washington, which is what caused the crash, then you should vote for her."

Yet if you drop down in the above-posted article, their transcription of that part of the speech which they have posted on their own website said this:

"If you believe we can rise together, if you believe we've finally come to the point where we can put the awful legacy of the last eight years behind us and the seven years before that where we were practicing trickle-down economics, then you should vote for her," the former president said about his wife.

You will note they purposely omitted the phrase "... and no regulation in Washington, which is what caused the crash, ..." regarding deregulation - which Bill Clinton pushed for during his term and signed into law - from their reporting of the speech.
