CNN lies about their own debate [View All]

[XemaSab]

Responding to a question from the panel, Clinton's sharpest attack on Obama came when she went after him for borrowing lines from a speech by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, his campaign co-chairman, in his own campaign speeches. The Clinton campaign has called that plagiarism.

"If your campaign is going to be about words, they should be your own words," she said. "Lifting whole passages isn't change you can believe in; it's change you can Xerox." Watch the spat over plagiarism »

Some in the audience booed Clinton for the line.

"This is where we start getting into silly season in politics," Obama replied, saying Patrick is a friend who suggested he use the lines. "People start getting tired of it."

It happened the other way around. Obama made the "silly season" remark BEFORE she made the Xerox comment.

CNN's summary makes him look like he was defensive, but in reality her remark after what he said made her look petty, IMHO. If there's bias in CNN's coverage of the debate, it's pro-Clinton bias.
