This is one of the greatest recent examples of the left-wing media at work. Listen to CBS’s Harry Smith put an appalling spin on president Bush’s recent public comments.

It was such a gruesome distortion by Smith that even Obama couldn’t let it slide and was forced to defend president Bush.

I have to give credit to president Obama on this one. He showed real class by not letting Harry Smith get away with that.

Had the president not corrected Smith, the vast majority of viewers at home would never have known what Bush actually said and just assumed he had publicly attacked the president.

Most citizens only pay passing attention to the news and current events. So the constant lies and distortions put out by the liberal media in both print and on TV are taken as fact when they’re anything but.
