"Just as the White House does not participate in the editorial process at the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal or USA Today, NBC News, as part of a free press in a free society, makes its own editorial decisions."[...]
Here's Olbermann's own take on the complaint that NBC didn't show the full exchange: "Since they asked, we'll play it. Trust me, it makes him look worse." Olbermann's conclusion: "The White House apparently [doesn't realize] that in full it is clear the president never actually answered Richard Engel's first question and clear that the president either does not know what he talked about or what he is now talking about."
But it wasn’t really about the editing, as you can imagine. Go ahead and read the article or watch the video. (What's with Herr Busch's breathing?) I’m reminded of a previous interviewer who got on his bad side).
And, P.S., just in case you were tempted to believe Dana Perino, in the Engel interview, when asked directly Bush certainly doesn't deny the idea that he'll attack Iran before he leaves office.
