Even if this were examined in a vacuum, thats a fairly egregious bit of editing. Just as with American law enforcement agencies, Israels defense forces engage in profiling. Using patterns and prior records of criminal activity (or terrorism in the case of Israel) is how you maximize your chances of success. But when you stick the word racial in front of it you have yourself a liberal talking point which is a sure fire way to gin up the base and get out the vote for Democrats.---------------------More reasons why the MSM is not trusted...

Now add it in with the recent incident where CNN blurred out the logo on a Trump shirt being worn by a subject being interviewed for a story having nothing to do with the election. These arent things that just happen by accident in an operation of that size and reach.----------------------No doubt the is the Clinton Network!!1

There exists a need for real consequences for doing this sort of thing.

Trump should refuse to do any debate that involves CNN unless they publicly apologize at the opening of the debate.

There is no doubt that the media manipulate the news to fit their agenda.
Their agenda: Immediately - Their own power; Long range: Globalism.

They’re probably getting money direct from the Hillary campaign, or from some surrogate like George Soros or one of the other left-wing billionaires.
Their ratings are terrible and they already love Hillary. I bet they’d sell themselves for a surprisingly small amount of money.
They already demonstrated they’d sell their integrity with the Baghdad Bureau scandal, in which they agreed to act as Saddam’s mouthpiece and give him veto power over stories in return for letting them set up a “bureau” in Baghdad.
They didn’t disclose that Saddam had editorial control over what the “bureau” put out to the American public.

These same people want racial differences and identities so profiling can be done. Amazing.
To: mandaladon
All true, but it’s still not LITERALLY putting words in anyone’s mouth, Jazz. Please stop saying “literally” all the time.

If there IS a debate.
Mrs. Bill will come out saying OH NO!! my phewnomeya is acting up again!!!

It’s about time they balanced out. They tried to take words out of Bill Clinton’s mouth for years following the great “I didn’t have sex with............” lie.

LITERALLY lying about what Trump said would be accurate, but they only figuratively put words in his mouth.

In this case, CNN attributed the phrase "racial profiling" to Trump, by using quotes. Now, "words in the mouth" doesn't really have a literal meaning, because literally the only things in our mouths are teeth, tongue, palate, gums, saliva, fillings maybe, dentures maybe, some skin, and air.
All that said, I think that this time, claiming that CNN literally put words in Trump's mouth is not incorrect. They attributed exact words to Trump, that Trump did not say.

All true, but its still not LITERALLY putting words in anyones mouth, Jazz.If t's a direct quote, then yes, that is putting words in person's mouth. Except maybe at DU.
That's what happened when Hillary invented "writing."

The stupid idiot coward RINO dumbasses let “profiling” become a bad word - even criminal.
Profiling is what you do when you don’t have infinite resources.
If someone breaks into your car, you don’t line up all the 70-year-old grandmothers.
You don’t line up children and toddlers.
You don’t line up people that were no where near the scene...
In short, you PROFILE- if you think someone who breaks into a car is a young male...you just PROFILED.
It is efficient use of limited resources, it is COMMON SENSE... not evil intent.

Assuming the facts as reported, Trump would have a good slander case. Ordinarily individuals in the headlines have problems bringing slander suits. But with the facts as stated intent to harm is quite apparent and CNN knew beyond any doubt what they were saying was false.

There exists a need for real consequences for doing this sort of thing.The cosequence needs to be elimination of First Admendment protections for the Press, keeping the protections in place for individuals.
