But if CBS originally received the memos, then sent them to the white house, who then sent them to other media outlets.

Why did CBS release and air memos that had been written on with a pen and marked with a black marker, but give clean versions to the white house? It doesn't make any sense.

CBS airing marked docs implies that's the only version they have. But USA Today has clean versions, plus two additional. It doesn't add up.

I hear what you're saying, but there's no way for me to know. CBS adding underlines to highlight portions of the text, to direct their reader to the part of the story they want them directed towards makes sense. I'm underlined, look at me!!

Blocking out the address... Could be something like broadcasters always using phone numbers starting 555-XXXX. Ya don't want real people, unrelated to a story broadcast to a wide audience, (which includes a percentage of total whacko's) to be messed with. Any paper showing a residental addy might be blocked, per editorial policy of CBS.
