It sounded like, at first, she was pronouncing PentagOn as PentagEen. Could have been the “cold” I suppose.

"Can't I say "dramatic" Pentagon papers? Can't we make it more "dramatic?"Exactly! That was such an illuminating moment that shows the power an anchor has. A single word such as "dramatic" places a complete different emphasis on the story. I'm not even saying it is a wrong characterization - I'm just saying it illustrates the power of a word and the power of the person that has the last say in whether it is inserted/used or not.
