Here's an example of the liberal media's control & editing of the news.

I challenge anyone to find a complete transcript of Andrew Young's remarks days ago re why he does not support Obama this time. The former UN ambassador for Bill Clinton was somewhat vulgar and very revealing about Hillary. The following transcript edited Young's crude remark that a president has to "put up with a lot of s#1t", and instead changed the word to "suffering." He went on to compare the number of Clinton's dates with black women to Obama's--a white person would've been crucified for it. At the end of his statement Young said Hillary was very effective in using her network of friends to quell bimbo eruptions during their yrs in the WH. Reprints eliminate that part of his words:

> -- Former Atlanta Mayor and Ambassador Andrew Young explained why he does not support Sen. Barack Obama to win the Democratic nomination for president - until "2016."

"It is not a matter of being inexperienced," Young told an Atlanta crowd this fall. "It is a matter of being young. There is a certain matter of maturity ... You have to have a protective network around you... Leadership requires suffering. And I would like to see Barack's children get a little older, see, because they're going to pick on them."

He made the remarks after being asked by a crowd member about the Illinois Democrat at a "Newsmakers" event held in Atlanta.

"I want Barack to be president," he responded with a long pause, "....in 2016."

"Barack Obama does not have the support network yet to get to be president...," he said. He reflected on his days serving as one of many lieutenants to Martin Luther King Jr.

He also said that while Obama's rival Sen. Hillary Clinton is surrounded by quite a few black advisors Obama has very few.

He also joked that author Toni Morrison may have been on to something when she referred to former President Bill Clinton as the "first black president."

"Bill is every bit as black as Barack," he said. "He has probably gone out with more black women than Barack."

Young's remarks come as Obama is battling with Hillary for support in the black community.
