CBS Makes Clinton Quote Less Divisive, Skips 'Right-Wing Machine' Media Research Center Unlike ABC and NBC on Wednesday morning, CBS's Early Show edited a Hillary Clinton quote from the previous night's AFL-CIO debate to portray her as a populist for the little guys and gals, leaving out how her much-played "I'm your girl" line had followed her boast that "I have stood up against the right-wing machine." News reader Joie Chen relayed: "Front-runner Clinton also came up against sharp elbows with rivals accusing her of cozying up to big-money lobbyists. Before thousands of union members, the New York Senator sought to portray herself as champion of the little guy." CBS then ran this Clinton clip: "So if you want a winner who knows how to take them on, I'm your girl." The full quote, however, was much more divisive: "For 15 years I have stood up against the right-wing machine and I've come out stronger. So if you want a winner who knows how to take them on, I'm your girl." [This item is adapted from a posting by Justin McCarthy on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ] mrc.org
