CBS Evening News edited a remark Bill Clinton made in an interview in which he first said his wife has dehydration episodes “frequently,” after which he corrected himself.
Asked by interviewer Charlie Rose if Hillary Clinton’s recent health scare indicated something “more serious” than dehydration, the former president said, “Frequently — well, not frequently — rarely, but on more than one occasion over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her where she got severely dehydrated.”
The portion of his answer where he said “frequently” was edited out of the CBS Evening News broadcast, but the same interview was played the next day on CBS’s “This Morning” and it was left in.
The CBS "Evening News" broadcast that cut out Bill Clinton saying that his wife "frequently" suffers bouts of extreme dehydration was done for timing reasons, a spokesman for the network told the Washington Examiner.
"The clip in question from former President Clinton's interview with Charlie Rose ran in its entirety on CBS 'This Morning,' CBSNews.com and on CBSN, CBS News' 24/7 digital streaming news service," said Richard Huff, the network's communications executive director. "One clip that ran on CBS 'Evening News' was edited purely for time while on deadline for the live broadcast."
