CNN horribly rips a quote out of context to sandbag Sarah Palin in an interview.

Update: Allahpundit has the transcript and points out:

The freakiest thing about this? Drew Griffin, the reporter, is the same guy who's been doing good work on Ayers and ACORN. Exit question: Blame the researcher, or was he looking to make amends to the left?

Update: Griffin did say immediately after the clip cuts off, "But they were talking about the fact that your experience as governor is not getting out," which is at least true to York's ultimate point. Still doesn't excuse imputing to him the views he was imputing to the media, though.
