Here is an example the MSNBC/Newsweek spin:

"Cheney promptly challenged those figures, saying the Iraqi security forces had taken nearly half of the casualties.

"For you to demean their sacrifice is beyond the pale," he said to Edwards seated a few feet away.

"Oh, I'm not," Edwards protested before the vice president cut him off."


Cut him off???

It wasn't his turn to speak, it was on the VP's time.

He also spoke out of turn when the moderator screwed up and gave him the floor.

The he "forgot" the rules and mentioned John Kerry twice after they were asked to speak about their position without naming their running mates.

No mention of those gaffe's either, just that Mean old Dick Cheney "cut him off".
