it's the nature of cable news that we do a lot of clipping and quoting of other broadcasts and outlets, sometimes to make a narrative point, sometimes to make a political one, and sometimes just to make a joke. the cardinal rule of this practice is to make sure when you clip someone else or quote them, you do it in proper context. and we failed to do that in a segment i attributed to bill o'reilly. while it's true, o'reilly literally uttered the words, "it stands for bravery" while talking about the flag, it's quite clear he was not giving his own views, but talking about how some other people view or understand the flag. we should not have attributed that view to him. fair is fair, we got it wrong. i apologize.
