Viewer Beware: Debate Rhetoric Just That

By KEN GUGGENHEIM, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Thursday's presidential debate on foreign policy should come with a disclaimer: What you hear from the candidates is not necessarily what you would get in the next four years.

The article then goes on to mention several examples of how George W. Bush said things in the 2000 debates that proved to be absolutely false, and not a single example of a Democrat who said anything in a debate that turned out not to be his post-election policy.

A more accurate lede: "Thursday's presidential debate on foreign policy should come with a disclaimer: What you hear from George W. Bush is not necessarily what you would get in the next four years."

Don't hold your breath waiting for a correction.
