See this entry from the blog "What Would Tyler Durden Do?", under "CNN IS A DISGRACE." Basically, they edited out a wrestler saying he 'absolutely (did) not' use steroids, then edited in later footage with substituted voiceover questions to make it sound as if he had.

(UPDATE: here's the unedited version and what CNN aired. Cena was saying his second answer to whether he used steroids - "I can't tell you I haven't, but you'll never be able to prove that I have" - after putting it in the context of pro athletes being presumed guilty of enhancement because they are achieving something exceptional. I think what he was getting at was "people won't believe me if I say I haven't used steroids, but none of my accusers can show any evidence that I did, either." His mistake was assuming they'd leave the context in.)

This is the kind of crap which earned "60 Minutes" its reputation as a program you do not agree to be interviewed for, under any circumstances.
