MSNBC cropped Vogue editor quote about Clinton's canceled photo shoot, omitting editor's criticism of the media

SUMMARY: Discussing Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's "letter from the editor," in which she addressed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's cancellation of a scheduled cover shoot, MSNBC gossip columnist Courtney Hazlett selectively quoted from Wintour's letter, omitting a portion directly preceding Wintour's assertion, "This is America, not Saudi Arabia." The omitted portion is directed at the media, not Clinton, and said: "How has our culture come to this? How is it that The Washington Post recoils from the slightest hint of cleavage on a senator?"
