They are editing the Virginia Thomas message to make it look better for her.
The text, as originally reported is this:

“Good morning, Anita Hill, it's Ginny Thomas,” said the voice. “I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband. So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. OK, have a good day.”


The edited text is here:

“Good morning, Anita Hill, it's Ginny Thomas,” said the voice. “I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did to my husband. So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. OK, have a good day.”


The word "with" was changed to "to" (both highlighted by me), completely changing the inference.

This is what was read aloud and written on the screen on our local CBS affiliate on their eleven o'clock nooz.

2. Yes, that changes the meaning entirely
I'd demand a retraction. Not that it would ever air.

3. Either way, Hill can tell her to go screw. n/t
I'm sure Hill knows why she did what she did. It's Ginni who needs to figure it out.

7. I hope this is just the beginning for Ginny.
I look forward to seeing much, much more of her.

Thanks to Ginny, an entire new generation now knows her husband is a pig.

5. Ginny Thomas is an idiot. And her gall is appalling.
PRAY about it? Why don't you pray for some brains, Ginny? What an ass.

6. By Friday AM, story will have Ms. Hill calling Mrs. Thomas begging for forgiveness
There will be twice-daily rewrites between now and then.
