Sorry if this violates any rule about using actual headlines from stories. Since this isnt the posting of a story, but the posting of a screen shot showing CBS News accusing republicans of "stealing" an election I thought it was the best title I could give it.

OMG. I'm on CBS and I read: "hopes to take" instead of "Hopes to steal". Someone's busy doing some fast editing?

We should call Bernie Goldberg and have him add this to the next release of his book.

The Chyron/character generator operator types it in but the words don't appear on the screen unless the technical director pushes a button. Looks like they were having some liberal fun in the control room and made a little mistake.
