CBS made copies of their copies to put on the air and on net, and those copies redacted the address to try to show they respect privacy of whoever lives there now, and underlined things they want to stick in viewers minds.

But the "original" copies that they had were what they faxed to the White House, which put them all on a pdf file and sent it to all the news outlets.

Thus the other news media have copies without DEMCBS talking points superimposed.

Still seems fishy to me. I'd be surprised that even CBS would put their own marks on documents they wanted to broadcast, especially if they had already sent out unmarked copies to the WH or other outlets.

Are you sure USAT had all 6 memos on their pdf files from the beginning of this story? Again, their "text" file only provides text for the four memos used by CBS.

Hate to beat this to death, but it something doesn't smell right about these "new" memos.
