Did MSNBC edit transcript of Hardball? (Melanie Morgan)

I could swear that I heard Melanie Morgan say on Monday's Hardball that yes, there was a double standard between NYT printing the story about financial transactions and the fact that Rove and Libby revealed the identity of a covert operative. I remember being so shocked that she would just say it.

But in the transcript, it appears to be cleaned up.

Does anyone have TIVO of that show? Could you check?

in the Admin on the media and liberal lies.

here's the part where she says Rove and Libby "did nothing wrong" and that there's "absolutely no evidence whatsoever" that she was covert (the part that got my blood boiling).

MORGAN: Yes, because of people on the left like yourself—the people on the left like yourself have been creating lies and spreading them repeatedly, that‘s why...

MATTHEWS: ... OK, let‘s try to get back to—lady and gentleman, I have to get back to a question.

SHARPTON: Let me respond. We‘re not talking about left or right here. We don‘t expose CIA operatives, you do.

MATTHEWS: Let me ask you, Melanie—thanks for coming on, by the way, but let me ask you Melanie, do you really mean treason? You mean put them in jail for life? I don‘t know what treason carries as a sanction, but I assume the penalty are incredibly severe, 20 years perhaps. You are saying to put Bill Keller, the editor of “The New York Times” and his associates in prison for 20 years?

MELANIE MORGAN, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: Absolutely. I absolutely am advocating that. What has happened is shameful. If he was ultimately the one responsible for making the decision to publish.

MATTHEWS: What about the N.S.A., would you do the same in the N.S.A.

Case?

MORGAN: Yes, absolutely I would.

MATTHEWS: You would put him in jail for 20 years for that?

MORGAN: Yes I would, yes, because when you break the law, you break the law and the press, the media in this country has got to learn one thing, that they have to operate under the same laws, and the same rules and regulations that all the rest of America faces.

MATTHEWS: We now know on the record, that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby both talked to two reporters and gave away the identity, the undercover identity of a CIA undercover agent. Should they face any criminal time for that?

MORGAN: Chris, I know that you have been fixated on Karl Rove.

MATTHEWS: We‘re talking about 20 year sentences. I‘m just asking should they suffer any penalty their behavior?

MORGAN: I am trying to tell you that they broke no laws when there was absolutely no evidence whatsoever by saying that name out loud, that she was even covert.

SHARPTON: They talked to two reporters. That‘s not treason?

MORGAN: That‘s their job.

SHARPTON: Oh, so they can talk to reporters and confirm or give or in

some way discuss names -

MORGAN: You know ...

SHARPTON: I didn‘t interrupt you. They can discuss with the press what they want that is classified but it‘s treason if Bill Keller or somebody does? This is obviously a different standard.

MORGAN: No it is not. There is a 1917 law that is on the books that deals with media responsibility, in terms of leaking classified secrets.

SHARPTON: What about government responsibility? What about a president in the White House leaking or confirming the name of a CIA operative? There‘s no laws on the books to protect that?

MORGAN: It was a covert CIA operative and there was no evidence that Valerie Plame was ever a covert operative.

MATTHEWS: OK. We‘ll be right back with Melanie Morgan and the Reverend Al Sharpton. You‘re watching HARDBALL on MSNBC.
