Viewers watching CBS News were treated to one of the correspondents reading Obama's speech prior to the inauguration ceremony.
One viewer reports, "It made me so upset that we changed the channel to MSNBC because I wanted to hear Obama reading his own speech, not someone from CBS."
MSNBC said they had speech, but it was embargoed (time-embargoed). It should have stayed embargoed on CBS as well. Holding the speech is routine until after the inauguration and most correspondence certainly honor this.
Seemed like a blatant violation of trust and propriety on what is supposed to be an occasion for history, Americans and their new president.
