Welcome to the post-Thanksgiving edition of Bethea's Byte. I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving with family and friends.

WHAT BUGS ME? The CNN/John Cena Interview
I once had respect for CNN for their unbiased reporting. No matter what it was dealing with, no matter the subject, CNN was fair and balanced. Then there was "Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling." I watched the CNN interview with former WWE Champion John Cena and the question of whether he used steroids was raised. Cena response response on air (edited) compared to the actual interview (unedited) shows that CNN is biased in their investigative reporting. Below are videos posted by a fan with both the unedited version of the entire interview along with the edited version that was played on CNN
Edited version aired on CNN
Unaired, Unedited version
Like FOX News in their political reporting, I feel that CNN is biased in their investigative report. Like this fan, I feel that this is a blatant hatchet job. But I will let you be the judge on that.
