Obama Confesses Some of His Own Campaign Ads Contain "Mistakes" And Are "Over the Top;" Not Only Does Steve Krofft Ask No Follow Up -- "Which Mistakes? Which Ones Were Over the Top?" -- But Doesn't Even Air the Admission

Steve Krofft sensed Obama was making a problematic utterance that would cause complications for his campaign and for the media Narrative.

So he helpfully guided Obama away from the troublesome answer, and then decided not to air the admission at all.

@benk84 posted this in his headline compilation but I think it deserves its own post.
