Yeah. You shouldn't feel horrible about it, it's just one of those things. We have a tendency to trust the media, even though most of us know that we shouldn't really. I think it's just that it gets hits to criticize her (and there are definitely valid reasons to do so), so changing the wording to make the point they want to make is an easy decision for them, since most people aren't likely to pick up on it when it's such a small difference in wording but huge difference in meaning. I only knew it because I had just used it as a quote in a paper on the 2008 election.
