Oops? CNN Takes Snarky Shot at John McCain’s Age?

August 31st, 2016 10:34 AM

A CNN.com article reporting on John McCain’s primary challenge included what could be a shot at John McCain’s age — or simply a typo. In a story from Tuesday night, Eric Bradner explained, “And McCain faces a test from Kelli Ward, a conservative 33 years McCain's junior who had suggested his age (he turned 80 on Monday) means he's too old for a sixth term. good.”

Good? The article has since been edited to remove the word and make it past tense (as McCain won his primary). It now simply reads: “And McCain faced a test from Kelli Ward, a conservative 33 years McCain's junior who had suggested his age (he turned 80 on Monday) means he's too old for a sixth term.” 

You be the judge. Here is a screen shot of the original article.
