CNN anchor Rick Sanchez, possibly not aware that the election is over, paraphrased John McCain in a way that had to be corrected the next day. Why? Well the offensive part of McCain's statement was never said by McCain. It was an addition in Sanchez's "paraphrase". Matthew Balan posts:
During this correction at the end of the 3 pm Eastern hour, Sanchez related his version of what had transpired near the end of Monday’s Newsroom program during a segment with CNN political analyst Roland Martin: “Yesterday, in trying to defend the meaning of Senator John McCain’s statement about the Republican Party being in, what he called, ‘a deep hole’- those were John McCain’s word [sic]- with Hispanics, and needing to recruit more Hispanics, as he’s telling the Republican Party- I paraphrased to my colleague Roland Martin that McCain had said the party needs to recruit ‘competent’ Hispanics. I just want to be fair about this, right? He didn’t use the word ‘competent’ when he said that.”
Maybe "competent" was the missing component when CNN recruited Sanchez.
