An ABC News affiliate in Denver says that while attempting to report on the resignation of former CIA Director David Petraeus, the station mistakenly aired a photo-shopped version of his mistress' book with the raunchy title "All Up In My Snatch." KMGH-TV producer Deb Stanley told Raw Story that the wrong book cover had been "mistakenly picked up off the Internet" and aired during their 5 p.m. broadcast on Monday. Instead of displaying the actual book cover of Paula Broadwell's Petraeus biography, "All In," KMGH-TV aired the parody cover, "All Up In My Snatch." "That actually happened and it was a mistake," Stanley explained. "And it was not something we created. We don't want that mistake out there." While the KMGH-TV did not post the segment on its website, a viewer captured video of the broadcast and provided it to Americablog.OpedNews volunteer from 2005 to 2013.
