Mainstream media is picking this up now. Let's try to keep the heat on!


WASHINGTON (AFP) - An official at Fox News Channel said that one of its political reporters has been disciplined for posting a fake news item on its website about Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites).


Paul Schur, a spokesman for the network, said Fox's chief political correspondent Carl Cameron had been disciplined for posting an item on FoxNews.com that included several made-up quotes attributed to Kerry.


"Carl has been reprimanded," Schur said Sunday, defining further comment.


The article alleged to cover a post-debate rally by Kerry at which the Massachusetts senator was purported to gush over his "metrosexual" appearance.

Aw, they sent him home to think about what he'd done. Ain't that sweet? For that matter, probably to think about how to spend the nice big bonus some mysterious "benefactor" slid him.
