I forget who it was, but they first started to say "priv..., then personal accounts."
Heard this on NPR (sorry, I listen once in a while) last week.

1. It was Carl Cameron

That hack from Fox News who was covering the Kerry campaign.

Remember, the guy who's wife worked for the Bush campaign in 2000, but that little conflict of interest didn't stop Fox from assigning him to interview then-Governor Bush.

Anyway, he's on the White House beat now. Oh, joy.

I caught his little slip up, too.

3. That jerk is a smarmy asswipe.

It is a measure of the journalism community that they do not kick him on sight.

Fox News apologises for Kerry fabrication

Oliver Burkeman in New York
Monday October 4, 2004
The Guardian

Fox News, the influential rightwing US television network, said yesterday it had "reprimanded" its chief politi cal correspondent after its website carried fabricated quotes attributed to John Kerry, in which he called himself a "metrosexual" who enjoys getting manicures.

The network, owned by Rupert Murdoch, apologised for the article in which the Democratic challenger was quoted telling a rally in Florida: "Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!" Comparing himself to the president, Mr Kerry was supposed to have said: "I'm metrosexual - he's a cowboy." Women voters, he purportedly added, "should like me! I do manicures."

The article appeared under the byline of Carl Cameron, who has been following Mr Kerry on the campaign trail. It had been posted on the site, the network said in a statement, because of "fatigue and bad judgment, rather than malice."

"Carl Cameron made a stupid mistake and he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humour and he regrets it," a Fox spokesman, Paul Schur, told the Los Angeles Times, though he would not give details of what action would be taken against Mr Cameron.
