Made Up RNC Message Point Quotes That John Kerry Never Said

FOX Chief Political Correspondent Who Interviewed Bush in 2000 and Bragged that His Wife was Volunteering for George, Now -- in 2004 -- Made Up RNC Message Point Quotes That John Kerry Never Said


http://www.buzzflash.com/buzzscripts/buzz.dll/content

The indefatigable journalist and blogger, Josh Marshall, revealed in a series of postings that FOX News had recently posted an article on its Internet site that contained false quotes attributed to John Kerry .

Now, these weren’t just any made-up quotes; they were fabricated remarks that were completely consistent with RNC message points that try to portray Kerry as effeminate and indecisive (that’s their gender bias, not ours). And they were written, as FOX has admitted to Marshall, by none other than the Chief FOX Political Reporter, Carl Cameron.

Marshall, in astonishment, notes that Britt Hume, Fox's Washington managing editor, told the Pro-Bush Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz: "Our day-in, day-out coverage by Carl Cameron has been extremely fair to Kerry, and the Kerry campaign has recognized this," he says. You see, Cameron is not just the Chief FOX Political Reporter, he is the FOX/GOP hatchet man assigned to slice and dice John Kerry on the campaign trail.

Cameron made up the following quotations that he put in Kerry’s mouth as being uttered at a Tampa rally:

-snipping the 3 quotes -

But for such an amateurish fraud, FOX News’s Carl Cameron just gets a big heap of praise from Bush Dynasty Court Reporter and Loyalist, Britt Hume. FOX now claims it was all just some sort of mix-up that Cameron now "regrets." (As he snickers, snickers, and yowls!)
