Oh,, and where's the outrage over Carl Cameron?

[Gabi Hayes]

Just making up stuff and attributing it to Kerry?

where's the outcry to fire that weasel?

anybody heard word one on that?

Carl Cameron, a Fox reporter who covers the Kerry campaign, wrote an item that looked like a news story with made-up Kerry quotes, said Paul Schur, a Fox spokesman. The item was not intended to be posted on the site.

"Carl made a stupid mistake which he regrets," Schur said Friday night. "And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humor."

The phony item posted early Friday read in part:

"Rallying supporters in Tampa Friday Kerry played up his performance in Thursday night's debate in which many observers agreed the Massachusetts senator outperformed the president.

"'Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!' Kerry said Friday.

1. Outcry? FIRE SOMEONE? At FOX NEWS?

Clearly you are living in fantasyland. Fox News employees get PROMOTIONS for making shit up, and you couldn't make them fire anyone, they're evil.

5. Love this quote from David Wade..

"Asked about the incident, Kerry spokesman David Wade said: "America would be stronger if only George Bush could admit his mistakes as easily."

8. It's in the blogosphere

http://americablog.blogspot.com/archives/2004_09_26_americablog_archive.html#109674687806875692

I have no clue what could possibly start forcing Pox News to issue retractions on air during prime viewing times (and repeatedly!!!), but it should be done now.

In any case, it's clear the moveon.org suit should be braoadened to strip them of the word "News" as well as their slogan "fair and balanced."

10. i emailed him directly and copied EVERY news outlet

everyone should apply the pressure on this

[Gabi Hayes]

12. seriously....how can he keep his job after that?

either total incompetence for falling for such clearly manufactured propaganda, or complete and utter complicity in Rove's boiler room campaign

btw, WHO is the new Barbara Comstock?

[johnnyrocket]

11. Where's the congressional investigation, Dan Rather was

read the riot act by the GOP congress...Carl is outright LYING with proof.

[Gabi Hayes]

13. Fox Newswatch coming up now....think they'll be covering this?

haaaa

[Shopaholic]

15. I checked Google News on this story

and it's there-but everyone fails to mention that Cameron's wife works for the B/C campaign! It's that damned liberal media again--protecting one another!!! Seriously, I'm so angry over this--I'm surprised Media Matters hasn't sent out an organized campaign drive thing over this. We need to do something.

14. He won't be fired

Faux has no integrity like CBS which shitcanned Rather.
