Neil Cavuto insists that his network, Fox News, will give the tea party protests (sponsored by Fox News) the same fair coverage they gave to the Million Man March… except Fox News wasn’t on air when the Million Man March occurred.
Fox News: What Normal People Call “Lying”, We Call “Reporting”.
I’m not sure this was a case of lying, as it was a case of Cavuto not having a clue as to what he’s talking about. I seriously doubt Cavuto would be brazen enough to claim something as true that he must know can easily discovered (by, say, spending literally seconds on an Internet search) to be false.
Back in my younger days I was Chairman of the committee that, among many other things, adjudicated complaints made against student organizations. One fraternity was cited for hazing its pledges and we had a member of that same fraternity on the committee. He swore that he had a great respect for his responsibilities and could remain impartial and did not recuse himself. And, in an overabundance of willingness to actually be impartial, the committee allowed him to stay.
We were stoopid.
Those who are insistent that they can remain impartial when they have a conflict of interest are, at best, deluded and, far more likely, liars who are looking forward to not being impartial at all.
A con lie?
Say it aint so!
No, it’s a lie. He’s not that clueless. He’s been at Fox News since the beginning. He knows.
Oh wait. It looks like the article was updated saying that the error was acknowledged and corrected and making reference to the follow-up marches.
damn.
