Fox "News" is beyond redemption and has no value to a rational, intelligent person (other than for humor). You really think its necessary to "guard" against the further reputation hits to Fox News ?

I don't watch them but I have to wonder how much is true and how much is bullsmurf based on incidents like this.

Ok, I had O'Reilly on for 5 minutes before having to turn it off. People actually watch that crap??
I'll pick up the highlights of the interview later.

This is ridiculous! FOX has finally sunk to a new low. But for some reason, this is funny!

Well, that was a bunch of over-hyped Poppa Bear hooey. He only showed 7 minutes of the interview and the rest will be on split over several days next week. What a bunch of bull.

Apparently someone at Fox fabricated a story about democrats throwing away thousands of American flags, that was picked up by the MSM, and then later determined to be completely false.

You're right, McCain's people did.

Re: Obama/Biden = Osama Bin Laden?
Fox News' Carl Cameron and Bonney Kapp reported that they had "been told" that "a vendor at Invesco Field found the flags, which were going to be thrown out, and turned them over to the McCain campaign."
Longtime readers of TPM will remember that back in October 2004 this site caught Cameron publishing a series of fabricated quotes attributed to John Kerry on the front page of the Fox News website.
After I placed a series of calls to Fox News inquiring about the Kerry story, the story was eventually pulled, and Fox was forced to issue an apology and retract the fabricated story. Fox spokesman Paul Schur told TPM: "Carl [Cameron] made a stupid mistake which he regrets. And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humor."
Why anybody would believe anything this joker says is difficult to fathom. But he's good enough for McCain.
