From Salon's Blog Report. This was good.
An inside look at how Fox News "reports" the "news": Controversial network tells sources it takes facts "under advisement" - This week, Fox News, which rarely breaks stories of its own, seemed to have a juicy campaign scoop — James Carville and Paul Begala, architects of Bill Clinton’s campaign victories, were leaving their jobs at CNN to help turn around Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. We’d heard quite a bit lately about a significant staff shake-up, and this would be quite a development. Except, of course, it wasn’t true at all. Fox News ran the report without even asking Carville and Begala for comment, and both were quick to set the record straight. Following up, Begala had a fascinating take on his efforts to correct the record, and Fox News’ reluctance to embrace the journalistic standards of a junior high-school newspaper.
