So who will Fox News fire for peddling the Obama hoax? How about the Washington Times? Who will they fire?Backstory:
Last week, Fox News and other Rupert Murdoch outlets amplified a right-wing report alleging that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) attended an Islamic “madrassa” school as a 6-year-old child. One Fox News caller questioned whether Obama’s schooling means that “maybe he doesn’t consider terrorists the enemy.” Fox anchor Brian Kilmeade responded, “Well, we’ll see about that.”The facts are that the story peddled by Fox and the Washington Times is all bullshit.
Commenting on this report today, Wolf Blitzer said that CNN had done “what any serious news organization is supposed to do in this kind of a situation”: actually investigate and learn the facts.
But Josh is asking a trick question: no one ever gets fired at Fox for this kind of thing. If they did, there'd be no one working there.
