Perhaps Mr. Ailes Could Publicly Apologize
But most of all, Obama needs Fox News so he better play ball.
Let me remind everyone, Fox News reported a vicious and obviously false claim and have not issued a correction—they put it out there that Obama denied the report. There has been no apology and the best they can do is this:
So maybe there was no written apology, but at least John Moody, vice president for news at Fox, issued this missive to staff in his daily editorial note on Jan. 23: “For the record: seeing an item on a website does not mean it is right. Nor does it mean it is ready for air on FNC. The urgent queue is our way of communicating information that is air-worthy. Please adhere to this.”
It’s time for a blogger ethics panel. Seriously, the WaPo is saying that at least….
I’ve screwed up on one particular story that was false and particularly damaging had it been true…I apologized and corrected it. Fox News apparently doesn’t have the high standards of even ArchPundit.
As in the post above this, Only Obama can turn the tables on people and look above the garbage.
I know if this happened to Hillary she would be whining up a storm playing the poor victim on every news program.
No. Obama does it with his usual class and style. A little statement last week. No shouting or whining and he just freezes out Fox and they come crying. Heard Ailes was calling the Senator’s office a few times pleading….
Yep, turned the tables and looks like pure class and puts Fox on notice.
