Sorry, Selma, that's just dishonest. When reputable news networks screw up, they retract stories and fire those responsible. No one is arguing that other networks are perfect. We're arguing that they handle these situations with far more journalistic integrity than Fox. And that's simply not an opinion.There simply isn't a dime's worth of difference in the two.
CBS fired four producers and forced Dan Rather to retire after this.I'll tell you what.....why don't you get back with me when:
a) Fox News conspires with Republican consultants to try to swing the outcome of an election by....
b) creating forged National Guard documents two months before an election.....and
c) running the story despite repeated warnings about how they're doing it...
The networks immediately retracted these stories and fired everyone involved. That's the proper way to handle these situations.Fox didn't edit the George Zimmerman call, NBC did.
Fox didn't concoct a phony story about the military gassing Vietnam war deserters, CNN did.
Fox didn't overlay Zimmerman's voice with a racist slur he never uttered, CNN did.
Has Fox News fired Hannity yet? Of course not. They just gave him a better timeslot on their primetime evening lineup. That, right there, is the difference between a responsible network and an irresponsible one.
If you watch the clip, she wasn't getting emotional because Hillary lost, but because she was concerned Trump had no plan for troops stationed overseas, many of whom she knows personally from her overseas reporting. Even with your mischaracterization, this is a weak point.And it wasn't a Fox News Presidential debate moderator who sat on TV on election night (supposedly objective) and cried like a baby because Hillary lost.
Looks like this is a 1992 story? You had to dig pretty deep for that one. Since I was 5 at the time, I'll let someone more contemporaneous handle it.Fox didn't rig up a GM explosion for a phony story and pay for it, NBC did.
