Somebody at Fox News needs to be exposed and fired

Of course, if a Republican Exposes himself, IOKIYAR.

But not that kind of exposure.

The media was tut-tutting Dan Rather for days on end, but, at most Rather made the mistake of not adequately authenticating documents.

Josh Marshall catches FoxNews in what could only be a deliberate lie about Kerry straight out of the Right-Wing Liars Handbook.

Now, they've quietly tried to just pull the whole thing.

How many right-wing thugs, however, are going to spread that fertilzer of a story for all its worth in the hour or so it was up?

UPDATE:

Josh Marshall further informs us that Fox has now said it was a false story, put up by mistake and was intended as a joke. Not surprisingly it was noted Bush buddy Carl Cameron, who naturally has been assigned to the Kerry campaign [gee that seems about right for Fox doesn't it?].

As Josh notes, FoxNews told him:

“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.”

So the Fox reporter covering the Kerry campaign puts together this Kerry-bashing parody right out of the RNC playbook with phony quotes intended to peg him as girlish fool and somehow it found its way on the Fox website as a news item.
