Carl Cameron Made Up The Quotes

by @ 4:19 pm. Filed under General

Carl Cameron, chief political correspondent for FOX News Channel, made up quotes from John Kerry for a story he wrote this morning.

You may remember Carl Cameron from his appearance in Outfoxed:

[CARL CAMERON, Fox News Senior Political Correspondent prepares for an interview with candidate and then-Governor GEORGE W. BUSH.]

CAMERON: My wife has been hanging out with your sister.

BUSH: Yeah. Good. [Laughs]

CAMERON: …been all over the state campaigning, and Pauline has been constantly with her.

BUSH: Yeah, [?] is a good person.

CAMERON: Oh, she’s been terrific! To hear Pauline tell it, when she first started campaigning for you, she was a little bit nervous. But…

BUSH: Hitting her stride?

CAMERON: She doesn’t need notes, she’s going to crowds, and she’s got the whole riff down.

BUSH: She’s a good soul.

CAMERON: She’s having fun, too.

BUSH: She’s a really good soul.

NARRATOR: And in any other news organization, in fact in CNN that very summer, there was a producer whose husband was a lawyer for the Gore team. And this was a producer who would have naturally covered Gore, who was immediately told you’re not to have anything to do with campaign coverage, either covering Bush or covering Gore because of the possible conflict of interest or the perception of a conflict at interest. At Fox, they didn’t care. The fact that the senior political reporter whose wife was actually campaigning for the Bush campaign at a time when this guy’s covering them, that didn’t even register. It never would have occurred.

CAMERON: All right, you guys ready? All right.

BUSH: [Laughing] That’s great.

CAMERON: Here we go governor.

[BUSH laughs]

CAMERON: See? Little things that get disclosed.

BUSH: I like that.

CAMERON: [Serious voice] Thank you for joining us, sir.

BUSH: [Serious voice] Yes, sir. Thanks, Carl, it’s good to see you.

CAMERON: Just a few days away from the convention, now…

NARRATOR: …Through the act of having some sort of basic journalistic integrity that is just missing from that organization.
