Title: Top News Executive Admits Lying On-Air
Post by: 240 is Back on March 29, 2011, 05:19:17 PM
In newly uncovered audio, a Fox News executive boasts that he lied repeatedly during the closing days of the 2008 presidential campaign when he speculated on-air "about whether Barack Obama really advocated socialism."

Speaking in 2009 onboard a pricey Mediterranean cruise sponsored by a right-wing college, Fox Washington managing editor Bill Sammon described his attempts the previous year to link Obama to "socialism" as "mischievous speculation." Sammon, who is also a Fox News vice president, acknowledged that "privately" he had believed that the socialism allegation was "rather far-fetched."

"Last year, candidate Barack Obama stood on a sidewalk in Toledo, Ohio, and first let it slip to Joe the Plumber that he wanted to quote, 'spread the wealth around,' " said Sammon. "At that time, I have to admit, that I went on TV on Fox News and publicly engaged in what I guess was some rather mischievous speculation about whether Barack Obama really advocated socialism, a premise that privately I found rather far-fetched."

well seeing as the mods went out of their way to try and avoid that by creating a rule. I say we follow it and cite the nat enq, huffington post, youtube, and msnbc...;)

Couldn't give a fuck, to be honest. But I must say that I'm shocked that both sides appear to be the same. Shocked, I tell you!  ::)
