Heads up: Countdown to do story tonight on Fox News & the Cameron Story

[Shopaholic]

also there's this little item from TVNewser.Com. It seems that Fox News has instituited some new rules:

Following Fabricated Quotes, FNC's Moody Announces Scripts Queue Changes: Fox News staffers were informed of several changes today regarding use of the network's internal scripts queue, following the publishing of fabricated quotes written by Carl Cameron and attributed to John Kerry. John Moody, Senior Vice President, News Editorial at Fox News Channel, sent a memo to staffers today:

"Last week, we experienced separate lapses of judgment, resulting in the posting, on our website, of inaccurate material," Moody writes. "Credibility is our lifeblood. When we make factual mistakes, we affect adversely all the hard work that we've done for eight years to become the country's leading news channel." He calls Cameron's quotes a "stupid parody" that was included in the scripts queue, then picked up and added "unthinkingly" to the web site.

"For that reason, we are implementing a number of changes," he continues. "First, and immediately, the scripts queue is OFF LIMITS for editorial use until the item has been broadcast or the script is approved for use. Second, the use of scripts queue for humor, sarcasm, parody or other unprofessional conduct is strictly forbidden. Failure to follow this directive is a dismissable offense."

So why is it only a fireable offense AFTER Cameron's screw-up and AFTER the "Communists for Kerry" story was posted on-line?

1. They've been calling for Rather's head on a pike for inadvertent mistake.

But their guy makes shit up on purpose and then posts a complete hoax story and he's still a hero.

faux is so absurdly propagandistic it's ridiculous.

President Kerry needs to run them out of town when he's the new sheriff.
