Fox's Cavuto Reported That OBL Wore a Kerry Button on Video.
Kerry camp vs. Fox News: Angry over on-air remark, adviser threatens a ban
Posted on Sunday, October 31 @ 10:09:41 EST (910 reads)

By Patrick Healy, Boston Globe

DES MOINES -- John Sasso, a senior adviser to John F. Kerry's presidential campaign, threatened to ban Fox News staff from the candidate's plane Friday night when Fox initially refused to apologize for a talk show host's comment that a new videotape showed Osama bin Laden with a Kerry button.

Kerry advisers quickly backtracked, however, concluding that an escalating conflict with a major cable channel just days before the election would do nothing to help the Democratic nominee. Kerry senior adviser Mike McCurry spoke to Fox executives Friday and yesterday and was told that the Fox News host, Neil Cavuto, may address the remark on Monday's show, officials from Fox and the Kerry campaign said.

6. Fox isn't going to help Kerry anyway.................
they're a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bush* White House. Who gives a rat's ass if they're not on the plane anymore? I would have thrown them off mid-flight with no parachutes. Screw 'em.

8. Exactly...who gives a FUCK what Fox will do if they give them the boot?
It might even draw attention to their fascist underpinnings.

We need to get this shit out in the open.

9. Fox's smart-ass commentary will live on
I'll remember to bring this up frequently when the discussion turns to claims that Fox is any kind of news organization.

It's a perfect anecdote to describe Fox 'News'. Thank you, Neil!
