6. .

No offense but when you start a new thread to talk about it, especially with that subject line, I believe you should be more specific so that people who read it later and who haven't seen it know what it's about.

[hippiechick]

16. I agree completely

:shrug: The rest of us are competely out of the loop here.

[Hav]

10. .

That's exactly the reason why one shouldn't make new threads like that where one doesn't get specific about what really happened.
Those who didn't see it remain clueless.

I watched most of that interrogation but I missed that very part where Kerrey made the comment in question.

[TheDonkey]

11. hello?? some info???

[jenk]

12. what did he say?????

:bounce:

[wndycty]

13. Let me add my two cents. . .

What did he say?

[redqueen]

14. I didn't see it

but in another thread it says that he said something about Fox being 'occasionally fair and balanced'.

To which there was reportedly much applause and laughter.

[hippiechick]

17. If it's being discussed elsewhere already ...

WTF is the point of starting a non sequitur of a thread like this one ?

:shrug:

:hippie:

[Killarney]

15. transcript??

[DrFunkenstein]

18. Haw Haw Haw!!!

No, really, what was said?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

19. My hazy recollection of a few hours ago.

Kerrey pointed out that this was a 'background' briefing in which the agreement was that Clarke's name would not appear, and that Faux violated that trust, once it was convenient for their political purposes, and that others who brief reporters 'on background' should take heed.

And yes, he said, something like "maybe they should be called 'occasionally fair and balanced' "

20. one moment you want to smack him the next moment you love him

[Feanorcurufinwe]

21. Transcript

KERREY: Well, Mr. Clarke, let me say at the beginning that everything that you've said today and done has not damaged my view of your integrity. It's very much intact as far as I'm concerned. And I hope that your pledge earlier not to be a part of the Kerry administration did not preclude you from coming to New York sometime and teaching at the new schools.

(LAUGHTER)

And let me also say this document of Fox News earlier, this transcript that they had, this is a background briefing. And all of us that have provided background briefings for the press before should beware. I mean, Fox should say occasionally fair and balanced after putting something like this out.

(LAUGHTER)

Because they violated a serious trust.

(APPLAUSE)

All of us that come into this kind of an environment and provide background briefings for the press I think will always have this as a reminder that sometimes it isn't going to happen, that it's background.

Sometimes, if it suits their interest, they're going to go back, pull the tape, convert it into transcript and send it out in the public arena and try to embarrass us or discredit us.

So I object to what they've done, and I think it's an unfortunate thing they did.
