Somehow I doubt it. If the story does, my guess is that you won't see his statments about the Iraq war being based on a pack of lies.

1. I just read what News Hounds reported on how Fox covered it
Today (5/17) during the last hour of FNL there was a series of reports, comments & teasers on the Oil-for-Food investigation that illustrated how FNC staff insert opinion into what they pretend are "news" reports. What FNL didn't mention (but which has been reported elsewhere) is that the "documents" the Senate investigation is relying on were previously cited by 2 newspapers who made the same allegations against Galloway, who successfully sued both those newspapers for libel.

11:59am (all times ET) - Asman read the top story, about George Galloway testifying at the Senate Subcommittee, saying in his most aggrieved 'you-ain't-gonna-believe-this' voice that there was a "report THROWN at a Senate panel ...".

12:00pm - Eric Shawn reported on Galloway's testimony, saying that Galloway claims he's "being framed by pro-war" GOPs orchestrated by Bush. Shawn characterized Galloway as a "firebrand British MP." Shawn tried to show a clip, then live footage of the testimony, but there were some technical problems that were quickly cleared up. Shawn described Galloway's testimony as "flamboyant & eloquent answers" & Coleman's questions as "Coleman trying to show ...". Shawn summed it up as a "verbal match of the first order" as "Galloway tries to defend himself."
