Someone at FOX with a grain of integrity?!
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 07:24 PM by Double_Talk_Express
"Fox News correspondent Major Garrett shot back in defense of Barack Obama against the network's morning show's effort to suggest that he has ignored Fox News throughout the campaign. In an internal email obtained by the Huffington Post, Garrett — who has been Fox News' correspondent following the Obama campaign — took issue with a planned "Fox & Friends" segment about whether Obama will try to control the media, using "KICKED REPORTERS OFF PLANE, IGNORE FNC, BIDEN FL AV INTVIEW" as "examples he's already done."

"May I point out Obama has done 5 interviews with me and one with Chris Wallace, one with Brit Hume and one with Bill O'Reilly," Garrett replied-all to a "Fox & Friends" producer's email. "That's 8 interviews. Would I like more? Yes. Would Chris Wallace? Yes. Would Brit and O'Reilly like more? Of course.""

also -- remember when Chris Wallace took Fox & Fiends to task about their "Obama Bashing"??

1. Maybe but
it's more likely that it's someone trying to suck up to the new admin. Or he's been designated as the obligatory "opposing view" so they can remain "Fair and Balanced."

I don't trust them and I never will.

2. Good for him. At least one person there has some integrity.

And even Brit Hume was sorta getting Obama fever when reproting onn the pre-teens jumping for joy in front of The WH in response to the news that O. had won.

"Look at them. Aren't they having fun. Don't you wish you could be there with them."
