Fox Posts Fabricated Story Mocking Kerry

HeadlineOct 04, 2004

Fox News said yesterday it has reprimanded its chief political correspondent, Carl Cameron, after he wrote an article mocking John Kerry that included fabricated quotes attributed to the Democratic presidential nominee. The article appeared on the Fox web site Friday, the day after the first presidential debate. One quote from Kerry read “Didn’t my nails and cuticles look great? What a great debate.” Another fabricated quote had Kerry saying “I’m metrosexual — he’s a cowboy.” The news network blamed the story’s posting on “fatigue and bad judgment, rather than malice.”
