Here is the statement Burton published that had Kelly throwing a kindergarten-type fit:
“This is a fake news controversy drummed up by the all too common alliance of Fox News, the Drudge Report and John McCain, who apparently decided to close out his campaign with the same false, desperate attacks that have failed for months.
In this seven year old interview, Senator Obama did not say that the
courts should get into the business of redistributing wealth at all. Americans know that the real choice in this election is between four more years of Bush-McCain policies that redistribute billions to billionaires and big corporations and Barack Obama’s plan to help the middle class by giving tax relief to 95% of workers and companies that create new jobs here in America. That’s the change we need, and no amount of eleventh-hour distractions from the McCain campaign will change that.”
Obama-Biden campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
It’s great to see the Democrats and independents beginning to call Fox News channel out on its blatant pro-McCain bias. Many independent-thinking Americans and Democrats in America are repulsed by the prime-time bias that sees hour after hour of Laura Ingraham, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren trashing the Democrats and promoting Republicans. We know that Fox and Friends gets the network off to a fast start in the morning with the freshest Republican talking points. What makes Fox News subpar is the fact that even its news anchors are buying into the Republican talking points and using them as weapons against their Democratic guests.Huffington Post:
