Again, I gotta be contrarian here.

FOX broke journalistic ethics here. If this was an on the air briefing, they are free to re release it. However, it is extremely unethical to take a background interview and release it to damage somebody.

Who is going to talk to FOX now off the record, if they are going to leak it when they think it will make a splash.

Background interviews are akin to speaking off the record. They are not to be released. They could work around it by diggin out Clarke saying something similar to what he told them, but FOX screwed up here.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but FOX will not even get Republicans now to speak on background, if they know FOX will do this when they decide it's newsworthy.

So because it was BACKGROUND information you can LIE about the content? Amazing.

Can't wait for round 2 with Thompson.
