(Fox News) Carl Cameron Confronts Kerry Campaign on Cambodia
Fox News ^ | 9 Aug 2004 | Carl Cameron

Posted on 08/09/2004 3:20:41 PM PDT by mcg1969

Hugh Hewitt just finished playing an entire story from Fox News wherein Carl Cameron confronted the Kerry campaign regarding his Cambodia claims.

Intially, they denied that Kerry had ever said he was in Cambodia. So Carl presented them with the Senate Record and the Boston Globe article where he most unambiguously did so. They said they would have to get back to him on this one, but sticks to their story that he was near Cambodia, but not actually in Cambodia.

THIS STORY HAS LEGS!

"Now, will ABC's NIGHTLINE address Cambodia?"

My guess is Nightline will be devoted entirely to trashing the Swift Boat Vets. IMHO.

When I realized that Carl had the Kerry Koverage this election, I expected FR to start eating him for dinner.

Why not just accept the fact that he is a jounalist (and this question alone, shows his fair and balanced agenda) and this time he got that assignment.

He was sure a hero here during the 2000 election, but then he covered President Bush!

I clicked on the link and found nothing about your thread. Why even have the link?

And they call President Bush stupid? Please!

Per Seinfeld and a bit of paraphrase, 'it takes no more sense not to lie about something that can be proved to be a lie than it does to put your pants on. So, my question to you J F'ing is, who's putting your pants on?

Some are busy bashing W for "betraying our sovereignty" by inviting in 50 or so foreign election observers.

And Cameron failed to mention that Nixon was not POTUS Christmas of 1968(as Kerry claimed). LBJ was my boss and Kerry's in 1968! Duhhhhhh

This is called keeping something in reserve for round 2.

Let the Kerry campaign spin team get up to speed with some bogus BS and then dump Richard Nixon on them. The implications are enourmous.

I think that Bush will win and win big. I also think that there will be a world wide reassessment of the "conventional wisdom" about the Vietnam conflict and the PC treatment of the VC after the war.

both O Reilly and Hannity are supposed to have the Swifty thing as topics/teasers..
Oh and don't forget this article that goes a little deeper than one excusion into LaLa land...

....But for Kerry, who spent six violent months commanding a patrol boat on the Mekong River, there's always been a ring of truth to allegations of abandoned Americans. By Christmas 1968, part of Kerry's patrol extended across the border of South Vietnam into Cambodia.

"We were told, `Just go up there and do your patrol. Everybody was over there (in Cambodia). Nobody thought twice about it," Kerry said. One of the missions, which Kerry, at the time, was ordered not to discuss, involved taking CIA operatives into Cambodia to search for enemy enclaves.

"I can remember wondering, `If you're going to go, what happens to you,"' Kerry said.....

NIGHTLINE will focus on the people who are financing these dastardly accusations (and their politics)... not the facts of the story. You could read that between the lines in the thread posted earlier today.

Don't expect anything but the worst from ABC.

I always liked Carl, he has always struck me as old school reporter. If he can be in on a hot story he will report it, no matter who it is about.

Consider the source . .

QUOTE:

"According to the Kerry for President campaign, News Corp. President and chief operating officer Peter Chernin has endorsed the Democratic presidential candidate. News Corp. owns Fox News Channel."

"That would put Chernin in the ranks of some other Kerry-supporting media executives, including Barry Diller, Kirk Kerkorian (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.) and Harvey and Robert Weinstein, who backed the release of Michael Moore's controversial anti-Bush documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11.

____________

"News Corp. owns Fox News Channel." . . and Bill O'Reilly, and Hannity and Colmes. Is it any wonder direct posting from FoxNews is on the "No-No" list?

That 'splains this . .
