Poor Carl was assigned to the Kerry camp. He seems like a straight shooter so I'm betting he didn't volunteer. I notice that some days he has trouble keeping s straight face as he reports so maybe he is getting some yucks out of it.

Carl loves what he is doing and has said so on C-Span a few months ago. I believe he said presidential elections are his favorite type of elections to cover.

Supposedly, this scene (from 2000) appears in "Outfoxed." For some strange reason, the moveon.org folks think it's a negative:

[CARL CAMERON, Fox News Senior Political Correspondent prepares for an interview with candidate and then-Governor GEORGE W. BUSH.]
CAMERON: My wife has been hanging out with your sister.

BUSH: Yeah. Good. [Laughs]

CAMERON: ...been all over the state campaigning, and Pauline has been constantly with her.

BUSH: Yeah, [?] is a good person.

CAMERON: Oh, she's been terrific! To hear Pauline tell it, when she first started campaigning for you, she was a little bit nervous. But...

BUSH: Hitting her stride?

CAMERON: She doesn't need notes, she's going to crowds, and she's got the whole riff down.

BUSH: She's a good soul.

CAMERON: She's having fun, too.

BUSH: She's a really good soul.

NARRATOR: And in any other news organization, in fact in CNN that very summer, there was a producer whose husband was a lawyer for the Gore team. And this was a producer who would have naturally covered Gore, who was immediately told you're not to have anything to do with campaign coverage, either covering Bush or covering Gore because of the possible conflict of interest or the perception of a conflict at interest. At Fox, they didn't care. The fact that the senior political reporter whose wife was actually campaigning for the Bush campaign at a time when this guy's covering them, that didn't even register. It never would have occured.

CAMERON: All right, you guys ready? All right.

BUSH: [Laughing] That's great.

CAMERON: Here we go governor.

[BUSH laughs]

CAMERON: See? Little things that get disclosed.

BUSH: I like that.

CAMERON: [Serious voice] Thank you for joining us, sir.

BUSH: [Serious voice] Yes, sir. Thanks, Carl, it's good to see you.

CAMERON: Just a few days away from the convention, now...

NARRATOR: ...Through the act of having some sort of basic journalistic integrity that is just missing from that organization.
