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.
Memo to Moveon.org:
In an effort to galvanize the message Kerry wants to deliver in the time remaining, he convened a powerful roster of journalists and columnists in the New York City apartment of Al Franken last Thursday. The gathering could not properly be called a meeting or a luncheon. It was a trial. The journalists served as prosecuting attorneys, jury and judge. The crowd I joined in Franken’s living room was comprised of:
Al Franken and his wife Franni;
Rick Hertzberg, senior editor for the New Yorker;
David Remnick, editor for the New Yorker;
Jim Kelly, managing editor for Time Magazine;
Howard Fineman, chief political correspondent for Newsweek;
Jeff Greenfield, senior correspondent and analyst for CNN;
Frank Rich, columnist for the New York Times;
Eric Alterman, author and columnist for MSNBC and the Nation;
Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist/author of ‘Maus’;
Richard Cohen, columnist for the Washington Post;
Fred Kaplan, columnist for Slate;
Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate and author;
Jonathan Alter, senior editor and columnist for Newsweek;
Philip Gourevitch, columnist for the New Yorker;
Calvin Trillin, freelance writer and author;
Edward Jay Epstein, investigative reporter and author;
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who needs no introduction.
We sat in a circle around Kerry and grilled him for two long hours. In an age of retail politicians who avoid substance the way vampires avoid sunlight, in an age when the sitting President flounders like a gaffed fish whenever he must speak to reporters without a script, Kerry’s decision to open himself to the slings and arrows of this group was bold and impressive. He was fresh from two remarkable speeches – one lambasting the PATRIOT Act, another outlining his foreign policy ideals while eviscerating the Bush record – and had his game face on. He needed it, because Eric Alterman lit into him immediately on the all-important issue of his vote for the Iraq War Resolution. The prosecution had begun.

I guess having Rick Kaplan being head of CNN after being in charge of Clinton Gore campaign wouldn't be a problem of conflict of interest- or Stephanopolous be a "jouranlist" or Tim Russert be a Journalist or Chris Matthews be a journalist or Dan Blather contribute to Dem campaigns and consider himself a journalist- all because Carl Cameron is polite he is suspect- THese Dems this year are hell bent on discrediting FOX just like they tried with Limbaugh , American Spectator,etc the Trial lawyers are on the hunt for trouble
