What really gave this gossip legs was Carl Cameron on Fox. He could have reported what people were saying, but he had an obligation to name them, and also quiz them directly on camera or microphone. Hemmer said about the fourth time around Fox broadcast this tripe, you can trust Cameron. No you can’t, not on gossip that impacts on a person’s reputation. I’d say the same if it was Obama. Cameron should be fired.
Who didn’t have bloopers on camera? McCain with al-Quada coming from Iran? Biden with FDR watching TV in 1929. Hillary getting shot at in Bosnia. I’m sure there was lots of chatter off camera about these subjects we never heard. What was worse in the campaign that Obama was never pinned to the wall on his relationships with Wright, Ayers, Dohrn, Farrakhan, Khalidi — he just brushed everything aside and everyone gave him a pass.
I was so mad at him! You're exactly right! And O'Reilly said it was their job to report it. I thought that was the most absurd thing for him to say. They had no source!
