I think Fox has been trying a little too hard to be "fair and balanced", they've lost their "edginess" (if that's even a word).
I have always liked Brit because he didn't scream at the person he was interviewing (like Russert and Matthews, and Hannity and O'Reilly), but he asked them hard questions and didn't let them get away with not answering. IMO, he's almost the only one on TV that does that. This morning he seemed a little subdued on the Panel.
Anyhoo, best thing on Fox News this AM was the Mailbag quote from the guy who asked if there was ever another Vietnam vet who obtained 3 Purple Hearts in 4 months and didn't suffer a permanent disability? Good question!!!
Also Mara made a good point about the poll showing people who thought Kerry "exaggerated" and those who thought he "lied". She said the exaggerated figure was as damaging as the lie figure, of course Juan had to bring up the fact that there was a difference between exaggerating and lying, LOL.
I've heard that line before but nobody has ever been able to tell me what the difference is between an exaggeration and a lie. If you exaggerate, you're not telling the story as it actually happened, i.e. you're telling a lie.
Juan is in over his head. You are correct, exaggeration is one species of lie. Denial is another. For the purpose of voter's impression, any difference between "lie" and "exaggeration" plays the same way in the voting booth calculus. SOme people will see the "exaggeration" as a serious character flaw, others will shrug it off.
Well obviously we who see it the way you do lack the precious commodity of nuance, unlike our more enlightened Democrat friends.
