The FOXNews story [1] has been modified and now has the
following at the bottom:
Editor's Note:
In an version of this article that was published
earlier, the Communists for Kerry were portrayed as a
group that was supporting John Kerry for president.
FOXNews.com's reporter asked the group's representative
several times whether the group was legitimate and
supporting the Democratic candidate, and the spokesman
insisted that it was.
I guess the Fox reporter just got a bad break. After all,
being a bit suspicious, she did ask the guy in the bar
*several* times if Communists for Kerry was on the level.
And he *insisted* it was.
To help their fair, balanced but overworked reporters (it's
not easy interviewing people in bars) Fox might hire an
editorial assistant to do fact checking. That nice young
Mr. Google is available. He's a hard worker, knows a lot,
and doesn't waste his time flirting with the interns.
