Who here thinks Carl Cameron should be fired?

[MikeG]

For his "metrosexual" prank today.

[Mojambo]

1. On any legitimate network he would be n/t

[carpe diem]

19. i don't think....

...we have those in this country anymore...

[zuzu98]

2. already sent an email to Faux News to that effect...

...for all the good it will do. He's probably going to get a promotion. :puke:

[peacetalksforall]

7. Can you post the e-mail address? Thanks.

[HFishbine]

17. Here you go

[e-mail]

[Robbien]

18. Thanks, I sent an email also

If Fox wants to be considered a news site, then they should not allow such blatent bias.

[librechik]

3. I think he should be fired for pretending to be a reporter

and for pretending he has no conflict of interest when his wife is a big-time Bush campaign worker.

The prank was very revealing, though. They should Dan Rather him for offering a forged document.

[Clinton Crusader]

15. This is the schmuck in OUTFOXED right?

sititng have a lovely chat with smirk before an interview, talking about his wife campaigning for smirk??

How do you spell conflict of interest?
:grr:
:kick:

[stewert]

4. Huh ?

I am not so sure he should be fired, but he should be removed from covering the Kerry campaign for sure.

If a Democrat did something about the same we would not want him to be fired for it.

Cameron should be punished, but fired might be a little harsh.

[tomfodw]

5. I've already written him

Urging him to either resign or at least request reassignment.

[Bluzmann57]

6. Absolutely!

They wanted the head of Dan Rather, and this is just as bad, if not worse. At least Rather's docs had basis in fact where Cameron just decided to make stuff up. Fire him now!

[Memekiller]

8. He covers the Kerry campaign...

Kerry should restrict his access; no one would fault him for that.

[George W. Dunce]

10. Douchebag@foxnews eom

[dogtag]

9. They should assign him to cover

Bob Novak's hip replacement surgery. The Douchebag for Liberty needs a sleazy nurse/companion.

[newsguyatl]

11. absolutely he should

there's simply no excuse.

but foxnews has a whole different set of "standards" so nothing's going to happen.

[Mr_Spock]

12. Well, since he is so obsessed with sex, I say we skull-fuck him as punish-

ment. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :)

[juslikagrzly]

13. Me

If they can skewer Dan Rather for attempting to be a responsible and ethical journalist, then fire this guy's ass for being as imbecile and a liar. Mistake my ass!

[snippy]

14. Why would the republican party fire him for that? n/t

[HFishbine]

16. Kerry Campaign Should Ban Him

Kerry should ban him from campaign events. They don't have to make a big ruckus over it, just tell Fox that Carl will no longer be allowed inside campaign venues and that they can send another reporter with some journalistic standards. Then let Fox explain why Carl is doing the weather.

[Lex]

20. Is this the Fox prick in question:

[gardenista]

21. Kerry Campaign should publicly deny him access. Make him the story. nt

[blueblitzkrieg]

22. I just called and left a nasty message on their answering machine.

Here's the phone number: 1-888-369-4762

[Fleshdancer]

23. YES! He's the CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESONDENT for a major news network...

he has no business pulling this crap. And no, "fatigue" is NOT an excuse.

[iwantmycountryback]

24. If he happened to be the nightly news anchor on CBS

Republicans would be chanting off with his head!

[beaconess]

25. Cameron's not the problem.Don't they have any adult supervision at FOX?

Since when does a reporter's prank get into public view? Doesn't FOX have editors? Doesn't anyone approve copy before it goes on air or onto the website? Who controls the editorial content?

For a crowd that trashed Dan Rather for not vetting his story carefully enough, the media is awfully quiet about FOX allowing completely unfiltered information to make it onto their website.

[Fleshdancer]

26. He's not the only problem, but Cameron most certainly IS a prob too

This isn't just some reporter, he's the chief political correspondent for a major news network. That's a big hairy deal. I agree that the lack of adult supervision over there is also a problem. "Fatigue" is not an excuse for this to happen.

[beaconess]

27. You're right

I shouldn't have said that Cameron's not the problem. He certainly is a problem. But if FOX had some checks and balances, it wouldn't matter.

[Shopaholic]

28. Why aren't the other networks piling on Fox for this like they

did Dan Rather and CBS News? They should expose them for the liars that they are. I mean, damn--how much more proof do they need than this????
