When Governor Palin arrived in Iowa yesterday Ben Smith of Politico tweeted:
On the way to the Palin mob, ran into a furious Fox crew who hadn’t been given a heads up.
Ben also writes:
Palin also gave extended interviews to CNN’s Don Lemon and ABC’s Jake Tapper. Fox had a camera at the event, but none of its on-air correspondents appeared at her hourlong press conference.
Evidently Fox didn’t take it lightly and decided to get even. So they sent out Carl Cameron to lie, spin and make stuff up, twice in 90 seconds:
First he said this.
She’s been saying for month really that she might run if she felt that there was not someone that could carry the type of constitutional message that she thinks is important. But today she said she might be able to support Rick Perry, the Texas Governor, who’s going to get into the race tomorrow, she might be able to support Mitt Romney, the national front runner, or anybody else, she said, on the republican side, because she’s an anybody but Obama candidate. The fact that she’s signaling potential support for others may be yet another sign that she’s backing away from the race.
Nice making stuff up Carl, here is what Palin really said.
Asked by a reporter is she would be enthusiastic about Rick Perry being the nominee she responded.
“If at the end of the line he’s the one left standing I would be extremely enthused about him because I’m a believer in ‘ABO’ – Anybody But Obama.”
What she said is that if ”at the end of the line“, like at the end of the nomination process, whether she’s in or out, Perry is the nominee, or any other candidate for that matter, she would support them because anyone would be better than Obama.
I’ll go out on a limb here, but I think it’s a safe bet that if you ask any of the other candidates if they would support the eventual nominee they’ll all say they would support that candidate no matter who it might be. So how exectly does that suggest that Palin is backing off from running?
Cameron must have missed the various shots Governor Palin took at Perry:
“Carl Cameron is a “girlie man.”
Yeah, could be. I know I’ve had enough of him. Earlier today he referred to Perry as being “all hat and no cattle”. What does he know about Perry - and what does he know about Texas “hats and cattle”? Personally, I would say Cameron is “no hat and no cattle”.....
It seems to be getting worse since Murdoch ran into his problems across the pond and the Libs decided to go after him here. Could be we are in for a little Fair and Unbalanced at least for awhile.
Yes, I saw it. His name is Spencer Tillman.
Very intelligent guy.
But being a black conservative, he'll soon be treated to sickening "Uncle Tom" charges by the putrid Left.
Count on it.
***Since she works for Fox, it would be seen as an ethical lapse if she gave Fox a heads up. She didn’t give anyone a heads up, and Fox News had as good a chance of catching up with her as the rest. If they missed out, or stayed home in a snit, that was their problem.***
Exactly! All they had to do is follow the crowds.
Thanks, I knew I got the name screwed up. Liked liked what he had to say. I would have liked to see some follow up after Sean threw his ring.
Then drop-kicked him into tomorrow.
Lol!
Is Carl GAY? I turn him off and I turn off Wendell Goler also, he lies.
Why does anyone keep asking if she is going to run,She cant until she resigns from FOX.
