I see your new here at FR. Fox is the good guys.

Actually, I'm not new here. And I've been watching FOX since the 2000 elections. My favorite shows are "Special Report" with both Brit Hume and the occasional Tony Snow anchoring, "Beltway Boys" "NewsWatch" (I really like Fred Barnes), Cavuto and Greta. I can only take O'Reilly in small portions. I've watched Shepard Smith on numerous occasions and think he's OK (I've never been able to figure out what the "G" stands for in "G Block," however).

I didn't start this thread to nail Fox, you may have another agenda

You started a thread asking if anyone heard what FOX TV reported. Since you didn't provide details and before saying anything about it, I checked with you to see if it wasn't what I had heard (post 2). It was and others have posted that they found it tasteless. Your word was "smeared," mine was not. Like others here, I also found it tasteless and called it a slip-up and a faux pas (not a smear). You asked for input and now you are accusing me of an agenda. I suspect that most of the live anchors today were reading from the same report and I haven't seen anyone else make the same mistake. But then again, maybe they have. I also think wanting to nail the AP writer for Shepard Smith's live delivery on public TV is misguided. Imho.

and I enjoyed your help until it seemed that Fox was your target. I did say in the thread title a smear from AP not fox.

here

Did anyone hear Fox TV report that an AP reporter added a smear in a profile of the crew?

anyways the ap link to nasa is not working so at this point we have a ap report from a nasa link that does not work. Maybe nasa had it at their site but would they? That is the next question.
