Now wait, Carlson just gave out a number which, as far as I know, is public. I would assume Carlson -- unless he's a complete and utter moron -- has his number unlisted. If Fox News wanted to respond in kind, they should have posted the number to the CNN news bureau or something like that.

Then he should have said so instead of giving out an erroneous number when asked for his home number.

I disagree. This whole thing occured when discussing the Do-Not-Call List. As I understand it, Carlson disagreed with the Do-Not-Call List, and taking the side of the telemarketers said that anyone that wanted to call him at home could do so at such-and-such phone number. It turns out that the phone number he gave out was Fox New's number. Fox just posted a banner that stated that Carlson asked that he be contacted at home, but gave out the wrong number, and supplied the correct number. I see nothing wrong with this.
As far as Fox is concerned, Carlson made a mistake and Fox corrected it. Now if Carlson wants to claim that he intentionally gave out the wrong number, I am sure that Fox could sue Carlson for economic damages.
