FOX NEWS: TED KENNEDY A "HOSTILE ENEMY"

From Crooks and Liars:

Seguing to Kennedy's speech to the National Press Club, Carlson said, "You talk about the hostile enemy, obviously being Iraq, but hostile enemies right here on the home front. Yesterday Senator Ted Kennedy, proposing that any kind of a troop surge should mean that there should be congressional approval of that…."Bartlett responded that the administration considered Kennedy a long-time critic of the war, but not a hostile enemy.

I don't often post on Fox News blather these days because there's just so damned much of it. I mean, obviously, Fox News isn't really a news network in any way that a reasonable person would understand; it's quite clearly a right-wing propaganda organ, and one could, and many have, devoted entire blogs to debunking their bullshit. Of course, every now and then, Fox goes waaay over the top, by even their low standards. This is one of those times: Kennedy, whether you like him and his politics or not, is a sitting US Senator, with a very long and distinguished record. Calling him a "hostile enemy" is so obviously wrong that I imagine he could sue for libel and win if he wanted to. How on earth could anybody buy that "fair and balanced" line these days is beyond me.
