Fair & Balanced...And Fake

FOX News reporter Carl Cameron typed up a fake script that wound up on the FOX News website. It included fake quotes attributed to Senator John Kerry such as: "I'm a metrosexual, he's a cowboy," and "Don't my nails and cuticles look great?" FOX News sued Al Franken last year for using their solgan "Fair and Balanced" in the title of a book. No word on wheter Jon Steward and COmedy Central will sue FOX for appropriating the whole schtick of "fake news." (USAToday)
