"After I told Fox it wasn't true -- and this is the surreal part --
they kept reporting it anyway. In fact, Fox's Garrett told me he'd
"take it under advisement." Take it under advisement? I realize I'm
generally seen as just another liberal with an opinion, but this was
not a matter of opinion, it was a matter of fact. Fox now knew their
story was flatly, factually wrong, and they took it "under advisement."
Apparently that meant repeating the falsehood with added detail: the
"fact" that I had been on a conference call the previous day with the
Hillary high command. Again, false. My worry is that if this is what
one of Fox's best and most respected reporters is doing, what are the
hacks up to?" source
This is what they call journalism at Fox News.
