Those with stronger stomachs... what's the FOX coverage on Rovegate been?
I know they're covering it because FOX News is on at most of the work lounges at the places I work, and I've actually seen a lot of coverage, covered as a scandal according to the headlines, pics of Rove... But since it's quietly on in the background while I pass by or do some work, I don't know what they're actually saying.

I assume they're trying to deflect it somehow or working in the RNC talking points in their coverage, but I don't know and am curious.

3. Hes a whistle blower
According to Faux, they are painting him as a hero, heck they would probably support his bid for president in 2008 if he wanted to run.

I cant wait to here what they say, if hes indicted.

6. Terry Moran asked Scotty about Fox News

Karl Rove’s Smear Campaign Continues?

In the press conference this afternoon, reporter Terry Moran grilled White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan about recent talking points attacking Joe Wilson which contained information which could only have come from Karl Rove. It was immediately back to the No Comment defense for McClellan.

MORAN: … Fox News and other surrogates are essentially saying that the conversation lasted for two minutes and that the subject was ostensibly welfare reform. They’re getting that information from here, from Karl Rove.

MCCLELLAN: And, again, you’re asking questions that are related to news reports about an ongoing, continuing investigation. And you’ve had my response on that…

It’s a very good question. While the White House locks down and clams up , is Karl Rove once again in the shadows, secretly spreading information (in this case about an “ongoing investigation”) to try to smear Joe Wilson and influence the media?
