Yesterday, ABC News’ Jake Tapper misrepresented a quote by Bill Clinton to suggest that the former president believes “we have to slow down the economy” to address global warming. In fact, Clinton said just the opposite.

On Fox News today, when asked about the ABC piece, conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer correctly noted that Clinton had been quoted out of context. But while Krauthammer was speaking, Fox ran a chyron falsely claiming that Clinton said we “must slow economy” to “cut greenhouse gas emissions.”

This morning, Rush Limbaugh peddled the false ABC story, insisting that Clinton “suggested we deliberately hamper our economic standing in the world and cripple our economy for the sake of appeasing an unproven,
scientifically flawed theory that has no basis in fact.”

It’s rare that Krauthammer takes the responsible course, but by appearing on Fox News, where the producers have an obvious political agenda, even when Krauthammer was telling viewers the truth, the network was still managing to mislead its audience.

The network was even more ridiculous last night.
