Even Fox News Refuses To Run Slime Ad Against Obama
By Eric Kleefeld - August 21, 2008, 7:37PM
How bad does a wingnut ad attacking Obama have to be for Fox News to refuse to run it?

The Associated Press reports that Fox News is declining to run the new ad from the "American Issues Project," a new right-wing swift-boating operation, connecting Obama to former 1960s radical William Ayers.

This may be because the ad accused Ayers of participating in a bombing of the U.S. Capitol, despite there being no evidence he ever did such a thing. So if Fox were to run it, they'd be open to a potential lawsuit for slander.

Looks like even Fox has its limits!

2. problem is, as someone said here, that they'll DISCUSS it to death, and

not even have to pay for it!

watch for CNN and MSNBC do the same thing

swiftboat all over again

hope I'm wrong, but evidence points to that's what they'll do

today does give me hope that the media may actually start doing an approximation of their job, but it's only one day

as Joe Watkins said, "it's a two day story" (the houses)

Obama really needs to see that doesn't happen, and hold off on the VP announcement as long as the house story keeps its legs
