I'm looking across the room right at Thomas Ricks' book
"Fiasco," so I could have warned Fox News what was coming. Not that I
ever would have.
The problem with lying unprofessionalism is that it naturally drifts into sloppiness in every aspect of the operation. Clearly, the
Fox goons did not know whom they were interviewing.

"When you have four people dead for the first time in more than 30 years, how do you call that hype?" Scott said, pushing back against Rice's characterization of the network's coverage.Ricks compared the situation to security contractors who were killed in Iraq. He described the attack in Benghazi as a "small fire-fight" and added, "I think the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox is operating as the wing of Republican Party."

Oopsy. Interview's suddenly over.

The next day, Fox News lied about receiving an "apology" from Ricks. Naturally.
""What's telling is that Ricks' claim about Fox operating as a wing of the Republican Party barely caused a media stir. While the comments have been widely covered, no one in the press is leaping to defend the channel or criticize Ricks. Even conservative bloggers and pundits haven't really bothered to push back on Ricks' central claim that the top-rated cable 'news' channel works in tandem with a political party," observed media analyst Eric Boehlert.".
