Even FNC is Not Immune

Media Blog
Stephen Spruiell Reporting

Just how hard is it to write, as the Washington Times did:
    Just yesterday, Mr. DeLay's attorneys filed a motion to 
    have the case dismissed, arguing that the conspiracy laws 
    he is charged with violating had not yet taken effect in 
    Texas.
News organizations keep referring to the motion to dismiss the original indictment against DeLay as a "technicality." Sure, I guess it's a technicality that he didn't break the law.

MB reader Steve Z. writes that even FNC is not immune:

Someone has to convince Fox News — both the web site and the TV news briefers — that reciting unedited Associated Press copy and unedited Associated Press headlines is a bad idea. They do this almost every day.

Just minutes ago on the news channel, a news reader stated that Tom Delay's lawyers had been seeking to dismiss his first indictment "on technical grounds."

Um, ok.....so, the fact that what Delay was accused of doing was not illegal is a "technicality?"

I have written Fox repeatedly about this, but there is no change in policy. Can you help embarrass Fox into adopting a higher standard?

Just the mention of one or two of these left wing zingers each week in your column will force Fox to improve.

Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of other networks make edits to their AP copy and run the story as "CNN/AP" or something like that. FNC needs to start looking it over more carefully.
