SHOCKING NEWS: Fox News Exec Didn't Believe The Schlock He Was Spreading Around

I was simply appalled to learn that Fox News managing editor Bill Sammon admitted that he spread lies about Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential election.

"Speaking in 2009 onboard a pricey Mediterranean cruise sponsored by a right-wing college, Fox Washington managing editor Bill Sammon described his attempts the previous year to link Obama to 'socialism' as 'mischievous speculation.' Sammon, who is also a Fox News vice president, acknowledged that 'privately' he had believed that the socialism allegation was 'rather far-fetched.'"

I guess to some "fair and balanced" means "balancing my private beliefs with crocks of shit I like to fling at the American people."

Isn't that an image?
