OUTfoxed

Josh Marshall has the best reporting on the OUTfoxed scandal so far. For those of you who have stepped away from your computers for a few minutes, foxnews.com briefly ran a story on their website with quotes allegedly by John Kerry that were clearly made up. The quotes included:

"Women should like me! I do manicures"
And: "I'm metrosexual — he's a cowboy."

The story was up briefly and then was apparently taken down without comment. Here's a screenshot (slow loading). So far, no one from Fox News has explained what happened. Josh Marshall is a professional and will wait to judge until all the facts are in.

We're not, and won't.

Fox News has fewer journalistic standards than the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. They are scared animals, backed into a corner after last night's fiasco of a debate. Their eyes are wild, and they're snarling and drooling.

Don't go near Brit Hume if you haven't had your rabies shots.
