TPM: FOX's Carl Cameron "put[s] together ... Kerry-bashing parody"

On October 1, blogger and journalist Joshua Micah Marshall noted a story on the Fox News Channel's website (since removed, archive here) that contained several fabricated quotes attributed to Senator John Kerry. Soon after, the story was removed from Fox's website.

Marshall spoke to a Fox News representative about the incident, and he said that "Carl [Cameron] made a stupid mistake which he regrets. And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humor."

—O.W.
