FOX News' Cameron Doctored a Kerry quotation
FOX Cameron doctored a Kerry quotation
FOX News Channel chief political correspondent Carl Cameron doctored a quotation by Senator John Kerry (D-MA) to cast Kerry as a flip-flopper. On the August 18 edition of Special Report with Brit Hume, Cameron showed a clip of Kerry's recent speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) annual National Convention, in which Kerry criticized President George W. Bush's proposal to pull back 70,000 U.S. troops currently stationed in Europe and Asia. Cameron then contrasted Kerry's criticism with a quotation from an August 1 appearance by Kerry on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos in which, Cameron claimed, Kerry had pledged to "reduce U.S. forces in precisely the way President Bush has proposed."
From the August 18 edition of FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume:
KERRY: [in a video clip] Why are we withdrawing unilaterally 12,000 troops from the Korean peninsula at the very time that we are negotiating with North Korea, a country that really has nuclear weapons? This is clearly the wrong signal to send at the wrong time.
CAMERON: But Kerry himself suggested, less than three weeks ago, that, if he were the president, he would reduce U.S. forces in precisely the way President Bush has proposed. Quote, "I will have significant, enormous reduction in the level of troops. In the Korean Peninsula perhaps, in Europe perhaps."
But the quotation Cameron read was doctored. Cameron read two sentences from Kerry's August 1 interview on This Week as though Kerry had spoken them consecutively, omitting two intervening sentences that would have indicated the context and meaning of Kerry's remark.
