Misstep At Fox News

Jim Angle (filling in for Brit Hume today) just did a misleading story about the George Galloway situation. He reported that the Christian Science Monitor was now claiming that the documents they found in Baghdad that supposedly incriminated him were forgeries, which is true. He then went on to say that the Telegraph was sticking by their story. What he failed to point out was that the Telegraph has different documents than the CSM did, and that the same expert who declared the CSM's forged said that the Telegraph's appeared genuine. But from the Fox reportage, one might conclude that this was an argument between the Telegraph and the CSM as to whether or not they were forged.

Unfair, though it's not clear whether or not it's balanced...

Well, it was the Grapevine... They did have a time constraint to deal with, and they might have read the AP article instead of the CSM article just like the folks at TAPPED.

It wouldn't have taken much more time for them to say, "The Telegraph, which has its own set of documents it claims are authentic, sticks by its story."
