FOX News was all over – and by all over I mean daily news reports in the summer of 2001 – about a Democratic member of the House of Representative named Gary Condit, more than implying that he probably murdered a young lady named Chandra Levy. (He was later exonerated when another man was found guilty of Levy’s first-degree murder.)
I have little doubt FOX would have kept up these evidence-bereft insinuations were it not for three airliners crashing into the World Trade Center and Pentagon on 9/11/2001, relegating Condit to trivia posts such as this.
In the old days, they called this McCarthyism. I just call it “fair and balanced.”
