Fox News/Major Garrett know Paul Begala better then he knows himself
Here’s example #874,232 of how Fox News sucks at journalism:
-Fox’s Major Garrett reports that Paul Begala, CNN pundit and former President Clinton campaign staffer, is joining Senator Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
-Paul Begala is then flooded with phone calls and emails from various journalists asking him if this is true, notably Fox News never calls to verify.
-Begala denies the report to those who inquire and then writes Major Garrett an email saying the report is false.
-Garrett writes back, thanking Begala, but then later again repeats the rumor on air and adds that Begala was on a Clinton campaign conference call.
-Begala writes back a second time saying the rumors are false and that he was on no such call.
-Garrett writes back saying blah blah blah but this is my favorite bit from Garrett “The sourcing is strong, very strong, or I wouldn’t go with it.”. Haha, see that? Garrett apparently has a better sourcing on Begala’s activities then Begala himself. Oh Fox News, what are we going to do with you?
Holla at me
