LIFE IMITATES THE SIMPSONS... AGAIN

This time with Fox News playing the role of Rock Bottom, the trashy tabloid show that twisted Homer's words, via editing, to make him appear guilty of sexual assault. (further context here)

The short, short version is that Fox News, in their recap of Clarke's testimony, took elements from one Republican commission member's remarks, and had Clarke responding to them in a way that made him appear to be a partisan shill... when in fact, not only was Clarke responding to a completely different question, but also to a completely different commission member:

"You've got a real credibility problem," John Lehman, former Navy secretary under President Reagan, told Clarke, calling the witness "an active partisan selling a book."

Clarke responded: "I don't think it's a question of morality at all, I think it's a question of politics."

If you want to know what's horribly wrong with their recap, either find it in the transcript if you like, or you can click on either of the links at the beginning of this post.
