FOX analyst called Kerry a communist apologist -- and then lied about it


LIAR

In her April 27 column, Chavez referred to Kerry's "role" as that of "an apologist for the communists we were fighting in Vietnam"; later in the column, she wrote, "The young Kerry seems to have fallen in the latter category, communist apologist."

FOX & Friends:

HOST: But isn't it too strong to call him a communist apologist?

CHAVEZ: Well, I didn't call him that actually.

HOST: But others have.

CHAVEZ: Others have.

From the brand new Media Matters - comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.. I think that means keeping track of right wing lies. Founded by the very impressive David Brock.

On the left they report a very long list of lies this past week. On the right is the article selected or main article. They will also carry special reports like this survey on American opinions on media bias (pdf).
