FOX: Land of the Kerry-Bashing Democrats

Reported by Ellen - September 23, 2004 -

Fox News has a talent for finding Democratic spokespeople who criticize John Kerry, his campaign and/or Democrats in general.

Today's article on FOXNews.com, Kerry Camp Shuffle: A-OK or R.I.P.? is another example. The article raises the question that the Kerry campaign may be in trouble. Fox News contributor Susan Estrich adds to the doubts:

Estrich said former members of the Clinton camp (now working for the Kerry campaign), however, may be trampling on Kerry's message.

"Rule No. 1 of the staff people is, don't step on the candidate's message … by the end of last week, what was happening, they were taking so much credit — some of the Clintonistas — to how much help they were giving the campaign," Estrich said.

Estrich said some of her contacts within the Kerry campaign told her that "even Kerry himself was getting a little bit angry by the end of last week saying, 'OK, guys, I'm the candidate here and I don't want these staff changes stepping on the message.'"

Comment: These kinds of remarks from Democrats are common on FOX, whether it's Fox News on TV, radio or the internet.
