If Fox wants to be considered a news site, then they should not allow such blatent bias.

3. I think he should be fired for pretending to be a reporter
and for pretending he has no conflict of interest when his wife is a big-time Bush campaign worker.

The prank was very revealing, though. They should Dan Rather him for offering a forged document.

4. Huh ?

I am not so sure he should be fired, but he should be removed from covering the Kerry campaign for sure.

If a Democrat did something about the same we would not want him to be fired for it.

Cameron should be punished, but fired might be a little harsh.

6. Absolutely!
They wanted the head of Dan Rather, and this is just as bad, if not worse. At least Rather's docs had basis in fact where Cameron just decided to make stuff up. Fire him now!

8. He covers the Kerry campaign...
Kerry should restrict his access; no one would fault him for that.

9. They should assign him to cover
Bob Novak's hip replacement surgery. The Douchebag for Liberty needs a sleazy nurse/companion.

13. Me
If they can skewer Dan Rather for attempting to be a responsible and ethical journalist, then fire this guy's ass for being as imbecile and a liar. Mistake my ass!

16. Kerry Campaign Should Ban Him
Kerry should ban him from campaign events. They don't have to make a big ruckus over it, just tell Fox that Carl will no longer be allowed inside campaign venues and that they can send another reporter with some journalistic standards. Then let Fox explain why Carl is doing the weather.

23. YES! He's the CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESONDENT for a major news network...
he has no business pulling this crap. And no, "fatigue" is NOT an excuse.

25. Cameron's not the problem.Don't they have any adult supervision at FOX?
Since when does a reporter's prank get into public view? Doesn't FOX have editors? Doesn't anyone approve copy before it goes on air or onto the website? Who controls the editorial content?

For a crowd that trashed Dan Rather for not vetting his story carefully enough, the media is awfully quiet about FOX allowing completely unfiltered information to make it onto their website.

26. He's not the only problem, but Cameron most certainly IS a prob too
This isn't just some reporter, he's the chief political correspondent for a major news network. That's a big hairy deal. I agree that the lack of adult supervision over there is also a problem. "Fatigue" is not an excuse for this to happen.

27. You're right
I shouldn't have said that Cameron's not the problem. He certainly is a problem. But if FOX had some checks and balances, it wouldn't matter.

28. Why aren't the other networks piling on Fox for this like they
did Dan Rather and CBS News? They should expose them for the liars that they are. I mean, damn--how much more proof do they need than this????
