( OT ) U.S. Rep. Christopher Cox says he was misquoted; Salon'sMichelle Goldberg responds.
http://www.salon.com/opinion/letters...cox/print.html
extract In his letter, Rep. Cox acknowledges that in his speech he said, "We continue to discover biological and chemical weapons and facilities to make them inside Iraq," so it's absurd for him to accuse me of misquoting him. His attempt to defend this remark suggests how unwise it is to rely on Fox News for accurate information about our world. In fact, I find it terrifying that someone with as much power as Cox takes Fox seriously -- it's like the Politburo making policy based on Pravda. |
