MediaMatters once again pulls through with this great video of Fox News correspondants saying that Saddam’s WMDs may be in Hezbollah’s hands. Now I want to pay special attention to John “we need more babies” Gibson’s statements:
GIBSON: It has been claimed by several individuals that Saddam Hussein smuggled his weapons of mass destruction out to Syria before the U.S. invaded Iraq. Now, one report suggests these WMDs might have been put in the hands of Hezbollah in order to strike Israel.
Who are these individuals? Who wrote the report? The Outfoxed documentary makes a good case about Fox’s tendency to supplant “I believe” with “some say”, and here’s another great instance of it. Gibson’s talking out his ass and hiding behind “some say” to avoid any responsibility.
Now, there is one man who claimed Saddam put his weapons in Syria. His name is Georges Sada, but I already covered the problem with going on his word. Once again Fox is just making things up and pretending to be good journalists.
