FOX News Channel chief political correspondent Carl Cameron doctored a quotation by Senator John Kerry (D-MA) to cast Kerry as a flip-flopper. On the August 18 edition of Special Report with Brit Hume, Cameron showed a clip of Kerry's recent speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) annual National Convention, in which Kerry criticized President George W. Bush's proposal to pull back 70,000 U.S. troops currently stationed in Europe and Asia. Cameron then contrasted Kerry's criticism with a quotation from an August 1 appearance by Kerry on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos in which, Cameron claimed, Kerry had pledged to "reduce U.S. forces in precisely the way President Bush has proposed."

Why is this crook allowed to cover Kerry's campaign? He is a big Bush supporter, his wife WORKED for Bush last time around, is this not a huge conflict of interest?
