No Compassion From These Conservatives

Taylor Marsh: Fox Expects Edwards 'Sympathy Surge': "...You'd think on a day like today, when John and Elizabeth Edwards come out with such grace and courage, Fox 'News' could manage to be magnanimous. One day, that's all we're asking. But not even a life threatening disease can make Carl Cameron step away from his political pimping for the president and his party. What a tiny, little, itsy bitsy man Cameron is.

As managing editor of Fox 'News,' Brit Hume should haul Cameron into his office and demand him apologize to the Edwards. But we all know he won't. Now we know that Fox is not only a Republican tool, but also is an organization with people in charge who lack compassion, grace, humanity and every other word that connotes the lack of feelings for other human beings who are experiencing yet another crisis in their lives. Cameron is a disgrace. Hume took a moment during the discussion to acknowledge Elizabeth Edwards, but then presided over a 'sympathy surge' discussion, which was truly despicable. Fox 'News' has no shame or heart, but also lacks the humanity required of great news organizations."
