really?
Franken claims Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes co-directed the infamous 1988 "Willie Horton attack" TV ad during the Bush-Quayle presidential campaign (Lies, page 61 (paperback, p. 65)). The truth? Ailes worked for the Bush camp in the election, but he had nothing to do with the ad; and neither did official Bush-Quayle organizers. The notorious piece was produced by an outside third party called the National Security Political Action Committee.1 Even salon.com, surely a Franken-friendly web site, has reported that the ad had "no provable ties to the Bush campaign" and "according to the official books, they had absolutely nothing to do with it."2
(Note to Franken: Maybe a good number of footnotes or endnotes aren’t a bad idea after all. And maybe getting your facts straight is not a bad idea either.)
stumbled across that the other day by accident.
