Greta on the Palin smears: Carl Cameron told me, “I messed up on this one”

Seven minutes on the difference between news and gossipy “schoolyard trash.” Cameron’s excuse, at least as explained by Greta, is absurd. She makes it sound like all he was trying to say was that there was sniping between the McCain and Palin factions and the Africa/NAFTA detail was merely illustrative. Go watch the clips — both of them, lest you miss his excited “Great doubts!” exclamation to O’Reilly — and judge for yourself how plausible that is. If all he was doing was offering a few examples, how come there wasn’t any dirt flung at McCain? Or is that because Palin’s allies refused to stoop to that?
Note that O’Reilly claims Cameron’s sources were eyewitnesses to everything he reported, not mere conduits. For the record, Steve Schmidt adamantly denies being a leaker. Exit quotation: “You know, I was a critic of her nomination, but everybody is entitled to some basic fairness…” Click the image to listen.

Cameron: OMG I need a job in 2010 when Palin runs. For the love of God, don’t assign me to Nader’s campaign!!

Another development — Frum defends the Cuda.
CanadianGuy on November 10, 2008 at 2:04 PM
Good one, Carl! Where can she get her reputation back? (I say that because, sadly, all the late night shows are running with it, and so many people get their “news” from those shows– they really do.)
Pasalubong on November 10, 2008 at 2:05 PM
Cameron is a weasel and I have no use for him. Not now. Not in 2010 or 2012. Not ever.
Oink on November 10, 2008 at 2:05 PM
Has anyone kept track of FNC’s ratings since just prior to the election? I’m wondering if their audience (made up mostly of genuine conservatives) is starting to go down.
Rush/Hannity/Levin need to make their own network. NOW!
ErinF on November 10, 2008 at 2:05 PM
Cameron is a retard nit wit! I never liked his wimpy ass. Our Country is going down. Hope we have time to stop it.
sheebe on November 10, 2008 at 2:05 PM
I suspect Cameron will be leaving FOX for CNN at some point. His professionalism self-destructed right there on TV for the whole world to see.
BigD on November 10, 2008 at 2:05 PM
It would serve him right. But, having seen him on O’Reilly, I’m thinking his next gig should be on Entertainment Tonight. He seems to have quite an appetite for gossip.
Dee2008 on November 10, 2008 at 2:06 PM
What’s in 2010?
amerpundit on November 10, 2008 at 2:06 PM
Wasn’t Carl mongering rumor during the primaries, as well (ie – inside scoop from Fred’s camp)?
yo on November 10, 2008 at 2:07 PM
Are Cameron and AlanColmes related…. they sure kinda look alike… just sayin….. heh
MNDavenotPC on November 10, 2008 at 2:07 PM
Too little too late Carl. Damage is already done, and it is incalculable.
SAZMD on November 10, 2008 at 2:07 PM
She’s going to have to do a lot of those Sunday morning news shows and answer tough questions. The good news is that she’ll be up to the challenge. I just hope that the toxicity of DC politics doesn’t pollute her.
rbj on November 10, 2008 at 2:08 PM
I wonder if we were to take all the Obama stories the MSM ignored and were to substitute Palin for his name, how long till they spread through the media like wildfire?
jacrews on November 10, 2008 at 2:08 PM
1. AK Governor election
2. Congress elections
Either Dawg’s saying she’ll run for re-election up in the Land of Ice, or shoot for whats-his-face’s Senate seat.

Wow, there sure is a lot of a$$-covering since that 91%-favorable poll came out.

Hope is for the weak. Hope is for dolts who sit around and wait to be rescued. Hope is for people who don’t have the fortitude to get off their bee-hinds and create their own wealth.
Let’s scrap hope and do something to save our country. America doesn’t deserve what’s happening to it.
ErinF on November 10, 2008 at 2:09 PM
O’Reilly is really overdoing his fair n balanced schtick. He doesn’t take a position on anything these days.
lodge on November 10, 2008 at 2:09 PM
Michelle in a bikini, Palin dominatrixing a moose, Janet Reno dressed like a woman, I wonder why they only ‘leaked’ the Palin towel story instead of dropping some photoshop magic?
- The Cat
P.S. They also photoshoped Palin in a bikini pic, so they’re both in good company.
MirCat on November 10, 2008 at 2:09 PM
I do remember that Carl got slaughtered by Ron Paul when he asked him about “electability”
lodge on November 10, 2008 at 2:10 PM
Curious that Shep Smith went ballistic when Ralph Nader referred to Obama as an “uncle Tom,” yet he seemed to be licking his chops for more when Cameron was dropping unfounded Palin rumors like turds.

Capital idea.
MadisonConservative on November 10, 2008 at 2:11 PM
That’s when I assume the election cycle for 2012 will begin.
YellowDawg on November 10, 2008 at 2:11 PM
O’Reilly is an idiot, he is so wrong, and he argues as if he is so right, upping the yelling.
Gossip is exactly what Greta said, gossip may even be true, truth has nothing to do with gossip.
It is passing information on a person (anonymously)usually to harm their reputation…how obvious is this, but O’Reilly has some other definition to fit his stance.
O’R…you are angry because Greta, and not you, got the interview.
right2bright on November 10, 2008 at 2:12 PM
Of conservatives who wrote critical things about Palin, Frum’s pieces were the least idiotic.
frankj on November 10, 2008 at 2:13 PM
I like the way Greta doesn’t let BillO walk on her.
O’reilly is a hack
TheSitRep on November 10, 2008 at 2:14 PM
Yeah, and something tells me he didn’t like it when “anonymous” sources gossiped about his “loofah.” Please, Bill.
He is ticked Greta one-upped him. Hee, hee, hee…
Pasalubong on November 10, 2008 at 2:14 PM
Just great. NPR was pushing the towel story and the Africa story on that quiz show it runs on weekends. These stories are already part of the popular consciousness about Governor Palin. I honestly do not know how she recovers from it.
rockmom on November 10, 2008 at 2:14 PM
“Fair and Balanced” = “Uncommitted and Cowardly”. FOX’s election coverage was useless at best.
rplat on November 10, 2008 at 2:15 PM
BS. Squinty was relishing the gossip session with Shlep like a school girl.

Bill Oreilly is wrong. This is gossip and is nothing like watergate.
Dritanian on November 10, 2008 at 2:15 PM
Oh, please! Cameron is back pedaling from being an a-hole because he is getting flack from it. Not because he realized that what he did was wrong. He only regrets getting called out on it.
Blake on November 10, 2008 at 2:15 PM
By the way, I am now totally in the tank for Greta! She really rose above the rabble in this campaign.

CK MacLeod on November 10, 2008 at 2:16 PM
O’Reilly and Cameron’s excuses are bull. Especially when you consider that Cameron obviously didn’t talk to anyone to check the veracity of what the smearers were saying. Given all the people who have now gone on the record defending Palin it’s obvious that he didn’t check out the stories he reported, he just repeated verbatim (and with rather disgusting glee) what his “sources” told him. Now that they look bad, he and O’Reilly are playing CYA.
meltenn on November 10, 2008 at 2:17 PM
Cameron relished in dirt peddling on Gov. Palin. I’m sure what he wasn’t prepared for was the deluge of hate mail he got.
He would fit well with National Enquirer. Peddling dirt without named sources, loser.
Captain America on November 10, 2008 at 2:17 PM
if these idiots didn’t realize how popular Palin is with Republicans and now covering, they really are out of touch and ‘deaf, dumb and blind’
jp on November 10, 2008 at 2:17 PM
BOR whining about Palin not appearing on his program is hilarious! Why would she appear after you put that dope Cameron on? I know he claimed he had to, but he’s a liar. He also said he would fly Palin in. Why would Palin want to get on another plane to fly to the east coast? Blech.
Blake on November 10, 2008 at 2:17 PM

Captain America on November 10, 2008 at 2:18 PM
Still doesn’t excuse McCain for not coming to Palin’s defense when his thugs started this crap.
highhopes on November 10, 2008 at 2:20 PM
Fox News, in general, has changed since the election. I truly believe that a lot of conservatives, like myself, are not watching them because they seem to be getting caught up in Obamamania.
At the same time, they seem to be siding with the Beltway Elite.
Shep needs to take a look at himself. He is just a frat boy from Ole Miss who has done well for himself. He needs to remember his roots.
kingsjester on November 10, 2008 at 2:21 PM
Couple of things here …
1.) O’Reilly must be steamed that Greta landed the interview with Palin. Palin called O’Reilly a couple of weeks ago off the air and told him that she wanted to be on his show, but McCain’s people nixed. Then O’Reilly allows Carl Cameron to trash her on his show and O’Reilly essentially blackmails Palin telling her she’s welcome to be on his show for a half hour on Monday. Coincidentally she will be on Greta’s show for a full hour tonight. O’Reilly fancies himself the top dog at Fox.
2.) Greta has just done something totally not cool in journalism. She just revealed a private conversation with Carl on the air. If Carl Cameron thought his report was wrong he should have went on the air to apologize. Greta has now put him in quite a spot — a spot which I’m glad to see him in.
3.) I know it’s obvious, but O’Reilly really needs to shut up after he asks a question and allow the person to answer it for more than 2 seconds without interuption.
CanadianGuy on November 10, 2008 at 2:21 PM
I think once Brit is gone from Fox News, I’ll stop watching news altogether.
Is he gone yet?
Darksean on November 10, 2008 at 2:21 PM
I used to appreciate how BOR took on the left, but I stopped tuning in because of stuff like this (his ego). He genuinely thinks everybody– not just major political candidates– “owes” him an interview. I hope Sarah gives him and Oprah the proverbial middle finger.
Pasalubong on November 10, 2008 at 2:21 PM
I 2nd and 3rd this; and have wondered for a week when we were going to get around to asking CARL why he was so gleefully (big smile and practically giggling) reporting on this GOSSIP. He lost all credibility with me, and I assume, much of the FOX NEWS audience. After all one thing he said “I wish I could have reported this when it happened.” Carl you are no more than a TURD that should be working over at MSNBC. As you noticed, Major Garrett did not report on the internal gossip from the Obama campaign.
Cameron should be fired.
mngirl on November 10, 2008 at 2:21 PM
I loved Greta telling O’Reilly SHE wouldn’t report anonymous gossip even if he would. And him comparing it to Watergate. sheesh – the great towel escapade. It was salacious rumor mongering. I vaguely recall O’Reilly refusing to talk about unsourced rumors about Obama – guess the ones about Palin were just too juicy to pass up.
katiejane on November 10, 2008 at 2:21 PM
rockmom on November 10, 2008 at 2:14 PM
Time and sustained performance. Reagan was a doddering fool to anywhere from 30 – 50% of the population through his two terms. The kind of people who listen to public radio had “Dump Reagan” bumper stickers in 1984, were kind of sure he intended to blow up the world in order to bring about the Apocalypse, and shivered when they heard Nuclear Freeze activist Helen Caldicott describe him as barely able to put a coherent sentence together. Remember that famous skit with Phil Hartman as Reagan – jibbering like a sentimental fool, then turning into a multilingual mastermind? Nowadays, it looks like joking on the square. At the time, it was funny because the SNL audience mostly believed the sentimental fool part.
CK MacLeod on November 10, 2008 at 2:21 PM
Strange that Bill ORLY? calls himself a journalist and doesn’t know what a primary source is. Sarah Palin is a primary source. A campaign advisor going on anonymity and quoting her is a secondary source, not to mention a coward engaging in gossip. Once this gossip is reported, it is not up to Sarah Palin to appear on his lame show to clear her name. She has spoken to the press. ORLY? should quit whining about how he gave her a chance to set the record straight.
chunderroad on November 10, 2008 at 2:22 PM
O’Reilly came off looking/sounding like a fool
KBird on November 10, 2008 at 2:23 PM
You can hear it in his voice. That wasn’t any “illustrative” details. That was Cameron more than willing to trash Palin. It’s a shame really because, up until this election, he has been relatively fair in covering political candidates. This time in the tank for Obama as deep as Wise_men was in the tank for McCain.
highhopes on November 10, 2008 at 2:23 PM
And this would be something new or different how????
highhopes on November 10, 2008 at 2:24 PM
You mean such as when he condescendingly sneered that Palin was incapable of uttering three consecutive coherent words on complex topics?
Sorry, have to disagree with you there. He’s just another one covering his a$$ now that he’s seen that she has a 91% favorable rating.
I’ll still listen to those that managed to criticize her without using phrases like “a cancer”, “vulgarization of American politics”, “cannot speak three consecutive coherent words [on a complex topic]“, “an affliction” etc. The rest of them can go f*#@ themselves.
thirteen28 on November 10, 2008 at 2:24 PM
Why such a back pedaling from the media? Why back pedaling from the McCain insiders who tried to run Palin out on a rail?
How quick the tune has changed since the Rassmussen poll showing her approval ratings at 91%. The “leakers” have been pimp slapped by the grassroots, conservatives who are sick of the piling on of garbage of Palin. Love her or Hate her, there are people from both sides coming to defend her.
Everytime they dump more on her, I feel like I have to defend her like she is my mother or sister or something. McCain should be ashamed of himself for not speaking up. He sure didn’t waste a second defending THE ONE at his rallies when people called him a terrorist or a Muslim.
portlandon on November 10, 2008 at 2:25 PM
I think the thing that got to me was the lack of double-checking sources on some of the more outlandish statements (i.e. the Africa and NAFTA things, the Palin tantrums and diva spending sprees). It seems to me that if you’re going to ruin someone’s reputation based on anonymous sources, then you should have proof to back it up.
Illinidiva on November 10, 2008 at 2:26 PM
It’s not the “not shutting up” part that bugs me but the number of times that O’Reilly asks a guest a question and then proceeds to answer it himself before the guest can even get a word in.
highhopes on November 10, 2008 at 2:27 PM
I am biterly disappointed by Cameron. We all watched him get turned into a stooge by “unnamed sources.”
drjohn on November 10, 2008 at 2:30 PM
It is irritating how lies get legs.
Even this morning, I saw a letter to the editor in LAT that quoted the NAFTA lie as if it was an absolute fact.
Thanks Cameron, you weasel.
kurtzz3 on November 10, 2008 at 2:30 PM
I can’t stand Cameron and I turn O’reilly off since he’s only into self promotion. The gossip put out about the towel and understanding continents vs countries didn’t make headway with me as I’ve kept up with the “real” information about her. For example, she’s a voracious reader and she’s very punctual.
For those who were duped, how likely is it that a candidate who is scheduled every possible second of every day could possibly be out “shopping” and…..no papparazzi in site?
Our country is in dire need of honesty, Palin has it…I question all the rest!
SayWhat on November 10, 2008 at 2:30 PM
I’m telling you: a full Wonder Woman costume, with the wig and everything.
Jim Treacher on November 10, 2008 at 2:31 PM
Also, because Carl said he couldn’t tell us until after the campaign, that means he had been sitting on this information for days or weeks and had plenty of time to investigate it and find out from other people who were there if these stories were true or false. Considering how outrageous some of these stories — even my lib friends don’t really believe she doesn’t know Africa is a continent — Carl had a duty to check this stuff out.
CanadianGuy on November 10, 2008 at 2:31 PM
I’ll say it again, because it bears repeating: McCain did Palin a favor by not publically sticking up for her. It gives her a chance to 1) speak for herself, rather than depend on Dad doing it for her, and 2) separate herself from McCain and the losing campaign.
I’ll be interested to see whether she already starts putting down some independent policy markers. She never was anything like a vocal supporter of the bailout, for instance. The furthest out front I recall her getting was to say that something had to be done, though not necessarily the particular something that was then under consideration. Otherwise, being forced to defend the bailout – early on in the crisis – resulted in her most famously incoherent exchange with Couric.
CK MacLeod on November 10, 2008 at 2:31 PM
If I was FOX news and Oreily I would make an onair apology, fire Cameron. And put rules in place about this crap happening again.
unseen on November 10, 2008 at 2:32 PM
Watergate , interesting , I’ve seen the movie about it. The big struggle of those great journalist was to verify the story with a second source , otherwise the paper wouldn’t print it. Those were the days , in a place called USA , a long time ago.

Snowed In on November 10, 2008 at 2:34 PM
About 50% of the time Bill O’Reilly is blithering idiot – the other 50% can be divided into two parts:
1.) 25% useless
2.) 25% useful advocate
Fox News – like other networks has it’s share of knuckleheads, and mistakes, etc.
24 Hour news networks are filled with useless shows – so all too often these same useless shows yell “fire” to get attention and to appear relevant.
jake-the-goose on November 10, 2008 at 2:34 PM
When Fred Barnes went after the wrong person, he made a full apology at the start of a show.
In contrast, O’Reilly and Cameron show how small they are with these BS excuses.
… and Greta does actual journalism, which is so rare these days.
Right_of_Attila on November 10, 2008 at 2:35 PM
Pimpin’ a novice project here: I was mad at stabby aides and Palin ripping and made this. It could use maybe some quicker cuts but I like the ending.

Grue in the Attic on November 10, 2008 at 2:36 PM
Which is exactly why I like it.
Jim Treacher on November 10, 2008 at 2:37 PM
I see what you’re saying and if the intent was to ruin Palin’s reputation by revealing “the truth” about her, I would agree.
But what constituted the news in this case was not the truthfulness of the statements but that these statements were made by senior McCain campaign officials.
I didn’t like Carl Cameron’s breathless presentation of it, but the fact that these things were coming straight from staffers was news. Clearly this was not communicated well since so many people have the impression that the point of the report was to smear Palin and it’s fair to hold Cameron and O’Reilly responsible for that mistake.
But still I reserve my wrath for the McCain staffers who went out of their way to leak this information to a news reporter. They’re the real culprits and as the Newsweek stuff shows, if Cameron wouldn’t have reported it somebody else ceratinly would have.
Gilda on November 10, 2008 at 2:37 PM
I supported McCain. I respect him and the amazing service in blood he has given to this nation.
Bottom line: McCain is not a conservative or a republican. He will now go to great lengths to mend fences with his “base” i.e. the media. And in doing so, he will not think twice about throwing anyone under the bus…
I have to say, I thought it interesting in retrospect how few colleagues were out there supporting McCain. Where were the senators like Spector, Frist, Thune, et al? That tells you something about him…he is not well liked within his party, and his colleagues were not going to put their necks on the line for someone that rarely put his neck on the line for the party.
That said, thank God McCain pushed for the surge and helped get us to this point in Iraq.
joepub on November 10, 2008 at 2:39 PM
No shit.
Any long-term exposure to O’Reilly will make you turn on him if you’re paying attention for a number of reasons — ego, smugness, rudeness, repetitiveness (Let’s ask Bernie Goldberg for his views).
The thing I hate is when my lib friends say, “Oh your hero O’Reilly” because I watch Fox. I have to explain to them that most conservatives are mixed at best about BOR. It’s just he has some pretty good regular guests, including Laura Ingraham and Megan Kelly, both who should have his time slot if the world was fair. And what happened to Laurie Dhue?
CanadianGuy on November 10, 2008 at 2:39 PM
You had me at “O’Reilly really needs to shut up”.
thirteen28 on November 10, 2008 at 2:39 PM
O’Reilly is an opprotunist. He gets a reporter on his show to call Palin everything short of a serial killer and through O’Reillys “Fairness” he offers her 1/2 hour on the Monday show to “Set the record straight”.
I’m glad Palin chose Greta Van Susteran. It gives the middle finger to O’Reilly and rewards a reporter that has been fair to her and her family.
portlandon on November 10, 2008 at 2:40 PM
Which is not a healthy thing, considering those late night shows are strictly for entertainment, not serious news organizations at all. They don’t have layers of professional fact checkers, they don’t cover stories in depth, they make no effort to be fair and balanced, they hammer people repeatedly over the silliest mistakes, they make snap judgements, they …
Wait, I’m getting lost here. How exactly are the late night shows any different from the mainstream media? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?
tom on November 10, 2008 at 2:40 PM
Canadian Guy – there was a time there when I hoped Michelle Malkin would take over for him. That hope was crushed of course as all hope and changeyness inevitably is …
BrideOfRove on November 10, 2008 at 2:42 PM
I have to agree with Greta – she was smeared by those gutless wonders that probably have an agenda other than a few tall tales. Maybe they are ObamaMoles who were sent to create chaos and undermine McCain’s campaign.
DL13 on November 10, 2008 at 2:43 PM

Usually, the late night shows are less funny.
Snowed In on November 10, 2008 at 2:47 PM
Interesting. A few weeks ago there was apparently a “talk show hosts” summit on the Limbaugh compound. I’m certain they were strategizing for the “Fairness (NOT) Doctrine.”
Doesn’ the “Fairness (NOT) Doctrine” only apply to radio? WHAT IF, they all go to a cable news tv station? Seems like a couple will be up for sale very soon. And wouldn’t it be sweet, sweet, sweet, if “they” bought MSNBC and turned it into a station where “the rest of the real story” would be told?
stenwin77 on November 10, 2008 at 2:48 PM
Oh, and by the way, Fox News is worthless anymore. I get my news from HA and F.R. TV is a total complete massive waste of time.
stenwin77 on November 10, 2008 at 2:50 PM
she misses the most important point – that nobody bothered double checking the facts. Getting a response from Palin. Anything.
Phoenician on November 10, 2008 at 2:51 PM
I have not had FOx on since this crap came out. I will turn it on for the first time to hear Gov Palin tonight. After that I will again turn it off. Fox news is pretty much dead to me. So are CNN and MSNBC. I get my news almost 100% from the web now with some coming from radio. I would suggest everyone do the same.
The web allows you to be your own journalist and make up you own mind. Until fox fires Carl I will not watch it again in any meaningful way.

I saw all of Campaign Carla’s report on OReilly. It was the worst thing I have ever seen on FNC, not even worthy of MSDNC. It should have never aired. Aren’t there any editors working at FNC?
In any event, I’ve sworn off BOR and SHEP forever after that; and will not watch Brit H, either, if he insists on shoving Campaign Carla’s school-girl gossip down our throats. I will not support propaganda, which is all this was.
james23 on November 10, 2008 at 2:53 PM
FOX is NOT my network anymore… I listen to Rush, Mark and others, FOX is worried about not being in the “loop” with Obama-trons… I realy wish we had a voice, a face talking about REAL Conservative values. Work, Family, Faith and Country, Constitution, Flag, English Language, Stopping Illegal Imigration. Until we get that voice, we are toast.
Mark Garnett on November 10, 2008 at 2:54 PM
Hear, hear. She should tell Baba Wawa, Oprah, Matt Lauer and all the rest to go to hell too. Talk to Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck and Rush for a while. Those guys earned interviews too. The rest just want to try to screw her over. Make ‘em sweat it out for a few months.
meltenn on November 10, 2008 at 2:54 PM
My very first thought when Cameron was giddily dishing the scoop on Palin to O’R on the Factor:
Bill allowed this cr*p on his show because he didn’t
get his way. They clearly had rehearsed the back and
forth. Bill had notes and asked leading questions.
He was relishing the bashing of Palin like a boyfriend
who had been dumped.
I am sick of his pompous whining…

After allowing Cameron to shoot Palin’s reputation with an AK-47 for a good five precious minutes without even one interjected “COME ON!”, O’Reilly’s snide suggestion that her handlers should have briefed Palin on the map of the world was a new low, even for O’Reilly. Hopefully Palin will never forget this, and boycott his show forever.

There wasn’t a blogosphere when Quayle was being defined by the MSM and late night shows.

Let’s not forget-Cameron was caught in 2004 making something up about Jean-Claude Kerri. Which means that he can be a stranger to the truth.
