Fox News: Apologize for Creating That Monster!

Fox News has been one of the biggest supporters of James O’Keefe, who is infamous for dressing up as a pimp and videotaping ACORN staffers offering to help the supposed pimp and his prostitutes secure funding for a brothel. The network constantly replayed coverage from his operation. In September, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace named O’Keefe his “Power Player of the Week,” calling him an “undercover reporter” and a “fascinating character.”

Glenn Beck and Fox and Friends have also gone out of their way to promote O’Keefe as a hero.

Now we know he isn’t a hero, but a devious delinquent without any respect for the law.

Yesterday, the FBI arrested O’Keefe and three others — “charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony” — saying that they were plotting to wiretap Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office (D-LA). (read more at ThinkProgress.org)

Fox News’ endorsement of this sleazy character is just more proof that it puts advocating for the right above honest journalism.

Fox News, Glenn Beck, Chris Wallace, and Fox and Friends owe us an apology for unleashing this monster.

Let them know you expect them to step up to the plate and take responsibility for their actions.

RT this petition now and tell all your friends to do the same.

Thanks,
