Fox News-Getting it wrong...Again, and again...

Fox News Falsely Claims Daschle and Gephardt Are Registered Lobbyists Fox News published a story this week headlined, “Premium Placed on Lobbyists Who Served in Congress.” The first two paragraphs:
What do Tom Daschle, John Ashcroft, Fred Thompson, J.C. Watts, Zell Miller and Dick Gephardt have in common these days? They are all former members of Congress — and they are all registered lobbyists.
"Actually, neither Gephardt nor Daschle (who is a fellow at the Center for American Progress) are or have been registered lobbyists since they left office, according to the U.S. Senate’s official database. We called both their offices to confirm the Senate’s records. The error is especially egregious considering how easy it is to find out who has been registered as a lobbyist. Just search a name at http://sopr.senate.gov. Ashcroft, Thompson, Watts, and Miller are all there. Gephardt and Daschle — the only two progressives on Fox’s list — aren’t". That's hilarious! Fox News writes an article pointing to six former Congressmen, four Republicans and two Democrats, who are now lobbyists and as it turns out, they were right about the Republicans but the two Democrats, are not lobbyists. And don't even try to say the that stupid redneck asshole Zell Miller is a Democrat either! Fox News-The Reason They're So Stupid!
