This story, plus comments, are a must read to understand how Pravda and other state organizations have worked and will continue to work. When is a transcript not a transcript? When can the speaker deny he said what he said? Control and repetition can alter the truth. When the author of said words will not run the unedited audio, then the defenders will only quote from the edited transcript/audio, then repeat, repeat, repeat. You get a really big picture of a really big controlled spin. Ken, Bill, Rush and Juan - the old machine could not have done it better. Fortunately for the rest of us there is the full transcript still available. Sorry guys.

This is poor journalism. Only Fox commentators are mentioned, with Williams, who makes pro-Republican comments in his book, Enough, the farthest from the extreme Right. Even the links fail to mention both sides of other alleged smears, though there is some more balanced coverage in the links' links.

Juan Williams is left for sure, but I love to hear his analysis and often he persuades me in a different light than I came to a problem to start with. I have never seen him as dishonest and the state of calling everyone a bigot has gotten far, far, out of hand. This is often fueled by the likes of Jackson and Sharpton, but even they, who make a living on promoting disharmony, back Juan's facts.
