(This is an extended copy of the version posted Sunday. In my haste to post the clip, I had failed to include Wallace's comments to Sec. Duckworth. If you K&R'd the previous video, I ask that you do the same for this... complete... version. - Thx)

During this week's Fox "news" Sunday, they ran a segment responding to "the flood of viewer mail" they received regarding their "explosive interview" (more like "openly hostile" interview) with Assistant Secretary of Veteran Affairs Tammy Duckworth regarding the "Death Book" that Republicans are suggesting "steers disabled vets toward euthanasia".

They then went on to "Fact Check" Duckworth's comments. First one out of the box, the availability of the so-called "Death Book". They play a clip of Duckworth claiming the book "will not be available until 2010." They then call her a liar.

But I remembered the conversation from the week before, and I remembered that she was talking about a REVISED version of the booklet (with the troublesome references omitted) as not yet available.

So I went back and looked at the video from last week. Sure enough, they selectively edited her comment to omit reference to the "revised" version.

(BTW: Duckworth is a double amputee below the knees. During today's viewer mail, a Fox supporter commended them for "holding her feet to the fire.")

Stay classy, guys.
