FNC Execs Say Hosts “Gave Too Much Credence” To Obama/Madrassah Rumor

On Friday, FNC senior VP Bill Shine told ABC News that the hosts of Fox & Friends “gave too much credence to the Insight magazine report and spent far too long discussing its premise on the air.”

And now, FNC senior VP John Moody is telling the New York Times that “the hosts violated one of our general rules, which is know what you are talking about. They reported information from a publication whose accuracy we didn’t know.”
