FNC Sends Cease and Desist Over McCain Ad

Politico’s Michael Calderone reports Fox News has sent a cease and desist letter to the Sen. John McCain campaign, demanding they remove the voice of anchor Major Garrett.

The audio clip used is from a report by Garrett, the correspondent covering the Sen. Barack Obama campaign, on Wednesday.

Part of the letter reads: “As Mr. Garrett is a non-partisan news correspondent covering the Obama campaign for Fox News, it is highly inappropriate, among other things, of your campaign to use him in your ad.”
