“Fox News Contributor” Bill Bennett

bennettsept30.jpgOn Thursday’s Hannity & Colmes, Bill Bennett defended his comments about aborting black babies. The chyrons touted the interview as an “H&C Exclusive,” and ID’ed Bennett as “‘Morning in America’ host.” Of course it was an exclusive — as ABC’s Jake Tapper supposes, “his contract with FOX prevents him from doing other TV interviews.” But the graphics did not identify Bennett as a Fox News contributor. (Past H&C appearances by Bennett have been described that way.)

> A tipster says the hosts also “failed to point out” Bennett’s connection to FNC.

> On Friday’s Factor, John Gibson said liberals are “jumping on Bill Bennett like a trampoline.”
