In the latest issue of "Television Week" Conservative leaning Fox News ran a two page ad under the headline "MEET THE PARIS HILTON OF TELEVISION NEWS" (and of course, among Conservative circles, that is considered an "insult").
Fox News aimed the slur at CNN's Anderson Cooper after Cooper took a shot at Fox for running with a FALSE story aimed at smearing Barack Obama saying he had attended a radical Islamic school as a child in Indonesia. "Others are reporting the heat. We are sticking to the facts," Cooper said.
While Cooper isn't directly mentioned of pictured, there is a photo taken from behind of a grey-haired, slim man in a suit.
The ad claims that "Anderson" is "style over substance" and a "media darling." It goes on to say "He still gets beat every night by Greta Van Susteren."
You call Fox News out on being 100% inaccurate, they'll call you Paris Hilton! You've been warned!!!

I am still curious though--during the summer of 2003; right around the time of the Joe Wilson "17 words" flap; Susteren reported that Russian special ops were responsible for removing Sadaam's WMD. Why no follow-up stories?
"Is Laura Bush the best first lady EVAAAR?" "Did Russia remove the WMD's from Iraq? "Is Hillary Clinton responible for BUILDING WMD's?" "Did the Democrats secretly change the Constitution last year to keep Bush from running for a third term?"
