Criticism

Bias

Cameron has been criticized as being a partisan Republican in his reporting, both in what he reports and in the way he labels concepts, persons and issues he reports on.[1] [2] [3] [4]


Allegations of Journalistic Fraud

Media watchdog groups claim that on a number of occasions Carl Cameron has fabricated statements by Democratic politicians, and that this was done to boost their Republican opponents. One example cited by Media Matters for America was a claim that John Kerry labeled George W. Bush a "warmonger" who intended to create "perpetual war" around the world; Media Matters averred that no such instance of that criticism ever occurred. [5] In another instance, Cameron wrote a story posted on the Fox News website which included fabricated quotes from Kerry; the senator purportedly called himself a "metrosexual" and Bush a "cowboy" and spoke effeminately about a manicure. Official Fox News spokesman Paul Schur later said it was intended to be an internal joke not for publication, and the network apologized for the piece, but only on its website, and only through a tag on the article in which these quotes appeared.
