Fox's John Moody: McCain A Race-Baiter

By The Daily Dish

The great thing about the blogosphere is that you can say something but you then have to stand by it. On October 23, John Moody, executive vice-president of Fox News, wrote the following sentence:

If the [Pittsburgh] incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain’s quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.

Since then, since we discovered it was a hoax, Moody has been silent. Qui tacet consentire videtur. The view of the executive vice-president of Fox News is that John McCain is a race-baiter. Worth remembering.
