Rule 1: verify sources

This morning the Fox News research team was hot on the trail again. The host was doing one of those triptych interviews with Michelle Bachmann and a woman on the DNC, and brought up increasing UK ire over the bashing BP is taking in the US over its oil spill.

The moderator noted the UK papers were getting up in arms about it and cited, as an example, an editorial from The Globe & Mail.


It's easy to see why Fox News would like a pull quote- the G&M is a conservative paper.

Trouble is, it's not a British paper.

It's Canadian. From Toronto.
