fair and balanced, my ass
from media matters
the FOX & Friends co-hosts distorted Heinz Kerry's comments to a group of preschoolers, characterizing her remarks as "bizarre":
DOOCY: She is smart, because when asked by 60 Minutes II, when asked what she would like to do if her husband is elected -- you know what she said -- she'd like to be the White House dog.
HILL: Why?
BRIAN: I don't understand that.
KILMEADE: She said I would like to be the dog.
HILL: Why?
DOOCY: I would like to be the dog.
KILMEADE: It's a bizarre answer.
DOOCY: And I believe there was some growling.
KILMEADE: It was a bizarre interview.
Heinz Kerry, while visiting with a group of preschoolers, said, "I'd like to be a dog. Wouldn't you like to be a dog? Do you know why? Wouldn't you like to be a dog? I would. Dogs are friendly." CBS news correspondent Byron Pitts played a video clip of Heinz Kerry's remarks to the schoolchildren on CBS Evening News on June 15 to illustrate his characterization of her as "reachable."
During a January 25 60 Minutes interview on CBS, when asked what her role would be as first lady, Heinz Kerry responded, "Keeping him honest, strong, up, when they knock him, and real humble when they praise him too much. And you know Washington. They always do that. You know, you're either a devil or you're a saint, and we -- none of us are either, or most of us are not."
