Fox News smacks anchor for tweeting WND video

Fox News smacks anchor for tweeting WND video: Responding to criticism from the left-wing watchdog site Media Matters, Fox News Channel management says it “addressed” a “mistake” by a news anchor who asked her Twitter followers to weigh in on a claim by an insider in Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign that the Obama camp threatened Chelsea Clinton’s life if her parents exposed what they knew about Obama’s presidential eligibility.

Weekend and early morning anchor Heather Childers distributed the message with a link to a blog that picked up on a WND story that featured a video interview.

In a statement to the website Mediaite, Fox News Senior Vice President Michael Clemente said: “The tweets have been addressed with Heather and she understands there was a mistake.”
