LEAKED EMAIL: Fox boss caught slanting news reporting | Media Matters for America: "At the height of the health care reformdebate last fall, Bill Sammon, FoxNews' controversial Washington managing editor, sent a memo directing hisnetwork's journalists not to use the phrase 'public option.'
Instead, Sammon wrote, Fox's reportersshould use 'government option' and similar phrases -- wording that a topRepublican pollster had recommended in order to turn public opinion against theDemocrats' reform efforts.
Journalists on the network's flagship newsprogram, Special Report with Bret Baier, appear to have followedSammon's directive in reporting on health care reform that evening."
