However, the video also prominently features a sign reading “www.mccain2000.com,” which at one point is even waved in front of McCain’s face.
“Fox is actually using eight year old video to discuss today’s activities,” Abrams marveled. He concluded cheerfully, “They report — you decide.”
In addition to going after Fox, Abrams also aired a recent segment from CNN’s Headline News…
