Fox News Sunday [1] fails in the eyes of the Watchdog, going 0-for-3 [2] in its interview of McCain adviser and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. [3]
There were no questions about McCain's health care plan, no questions about Fiorina belief that offshoring American jobs should be considered "right-shoring," and no questions about how she "parked cash" overseas for Hewlett-Packard to avoid paying corporate taxes.
What questions were asked by host Chris Wallace instead?
'Fiorina is a quick study. Listen to how she deals with economic questions about McCain."
OK, that's not really a question.
"How painful was that?" Being fired by Hewlett-Packard that is.
And finally, "I don't have to tell you there is more and more talk about you as a possible vice presidential running mate ... Is it flattering to be mentioned?"
Perhaps only in the world of Fox News could a fired CEO with no record of public service who supports the offshoring of American jobs be seriously considered as vice-presidential material.
