I freqently read FoxNews online to get an idea of their take on things. Yesterday I emailed them in connection with a story of theirs.

Here is what the story said, beginning with a blaring headline:

"Bruni Backs Off From Obama Kiss
Michelle Obama received an enthusiastic smooch from French President Nicolas Sarkozy Friday but her hubby only got a handshake from First Lady Carla Bruni"

and continues with:

"Former model Carla lent (sic, Eb) in to give the world's most powerful man a traditional kiss on the cheek. But he appeared to flinch away, leaving her flustered -- and they ended up settling on a stiff shake.

"Carla, 41, did manage to kiss Michelle during the encounter in Strasbourg, the first time the two first lady style icons have met."


I then went on to ask:

"Which is it? I'm sure you would not willingly mislead anyone. Thank you for your attention. Elva Bontrager"

Think I'll get a response?

(Of course, I realize that a caption writer is not the same one who writes the story but 'fair and balanced' this is not. Or even accurate.)
