bret require was a rupert murdoch publication, the "wall street journal" that broke this story. there were other organizations that didn't run with it either, but i wants aware we had anything prior to that. howie: "times" jay carney became a press secretary, and george stephanopoulos, so this is hardly unique to fox news. bret: i'm disconnected from the opinion side. i like to think we have horse blinders on and we let news bubble up on our program. the democrats who come on say that was fair.
