Well, that’s just great, Neil…except for the part about the virus mutating. I guess Fox hosts simply cannot tell the truth, no matter how hard they try.

Cavuto…you’re late on this. I believe that this was already covered by Stewart, Oliver or Colbert.

I’m with you A,but sometimes these folks at faux news? realize “stupid is as stupid does”,even as those in the GOP don’t realize and Mr Cavuto was trying to "pull their coat ".to that fact.

Huh. Fox News has nothing on the liberal blogosphere, which beat even the GOP in denouncing the guy as a haaaackkkkk!!!, he’s not a doctorrrrr!!! he’s not the Surgeon Generallllll!!! OBAMA DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE’S DOINNNGGGGG!!! Within hour of being named! Oh boy did the fist-shaking outrage pour out here on TPM. Without even understanding what the guy’s role was supposed to be.
And believe me, it pains me to agree with Neil Fucking Cavuto.

I hereby request that all stories written about Fox News be formatted as chyrons rather paragraphs. For instance, this story could have been presented as text scrolling across the screen, text like:
Neil Cavuto: Ron Klain Not A Hero But Not Necessarily A Hack. Yet.
Did Neil Cavuto REALLY Say That?
Ron Klain: Political Hack or Guy Getting Criticized Before His Effort To Coordinate US EBOLA Response Even Starts?
Is Medical Expertise Necessary To Coordinate US Response To Ebola?
Was Bush Bird Flu Coordinator More Qualified Than Klain?
White Blonde To Discuss Abducted White Blonde On Fox Tonight At 8
And so on.

if there was more of this kind of thing on Fox, I would have far fewer objections to the BS they peddle.

Ooh, he said “Marcus Welby.” They know their audience, that’s for sure.

Who said this virus is mutating?
Fox News has confused the plot of the movie Outbreak with objective reality.

If Jesus Christ returned today and Obama appointed him as Ebola Czar, they STILL would have had a problem with it.

This is the FOX version of having to admit egg on face for blatant hypocrisy. It’s way short of an apology or change of behavior.

The people who sequenced the virus said it was mutating: “We observed a rapid accumulation of interhost and intrahost genetic variation…” “Determining whether individual mutations are deleterious, or even adaptive, would require functional analysis; however, the rate of nonsynonymous mutations suggests that continued progression of this epidemic could afford an opportunity for viral adaptation (Fig. 4H), underscoring the need for rapid containment.” (From here: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/345/6202/1369.full)

It says “could” not is.
There’s a huge difference between those two little words.

It could adapt. It is mutating.

You have to have a shred of credibility to be listened to. Neil Cavuto lost all of his years ago. And that is his own fault so don’t feel bad for him.
In fact, Faux is just a sham, a scam, a spoof, a play on real news. They are a licensed entertainment corp and had to go to court to gain that so that they aren’t held libelous or sued for slander. Faux is all partisan hack all the time on purpose, it’s what they do and what they are selling. These feeble attempts to moderate prove that they have over sold their product and nothing more.
Full blown crazy has entered the lame duck phase.
And BTW, if this virus was going to mutate it likely would’ve, but it isn’t going to on cue because a pretend/faux news show decides to hype the story in order to sell fear, as per the norm. Ebola isn’t taking cues from faux news and won’t magically mutate in perfect timing while the hysteria is being whipped up. It doesn’t work like that even though faux would love a massive breakout, these two things do not coincide.
If anything, faux is the mutant and needs to feared and quarantined, they are a plague on America and have become an almost uncontrollable sickness. They must be reckoned with.

Marcus Welby??! WTF? He’s a TV show character. /banghead
You would think people would get tired of the negativity. Especially when it is so obvious they are just making stuff up to be negative about.
