The Clinton-Fox interview

Fox host Chris Wallace's attempt to ambush Clinton has generated an incredible amount of blog buzz over the last week. Ostensibly on to be interviewed largely about the Clinton Global Initiative Conference, the host used the ol' bait and switch and started accusing Clinton of giving Osama bin Laden a free pass and failing to respond to terrorist attacks. Clinton wasn't having any of that, and turned the tables on Wallace, asking him questions that he could only dodge-- because answering honestly would've meant acknowledging Fox's rigt-wing agenda.

Crooks and Liars has video of the first 20 minutes of the interview, plus a transcript.

Media Matters dissects Wallace's false claims that Fox has asked Bush administration officials plenty of tough terrorism questions.

Think Progress has a shorter video, plus links to their posts on Wallace's claims of asking Republicans tough questions.
