Wow, Fox News Have They No Shame?

Headline: Palin, Fox News, LL Cool J tangle over phantom interview

Seems Fox tried to pull a fast one implying that LL Cool J was to be featured on Sarah Palin's new television show. Only, LL knew nothing about it.

The audacity -- when LL blew the whistle on the scam, Fox responded with personal insults....hmmmmmn sounds like a trend --

The problem is that no such chitchat was produced for the Palin show. LL Cool J, star of "NCIS: Los Angeles," tweeted Tuesday night: "Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palins Show. WOW."

When contacted by Yahoo! News for comment, a Fox News spokesperson explained that LL Cool J had been informed in 2008 that the interview was planned as a segment for "Real American Stories"--though of course the network couldn't have known at the time that Palin would be hosting. The Fox spokesperson also provided us with a statement:

"Real American Stories features uplifting tales about overcoming adversity and we believe Mr. Smith's interview fit that criteria. However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career."
