Fox whitewashed Lott's 2002 resignation: "He ran into a little bit of difficulty"
November 15, 2006 5:59 pm ET
SUMMARY: Several discussions on Fox News
about Sen. Trent Lott's candidacy for Senate minority whip have glossed
over or omitted any explanation of exactly why Lott stepped down from his Senate leadership post in 2002 --
specifically, that Lott was forced to resign after praising Sen. Strom Thurmond's 1948
pro-segregationist presidential campaign.
