Earlier this week, Media Matters detailed how Eric Bolling, on his Fox Business show Follow the Money, falsely asserted he was “reading directly from” a Center for American Progress report when he claimed that it “blames Islamophobia in America on a small group of Jews and Israel supporters in America, whose views are being backed by millions of dollars.” In fact, he was reading from a piece attacking the report at the right-wing website American Thinker.

Now, as Think Progress notes, Bolling has issued a correction on the Follow the Money show page at the Fox Business website:

I want to correct something from a segment we did the other night on Follow the Money regarding Islam in America. The topic was a report from the Center for American Progress. At one point, I read a brief passage which said the group blamed Islamophobia on “a small group of Jews and Israel supporters in America”.

You need to know that I was reading aloud from an American Thinker magazine article critical of the group's report and not from the report itself. Sorry for the confusion.
