Howie Kurtz, Faux Waterboy

From ROBERT BOYNTON: The Washington Post sidebar article about my giving Fox only twenty-four hours is misleadingly titled. I gave Fox 72 hours to respond and have the emails to back that up. I forwarded them all to Kurtz, who acknowledged that I was correct, but only glancingly refers to them in the piece. I gave Fox every opportunity to respond and honestly wanted to know their policy about the "fair use" of their footage in a documentary which was critical of them. Their decision not to get back to me was a result of either bureaucratic incompetence or pr calculation.

Did Howie change the hed? Maybe he can explain in his little chit-chat today.
