Morris Says He Disclosed FNC Tie To Imam

Without actually saying so, Fox News contributor Father Jonathan Morris says this Guardian story is incorrect. An imam alleged that the elders of his mosque were “tricked” by Morris. Mohammed Shoyaib said Morris never mentioned his Fox affiliation.

But on FOXNews.com, Morris says: “My hat goes off to the leaders of the mosque. From the beginning, I told them clearly that I was working with an American television network, and later I did tell them that I was with FOX News, an American sister network of Sky News in England. We talked at length. They were cordial, forthcoming, and all this as they let the camera roll. Other news media jumped in and tried to cause a stink, but that’s how it is in the news world. Some people are willing to break up something very good, just to get a story.”
