Fox’s Bill Hemmer: ‘It’s fascinating how little we know about’ how the Internet works.

This morning, Fox News hosted right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin to assert tenuous ties between Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) campaign and a viral video about Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) — despite the fact the video’s creator and the Obama camp deny any such link. After the segment, host Bill Hemmer marveled at how “fascinating” the Internet is. As he and co-host Megyn Kelly talked about the “total bunk” that floats around the Internet, Kelly gave a plug for their own medium. “Stick with cable!” she exhorted. “We’re here for you,” Hemmer agreed. Watch it:

Ironically enough, Kelly and Hemmer blame the Internet for passing along the false rumor that Obama is a Muslim — completely ignoring their own network’s central role in perpetuating that lie.
