Description: http://www.newshounds.us On July 4th during Special Report Catherine Herridge interviewed John Lott, an "expert" on crime statistics, using him to rebut a new report that shows that violent crime has increased by double digits in the Midwest and West. In typical FOX fashion they did not have an opposing viewpoint and neglected to tell thier audience that Lott's reputation took a hit in 2003 when it was discovered that he was using a phony online identity to defend his own faulty research.
