During the 30-second commercial, LL Cool J, country singer Toby Keith and ex-GE CEO Jack Welch are mentioned as guests on the first show.
However, LL revealed Fox News’ underhanded ways on his Twitter page by saying, “Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else and are misrepresenting [it] to the public in order to promote Sarah Palin’s show. Wow.”
A spokeswoman for Fox News released a statement about the incident and derided LL Cool JJ on his acting career.
“As it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledging acting career.” –a.r.
