In his role as co-host of CNN’s Crossfire, Carlson continued his habit of misrepresenting events to criticize how people respond to family deaths. After the memorial service commemorating those who died in the fatal plane crash that killed Senator Paul Wellstone, his wife, their daughter, and five others, Carlson stated, on October 30, 2002:

The political world is still reeling tonight from yesterday’s nauseating display in Minnesota, where a memorial service for the late Senator Paul Wellstone was hijacked by partisan zealots and turned into a political rally. Republican friends of Senator Wellstone were booed and shouted down as they tried to speak.

In fact, no Republicans were “shouted down as they tried to speak.” Carlson also said of the memorial service, “It is revolting” and “It makes me sick.”

Apparently, Carlson was revolted and sickened by something he hadn’t even seen. As Carlson admitted to Al Franken (as reported in Franken’s book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right), he hadn’t yet watched the memorial service he described in such outraged terms, even as he repeatedly and incorrectly referred to it as a funeral.
