[For more, see NewsBusters.] The viewers of ABC News might not know it, but one of the network's senior reporters, Jon Karl, grilled White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Friday about claims that al Qaeda had been "decimated." Instead, it was left to a competitor, Fox News, to highlight Karl's battle with Earnest. On Friday's On the Record, Greta Van Susteren played a clip of the two.  She featured the journalist grilling, "Is it time to kind of revise and extend what the White House has said over and over again, by claiming a core Al Qaeda has been disseminated. Is it clear now that that was simply an incorrect statement?"
