Faux News comes through again...

with their unresponsible dealing with the facts. I mean even I didn't think they'd stoop to this level to spin news, but hey I guess they'll do whatever it takes to bend the facts for the desired end. How do they stay on TV?

Notice anything wrong with this picture?

They tried the same thing when Mark Foley disgraced himself.

Re: Faux News comes through again...

Really, I thought Mark Foley was a Democrat.


I didn't think FOX news would do something like this intentionally, but given all of the examples, a good argument can be made that FOX is attempting to mislead its sheep, uh, viewers.

Re: Faux News comes through again...

What Fox did shouldn't surprise no one. I just dont understand how people can watch them and MSNBC. The partisan anchors and tone on these networks makes them hard to watch at times. I cant tell you the amount of times i had to turn off O'riley and Hannity. Keith Olberman and that Rachael woman is just blechhhhh.

Whenever Fox News wants you to forget that someone is actually a Republican, they, ah, accidentally label them a Democrat on their chryon and let it go. So they did that today, as you can see, while Mark Sanford was explaining that he had been in Argentina to screw around on his wife. (They corrected it in later chryons.)
So how do we know this was intentional? Fox can't be stupid enough to think they an fool millions of viewers? Why correct it then?

Right, the source is pretty incredible.

Here are the correct clips:

http://www.foxnews.com/search-result...-bombshell.htm

http://www.foxnews.com/search-result...to-my-wife.htm

http://www.foxnews.com/search-result...the-family.htm



I'd have to read about that somewhere else, to believe it.

Re: Faux News comes through again...

Well, I guess you could believe that Fox News just throws things on the air without verifying it or caring about the fact of the matter. I guess you could go a step farther and assume that they've repeatedly made this error at the times a Republican has damaged the reputation of the GOP.

Either way, they obviously play lightly with the facts of the matter whether inadvertently or purposefully.

Mike, I do agree with you on a lot of things, but do you have any other sources to verify this? I normally like to have at least three.

Yep, I think if you and I sat down and talked about politics at the end we'd agree on more than we disagree on PO.

I'd heard about Faux trying to sneak a (D) title by disgraced (R)'s, but that's the only website from a very quick search that I saw that had screen shots of the actual broadcasts. Those are screen shots of actual Faux News footage that was aired on their network.

I didn't actually witness all of the others but I saw the Mark Sanford one with my own two eyes. I'll look around and see if any other sites have it documented with screen shots.

We got rid of our satellite several years ago, so I only catch the important stuff on-line.

Are you saying that you were actually watching the coverage on Fox News and saw this?
