Fox busted again
Thanks to the Daily show another fast one attempted by Fox News has been
busted. Michelle Bachman, a representative from Minnesota, tried to get people to come to Washington to pressure congressmen not to vote for health care reform. On Fox News they showed shots of the crowd, and in the attempt to make it look much bigger than it really was, they spliced in pictures from another crowd on another day that was much larger. It was clear deception intended to make Bachman's turn out look much larger than it really was. Unfortunately for them John Stewart noticed the actual crowd scene was not the one that happened several months ago. Trees and the weather were different. So once again more proof that Fox News has a conservative agenda it's aggressively pushing has come to light. Fox News...Busted! Quit calling it news. Hawke |

Dave- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - LOL...Dave has a VERY GOOD POINT. So SteveB instead of being a winger and slinking away, why don't you respond to Dave's question with a thoughtful, articulate answer. I would like to hear why Fox News shouldn't be kicked in the pants for this. Massive fine maybe? TMT |

Dave What really makes the difference is for them to come right out as soon as the error was realized and make an apology. Which is what they did LAST evening. And not to go with the story until months or years later when some independent investigator finally brings in the smoking gun. There is no honesty. But there is responsibility when a person or agency stands up quickly and said, We screwed up. I think the canned footage in question was of very little value to the story, and the opposition was just nit picking. At the end of the apology, Fox commended the other "journalists" (gag, gag, gag) on watching their station so closely and for so long. Steve |

Hannity gave it about ten seconds and said it was "inadvertent." Right. And the check is in the mail. g BTW, who is that young priest he had on? I was brought up Catholic but I never heard a priest talk like that. He could have been the spiritual advisor to the Wehrmacht.

Very accurate indeed. Seems John has again **** in his messkit. Gunner People tend to have friends and neighbors who are a somewhat like they are, so it shouldn't be a surprise that you and SteveB think the country is full of ignorant buttheads. But the report John is referring to probably was based on one from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press -- a somewhat conservative organization -- that does these surveys periodically. For example, here are the results from their study titled "What Americans Know," which was done in 2007 or 2008: http://people-press.org/report/319/p...on-revolutions As John says, the people who "regularly" watch FOX News Channel are the bottom of the barrel -- again, about what one would expect. Among news channels, those who watch PBS's Jim Lehrer are at the top; similarly, those who read the mainstream media newspaper websites are on top of the online news heap. Those who read blogs are near the bottom. Interestingly, those who watch the pseudo-news/opinion channels also score 'way up there. People who watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report score highest of all. g But those who watch O'Reilly and who listen to Limbaugh also score near the top. It's an interesting report. As you can see, the question that SteveB asks about Pelosi was answered correctly by 49% of those surveyed. 69% (in 2007) knew who the VP was. If only 10% of those he knows "follow current events," Steve might want to choose smarter friends, or move to a better neighborhood. In your case, moving to a desert island probably would be a better neighborhood. Americans in general are a lot smarter than the ones you appear to know. -- Ed Huntress |

Michelle Bachman, a representative from Minnesota, tried to get people to come to Washington to pressure congressmen not to vote for health care reform. On Fox News they showed shots of the crowd, and in the attempt to make it look much bigger than it really was, they spliced in pictures from another crowd on another day that was much larger. It was clear deception intended to make Bachman's turn out look much larger than it really was. Unfortunately for them John Stewart noticed the actual crowd scene was not the one that happened several months ago. Trees and the weather were different. So once again more proof that Fox News has a conservative agenda it's aggressively pushing has come to light. Fox News...Busted! Quit calling it news. So you're saying Fox is no more trustworthy than the other networks? Is this news to you? Do you look at ABC, NBC And CBS as critically as you do Fox? Actually, there was a study, published in the 31 September 2008 issue of Scientific American, which showed that between 25 - 50% of the American public were misinformed regarding current events and that those who got their information from Fox News were far and away the most poorly informed. I ditched "'Scientific' American" decades ago, when they became a mouthpiece for the Church of Warmingism. Cheers! Rich |
