No network is 'perfect', and no network is as bias, partisan and dishonest as Fox News.

I heard Ray McGovern, a retired CIA agent whose expertise was the old Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc countries say the propaganda coming out of Fox News is at the same level as Pravda. But I suspect most Russians knew Pravda was propaganda.
 
Paul supporters have claimed that Fox News—which some might expect to promote an establishment Republican over the anti-establishment Paul—intentionally aired the wrong footage to place Paul in a negative light against runner-up Mitt Romney.

Paul's spokeswoman declined to comment to The Cutline.

However, Fox denies any such deception. Michael Clemente, Fox's senior vice president of news, told Mediaite that "we made a mistake with some of the video we aired, and plan on issuing a correction on America's Newsroom tomorrow morning explaining exactly what happened."

Hemmer admitted the error on air today. "It's an honest mistake. We apologize for the error. We look forward to having Representative Paul back on our program very soon," he told viewers.

Still, this isn't the first time Fox has aired the wrong footage in a way that could be perceived as benefiting certain Republicans.

In November 2009, Fox's Sean Hannity had Rep. Michele Bachmann on describing an anti-health care reform rally while airing footage from a significantly larger event led by Glenn Beck a few months earlier. Hannity apologized the next night for the mix-up, which was caught by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart. You can watch the Stewart report below:

Fox again aired the wrong crowd footage during a segment just a week later.

Fox's Greg Jarrett reported that Sarah Palin was "drawing huge crowds" while on a book tour. The footage, however, was actually from a larger 2008 campaign event. Fox's management chalked up the incorrect footage to a "production error." The network hired Palin soon after as a contributor.

I'm astounded that anyone here thinks it wasn't intentional. Yeah, we accidentally went looking for some old footage and then managed to run it instead of this fresh news footage.

You are an idiot if you believe this just like the people who believe "hide the decline" refered to "a statistical technique" and not to "hiding the decline in tree ring density (correlation to CO2 and temps)"
 
Doood, it's a 24-7 news show. Mistakes are bound to happen. All "footage" are electronic files and someone could have easily mis-filed something on the server or improperly named the file.

I understand what Giuliani and Romney understood...it wouldn't play well to the GOP base. The fact that you diverge only proves even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.

Obviously Giuliani and Romney didn't understand the GOP base...

I dont know if you work, but what would happen if you screwed up at your place of work. Suppose you were a carpenter and made a table with a short leg. Are your customers going to shrug and say, 'well, mistakes happen.'
If you are in the public eye with millions of customers and possibly millions of shareholders are you seriously saying that people should simply stand with stupid grins and say, 'Hey, mistakes are bound to happen.'
Mistakes are NOT bound to happen in an organisation such as that. There are just too many experts, too many people to check before a clip is shown.

Actually, as a designer, I make literally hundreds of decisions every day, and almost none of them are based on complete information. So have I made mistakes? You bethcha! And I'll make more before I'm done. But I will attest at being right 99.44% of the time, a better record than the great Rush Limbaugh.

With regards to a large organization such as this, I'm surprised more mistakes aren't made.

Have you ever heard of "bloopers"?

Behold the power of propaganda! A little lie here, a little typo there, a misrepresentation there and when they're caught the brainwashed claim 'oh, it must be a mistake, everyone makes mistakes.' Faux's main purpose is to represent multinational billionaires and to brainwash the masses to support an ideology that is against their own best interests. I'm surprised that it took you so long to see the lies Faux News has told over the years.

You should subscribe to the BBC World and, because the ME is 'quite' important now, Al Jazeera, English. Between the two you will get some hard, and often unpleasant, facts.
I do not understand why all American News programmes are called 'Shows' as if they are Vaudeville or something. And, I'm sorry to say this that most, certainly not all, the anchors and journalists are bloody useless. If they dont have lisps then thay are obsessed with themselves and not the subject they are reporting.

I have BBC World available on the "Get News" area of the board. You should check it out, there are a ton of options. I'll add anything you suggest so long as they have a good RSS feed. Sometimes the RSS feed just won't work with my code though. I've tried adding huffpo but their RSS feed just doesn't work. I try about once a month to see if it will start working... *sigh*

Anyway, check out the 'get news' link at the top of the board. It's a quick way to get the gist of the news and links to stories you want to read.

So when SMK mis-identifies Ciavarella as a republican, it's a deliberate lie; but when Faux News does the same, it's misfiling or server problems.

Blooper;
blunder: an embarrassing mistake

Propaganda;
Propaganda is a form of communication aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience.

Isn't it odd that Faux news 'bloopers' are always designed to show the left in a bad light or to cover the rights crimes?
Please SM, show me one example of a faux blooper that shed a bad light on the right. Just one. Since you believe it it must be true, show me one example. or shut the fuck up.

You're making the accusation. It's not my responsibility to prove you wrong. Why do you hate to take responsibility?

Ta muchly for the offer. We have BBC World and a couple of others on our B'band TV thingy. HuffPo is OK but it seems to be morphing into just another news source since dear AOL took over. It is the only US source of news I have on my pod. I used to have NYT because many years ago it impressed me, but no longer. Same can be said for the Washington Post. Quite a boring read. Not many pictures to colour in!! :)

LOL
Hayworth was running against McCain who Faux endorsed. Of course they will eat their own if need be. Nice try.

"Now that the 2008 election is over, reporters are spilling all the juciest, and previously off the record, gossip from the campaign trail. Much of it is about the infighting between Palin and McCain's staff...According to Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron, there was great concern within the McCain campaign that Palin lacked "a degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency," in part because she didn't know which countries were in NAFTA, and she "didn't understand that Africa was a continent, rather than a series, a country just in itself."

Lol, after the fact dirt that if you paid attention at the time was common knowledge.
