As if you needed any more evidence that FOX news just makes up the news.

It's not the first time they've been caught out. Cue, apology followed by nothing changing.

Bear caught ****ing in woods?

The real mystery is how they are allowed to braodcast such lies.

It's called a wee bit of manipulation. It's American politics at work so no big deal there.

Wasn't there a court case recently whose outcome was that Fox News didn't have an obligation to report events truthfully as it was an entertainment product?

Fox News makes the Onion News Network look legitimate.

Yes as they have the right to lie apparently. I wish Fox News would just go under.

They are meant to report what happens, not manipulate it.

According to law they don't have to report what happens. They could report that aliens have landed outside the White House, even if they haven't and not be done for lying. Stupid court ruling is stupid.

I'm shocked

TriedandTested · 16 Feb 2011 at 16:59

Amateurs. Should be called Fox Storytime or something.

Abraham · 16 Feb 2011 at 16:59

did they not just play completely the wrong audio?
i.e. the entirety of last years audio.
I'd never defend fox, but it seems like a **** up rather than manipulation.
ah, the second video makes it more obvious.

old news is old. I only view their channel to have a laugh at their B.S

You're new to this News lark, aren't you? All news outlets have agendas, and all (at the very least) pick and choose the "facts" they present to get across their particular view. Some go further, and distort, some go further still and just make it up. Given what the tabloids (and on occasion the "quality" papers) get up to, it's a still forward to beat Fox: the Sun has done worse in the past for starters.

Fox News is good for controversy and generally a good giggle (especially when they invite actual intelligent people on the show to chat with O'Reilly.)

I don't even count Fox as news anyway so it's not really annoying to see this at all.

Murdoch's Fox News (UK) will soon be lying on a TV set near to you :rolleyes:

Ciphon · 16 Feb 2011 at 17:23

The laughing bit at the end is brilliant!

Hanlon's razor.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence."

Do you have proof of malicious intent?

Answer: No you don't.
