Cmon man do you really think they do this on purpose :roll: .

I can see it now all the talking heads sitting around the confrence table first thing mon morning discussing how they can splice footage and manipulate their audience. :roll: Think about it for a sec. There are people that sit around all day,groups like Media matters and move on.org ect.ect. that watch and monitor fox news looking for this kind of stuff. The kinda stuff that MSNBC and others cant wait to talk about so they can get people like you that hate Fox all wound up over non sense. In other words why would they do this knowing that their are people watching every second ? I bet MSNBC has made mistakes just like other networks have that doesn't mean they did it on purpose or did it to manipulate their viewers.

And if Fox news thinks it's audience are stupid,then I can only imagine what a network must think about it's own veiewrs that has to switch over to shows about life in prison and pedaphiles bcos nobody watches it. :P

FOX doesn't care if Media Matters busts them on stuff like this. Their viewers saw and heard what they wanted and that's all that counts.

Yup, they could care less about their mistakes or correcting them.

They got idiot nation tuned in.

So true! Oh, how this comment made me laugh...

And to comment on the topic. I personally think that there are many a "news" station that present "facts" that aren't quite true (i.e. embellished like the particular footage and stories mentioned in this thread), or that are presented with a particular slant or spin. I don't believe that it's only Faux News. These big news stations are owned by big money. Big money usually has it's own political agenda and that tends to trickle down. Journalistic integrity has been going into the toilet because these big money stations hand down the do's and don'ts to thier journalistis and expect them to print the story the way they want it told. So I suppose many journalists choose, or feel they have no other option other than to do what the poeple who pay them tell them to do. Plus, look what can be done to photos/video footage in order to bend and shape them into whatever they are required to be...

All in all, it's up the the viewer to be smart enough to not take everything the TV/internet news tells them at face value. News is a business after all, and business is all about the bottom line--the almighty dollar.

Well said :thumbup:

Why would you expect someone else to buy it for you?

you're priorites are all twisted .


this is how fucked up you are,


you're ok with murder and rape and pillage and misery and brutality and oppression, but when it comes to me seeing a doctor you're against it.



the selfish they're all standing in line....


you're right there with them


the wealthy are wealthy because of the working class. there is no country to run if the working class stops working, the USA ceases to exist. all the positions of privilege and luxury mean shit without the working class. its an easy concept but i doubt you'll understand... so if some of their taxes go into a fund that allows us access to healthcare, its not even half of what is due.


you realize we could have 20 hour workweeks, 6 weeks paid vacation, unlimited unempoloyment benefits, job security, helathcare etc.....all of that, AND make more per week than we are now.


but its because of the selfish and the greedy, people just like you, that don't mind spending so much on weapons and murder, and get up in arms when any of our taxes are to be spent on the people. you are perpetuating a system that caters to the elite, leaves the majority to rot, and is only getting more extreme.

us 47 million without insurance pay taxes too. i'd rather the money was spent saving lives, not taking them. that's the difference between us.

Outstanding Commy - 10/10.


Just reading through this thread for the first time now. Some very interesting posts.

I count four times now. And your choice of the words 'screwed up' is a misnomer. There was never any 'screw-up'. You don't accidentally splice together 3 year old footage of a big public rally with a current news report, just as you don't - in the slippery parlance of George W Bush & Tony Blair - make the 'mistake' of invading and ransacking a sovereign nation.

Stewart admits he was misinformed and apologizes. He also reports on some other info politifact research.
