ot: Fox Fake News is busted yet again
da pickle no spam
when Fox News host Gregg Jarrett mentioned that a Sarah Palin
appearance and book signing in Grand Rapids, Michigan had a massive
turnout. As footage rolled of a smiling and waving Palin amidst a
throng of fans, Jarrett noted that the former Republican vice-
presidential candidate is "continuing to draw huge crowds while she's
promoting her brand-new book,'' adding that the images being shown
were "some of the pictures just coming in to us.... The lines earlier
had formed this morning."
However, the video used in the segment was from a 2008 McCain/Palin
campaign rally. In response to the minor uproar that arose after clips
of Jarrett's report hit the Internet, Fox senior vice-president of
news Michael Clemente issued an initial statement saying, "This was a
production error in which the copy editor changed a script and didn't
alert the control room to update the video."
Do any morons here still want to stick up for Fake News?

Absolutely. Fox News is not infallible and they do make the occasional
mistake. On the other hand, they are the only news network that is not in
the tank for Obama. Which is why their view ratings consistently crush
CNN and MSNBC. If you want to see some really biased reporting just tune
in MSNBC. For example, the lame-stream press completely ignored the Van
Jones and ACORN corruption stories until they were embarrassed in to
reporting them because of Fox News coverage. The sad truth is that we now
live in a one party country that is being run by the crooked Chicago
Democrat political machine on a massively expanded scale. If you aren't
watching Fox News you will never see the truth about the current politics
in our country.

Obama has decided to send 40,000 additional troops to fight in the war
against Fox News.

It's interesting that these Fox News "mistakes" always seem to involve
inflating crowds for a right-wing hero (Palin) or a right-wing rally.
These "mistakes" never seem to cut the other way, as one would expect from
a "Fair and Balanced" network.
But I'm sure the next "mistake" will benefit a Democrat. That's just the
law of averages.

Its' not a mistake, Mike, it's intentional lying and slanting of the news.

Faux News is in the tank for Republicans, admit it.

No; first you have to admit FOX is "biased reporting."

Yet you just admitted they didn't show the truth. How about showing one
instance where FOX showed important news that other's didn't.
What amazes me is people like you continues to drink the FOX and GOP cool
aid and actually admit to it.

Also note the frequency with which Fox, when reporting on a Republican
caught in a scandal, will identify him onscreen with a "D" beside his
name-- until someone notices the "error"
...which was TOTALLY INADVERTENT

Does anyone ever notice that CNN (I know, pro-Obama) never slams the GOP
party like FOX singles out INDIVIDUALS in the DNC party and tries to bring
them down? One hour shows on FOX devoted to try and smear people. Unreal.

One of my favorite Fox mistakes is that whenever they cover a story about
an obscure crooked Republican they mistankenly identify him as a Democrat.

Yes, he really does.
I read that 52% of Republicans believe that the last election was stolen
for Obama by ACORN.

Well hopefully the "Saddam orchestrated 9-11" numbers have dropped below
that mark.

Well ACORN was charged with voter registration fraud in 13 states, and all
they register are Democrats. I believe they were charged with 400,000
fraudulent voter registrations in Ohio alone in 2008. ACORN was also
caught, on video tape, providing assistance to reporters posing and a pimp
and prostitute who wanted to bring under age illegal immigrant girls in to
this country to be sex slaves. Now I realize you left wing Democrats
don't see any thing wrong with this but we conservatives think that makes
ACORN a bunch of sleaze bag crooks.

Proud to be one of the 60,000,000 Americans who did not vote for Obama.

No, they were not.
They reported cases of fraud in 13 states.
And even if the cFox claims of ACORN fraud were true the number of claimed
fraudulant registrations is not even close to the margin of victory.

One good thing about Irish Mike's posts is he immediately starts out wrong.
It makes it easer to point out his errors and stupidity. Take the above
first sentence:
First, "charges" is not convicted.
Second, Registering is just that, registering. The employees got paid by the
number of names they got. Not what was 'registered.' The, Mickey Mouse,'
names never make it to registration, and obviously don't convert to votes.
Third; you can't just register Democrats. They obviously went to heavily
Democratic areas; but can't pick who registers; what party there in; and who
they eventually vote for.
And this is just IRISH MIKE'S first sentence.. Need more? (He's really
stupid).
