For the second time in just over a week, Fox News is coming under fire for
misusing old news footage. The latest flap is leading some people to charge that
the cable news network is intentionally misleading its audience, while Fox
claims a "production error."
Wednesday's incident occurred 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.

[
During Fox News' coverage of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" kickoff Wednesday, host
Gregg Jarrett talked about the huge crowds the former Alaska governor and GOP
vice presidential candidate was drawing on the road.
The show, "Happening Now" aired in the afternoon, before the first signing took
place Wednesday night at the Woodland Mall Barnes & Noble in Kentwood. He
claimed Palin was "continuing to draw huge crowds" on her promotional tour,
which is a weird enough thing to say before said tour has even officially kicked
off.
But, as Think Progress points out, the footage used over the report is actually
from the 2008 presidential campaign. Doesn't look much like Woodland Mall,
anyway. You can even see McCain-Palin signs:

How many of those "real problems" DIDN'T start
under the last president?
That would require that I watch Fox News
That is also true of many others that you claim "Fox News blatantly lies to
you "
Since I don't even have cable, that means that you need to come up with
another "Typical Wingnut dodge" projection

Or your hatred of Fox News, or giving people a choice to watch some
right-wing "news" to counter the left-wing "news."
Just another case of BDS!
Your lameness know no bounds.
There is a distinct difference between outright lies and bias.
Fox "News" blatantly lies to it's sheeple audience because it is what
the trailer park crowd want to hear.

Actually I agree that the Democrats are incapable of governing according
to the principles of our Constitution. What I am unwilling to do at this
point is to undermine Obama. Not until the economic crisis is resolved
one way or the other.
I do see the dangers of socialism and do not like them. I also
understand that a disintegrating federal government is an even bigger
danger. Perhaps you've not experienced a society in civil war and non-
functional central government. That is even worse that what we now have.
The economy is Obama's Dan Quayle.
> All of them started under Bush.
Close, Bush inherited many of these problems when they were infants
however his policies and actions brought them to fruition.
> Now then. What's Obama planning to do with the mess he inherited and
> when do you suppose he will start?
That is the real issue, how do we get out of this quagmire. We disagree
that Obama has done nothing. The economic disintegration was halted and
markets are stabilizing. This may be a temporary situation as the
fundamentals haven't change much however the use of shock therapy carries
its own dangers.
For instance allowing BofA, Chase, AIG and Goldman to collapse would have
made 1931 look like a walk in the park. There were no good options, this
situation will take decades to repair and I still have hopes that those
who are "too big to fail" will be broken up and those who have been
terribly mismanaged will be allowed to fail.

We disagree. Obama is being true to his election promises even if he's
altered course on some issues or changed his mind on others. America is
getting what it voted for. Neither of us like what America voted for but
don't mischaracterize actions taken as "nothing."

Indeed. A president who does nothing as unemployment
soars to new levels in his first year in office even as
a recession he inherited deepens is well described as
a failure.
Unless, of course, his last name is REAGAN.......
"The unemployment rate in the U.S. reached 10.8% in
December 1982 � higher than at any time in post-war era.
Job cutbacks were particularly severe in housing, steel
and automobiles. By September 1982, the jobless rate
reached 10.8%. Twelve million people were unemployed,
an increase of 4.2 million people since July 1981.
Unemployment rates for every major group reached post-
war highs, with men age 20 and over particularly hard hit."

If your are talking about "radical socialist" Obama
and his habit of appointing Republicans, boosting military
spending, playing world policeman, enforcing the War on Drugs
and kicking gays out of the military then you have point.
More dodgy lameness.
If the website is bogus then it should be easy to refute the content,
right?
Still waiting for any one of you wingbags to address the Fox News lies
in the articles.

Well, let's see. About 6 weeks ago, probably more I posted replies from 2 of
the companies that were "boycotting" Fox. It was news to them that they were
boycotting Fox.
And frankly I do try to stay away from hate websites.
And that refutes Fox's Lies how?

Ok since you are apparently to dense to get it, I don't buy the premise that
Fox is deliberately lieing about everything, everyday. I've eatched to many
"news" shows, read to many "news" magazines and papers over the last 20 years
to believe anything you baboons spit out.
Errors are one thing. "Deliberate lies". Nope, you've haven't provided an
ounce of proof and therefore no rebuttal is needed or forthcoming.
Nobody asked you to respond. If you can't handle it just kill file me
and get lost.
Not one winger has yet to even attempt to refute my "proof".
All I asked for was anyone to rebutt any one of the articles and all I
get is more typical wingnut dodge, drivel and insipidity.
Rather than confront the topic you dodge stating that since you don't
buy it, the request isn't valid.
Horseshit. Who the fuck are you and who cares what YOU think?
EithersStop being a bunch of pussies and REFUTE the Fox lies if you
can or admit the truth that you cannot. (laff)
Two wars, a great recession, a near collapse of the banking system, and
you're bitching that Obama hasn't fixed them all yet. He is a capable
guy but he's not superman. It took Bush several years to create this
mess. The least you can do is give Obama a few years before declaring
him a failure.
Hawke
What you will also find if you go back and look at the records is that
at that time Reagan was not very popular either. His numbers were low as
was the economy. His popularity went way up. Guess when? When the
economy got going again then he became a popular president. If Obama is
lucky enough to get this mess fixed when things turn around his
popularity will skyrocket. But with 10% unemployment anybody's
popularity is going to suffer.
Hawke
No, it sucks to be you, the old, unemployed, broke, mired in debt,
deadbeat, that lives in Taft. Everybody wants to be just like you, Ha Ha Ha.
Hawke
What would you have him do that he isn't already doing? He's spending
money to try to stimulate the economy. What more should he be doing? You
need to read some economics. A president can only do so much to make the
economy work. He's doing everything he can right now. If you have some
new ideas that that professional economists have never thought of you
should contact Washington. I'm sure they would be glad to get your insight.
Hawke
> Two wars, a great recession, a near collapse of the banking system, and
> you're bitching that Obama hasn't fixed them all yet.
lol, Obama has pushed it even worse!! Deficit spending in first 100
days dwarfs that of Bush's 8 years or all other presidents combined for
that matter. He campaigned saying he would not raise taxes for 95% of
the workforce. Yet, this current health bill has 17 new taxes and
increases in many more that will hit just about everyone. Obama said he
could stop inflation at 8% if he got his way. He did and unemployment
is now near 10% and rising. His excuse? Obama blames his failures on
Bush. Our own president cops out on his own words. Thats not strength,
thats not leadership. But it is a typical liberal who wont take
responsibility for his own words nor actions.
> What would you have him do that he isn't already doing? He's spending
> money to try to stimulate the economy.
No he isn't. Most of the billions in porkulus money won't be spent for
years to come. Only about 10% has been spent so far. Obama said it
needed to be spent immediately for infrastructure building to put people
to work. Fact is, such projects won't even start planning for some time
to come.
I'm afraid your logic is lost on the wingnut faithful.
Republicons and their paranoid followers cannot learn from or admit to
the mistakes.
They will simply hate Obama no matter what he does or stands for.
It is the last and sole purpose of the dying GOP.
The utter gaul of course being they have the audacity to blame him for
their mess and whine that he's not cleaning it up fast enough.
I think a lot of businesses have recently gotten rid of deadwood that they
should have fired years ago. Tired, cranky know it alls that spend a good
portion of the day bitching instead of working. After they get rid of these
goldbricks, they find production doesn't really suffer.
> They will simply hate Obama no matter what he does or stands for.
Democrats and liberals hated anything Bush was for and they seem to be
for anything Obama tells them is good for them and against anything
Obama tells them to be against. Whats your point?
So if the roles were reversed, you dont think Bush would have to spend money
on fixing the shit he got handed?
Man you are totally brainless.
This is simply illogical and untrue.
Many Democrats are at odds with Obama's policies and are quite vocal
about it.
Republicons and the drooling wingnut faithful oppose for the sake of
opposition with no constructive alternatives to offer.
Their only goal is Obama's failure, even if it means America fails in
the process.

It's nice to see someone so dedicated to thier cause even if it is dishonest.
I am not denying there are incorrect statements like have been made numerous
times on all networks.
I am not agreeing with the premise that the are deliberate lies, though. And
absent an ability to read the minds of the people at Fox or some legal
finding I find it hard to believe you can make such an absolute statement and
defend it absent any supporting material.
Because the idea that only Fox lies and that the other networks don't is
ludicrous on it's face. And the kind of position offered by a full out
fanatic. Or perhaps an operative of the power structure trying to discredit
dissenters.
Where is the dishonesty in my statements?
Did I claim that only Fox was capable of malfeasance?
The point was Fox News specifically distorts the truth in earnest.
I provided clear examples of those lies.
You are again simply dodging the claim by pointing at other networks.
Reality is not negotiable.
Fox news at best is then completely incompetent and at worst outright
lies to its audience.
Either way their representation of the "truth" is severely distorted.

Use some common sense if you have any.
What constitutes a deliberate lie in your worldview?
How egregious does the transgression have to be before you call a
spade a spade?
I laid out information showing how Fox lies and asked anyone to refute
it.
If the infomation is so dodgy, then refuting it should be easy.
Nobody can.

Again, who brought up other networks? This is yet another dodge to
remove focus from the point.
All things being equal what is more likely?
That Fox News at best distorts the truth or I am complicit in some
vast lefty conspiracy to discredit a noble News organization and
squash "dissent"
You are starting to sound like one of those Tin Hat sheeple conspiracy
theory kooks.
And again, no repudiation of the charges.

Let's test your version of the word lie.
Did Dan Rather lie about Bush?
Did Bill clinton lie when he said "I did not have sex with that women"?
Did Obama lie when he said he would have the most transparent administration
ever?

Oh, oh, i know the anmswer to that one. He's gonna hold an unemployment

Yes, he clearly distorted the truth.
This does not change the fact that Dubya was clearly a privleged
chickenhaw.

He used the same dodge Fox News uses to rationalize their Lies.
Not exactly lying, but not quite the truth either.
(oops, we showed the wrong video again, bad production team!)

Nope. But you will say he did anyway.
So I will now assume that since you consider these "lies" bad, you
will agree that Fox News lies are equally wrong, right?
My turn.
What would you consider the more egregious lie?
WMD and thousands of Dead Americans or a blowjob in the Oval?
I am sure you will rationalize it however you need to, but the reality
will not change.
Oh, and I still contend that Fox News lies like a rug.
Does anyone have the balls to try and tell me how I am wrong?
Don't bother. You can't.

Again, i don't buy the premise. There were WMDs. Some were found and now

Will there be anything else?

You just can't help yourself, can you? What Bush dod has nothing to do with
what Rather did. Rather lied using obviously forged documents.
So let me ask you: How many Mach Plus, nuclear capable interceptors are you
rated for and how many hours have you done? There is not a damn thing
dishonorable about serving in the Air National Guard. Bush clearly made more
of a commitment to service the clinton, who LIED to his draft board and then
dissappeared overseas.
So while you are disparaging GWB for having put the time in and dedicating
himself to something I would have killed to do Bill Clinton was draft evading
to foreign countries.
Lesse, draft evasion or Air National Guard, learning to fly jet interceptors.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Which is why you troglodytes can never, ever be taken seriosuly.

Bull. They blindly support ANY health care proposal from Obamas camp.
They blindly supported the porkulus package. Yes, there are a few in
congress that are at odds on some minor issues but guess what, they keep
voting the way Obama wants anyways. None the less, I'm talking about
the electorate. They aren't vocal against any major policy of Obamas.

BULL! They oppose a public option plain and simple. There are several
Republican health care bills but you'll never hear about them much
because the Democrats won't even allow any floor discussion. The
Democrats 'transparancy' declaration is a hoax. The current health care
bill was entirely written behind closed doors with ZERO Republicans
allowed.
You seem to be telling me that I need to support Obama just because he
tells me too. Sorry, I disagreed with Bush's TARP and disagree with
Obamas porkulus. I disagree with a public option no matter who proposes
it. The Democrats and their 'we won so bend over' attitude is disgusting.
Because you say so?? Cite?
>
> Will there be anything else?
>
Yes, stop changing the subject and refute the fact that Fox News Lies
if you can.
While Rather was indeed guilty of sloppy reporting, facts are still
facts.
Bush clearly evaded the draft by using his father's connections to
unethically gain advantage over other people. Then he disobeyed orders
and went AWOL and used his father's connections to escape criminal
prosecution. His main opponents for the presidency volunteered to
serve in Vietnam and had exemplary military records. Bush didn't have
the courage to fight in the war, but didn't hesitate to send American
troops to serve multiple tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, even
when their commitments were over.
Dubya used his family connections to get into the Air National Guard
and then "deserted" his post for two years, but still got an
"Honorable Discharge". Disgusting.
So even if Clinton did dodge the draft, does that make Dubya's crimes
any less egregious?
Your double standard is quite ridiculous.
Now back to the REAL subject.

They are quite content to let the current system run us all into the

Let's sum up with a little common sence:
You defend several blatant misrepresentations of the truth as
"mistakes"
Sure, everyone makes mistakes, but how many mistakes constitutes a
pattern?
So would you say Fox News is Lying or is utterly inept at reporting
the news given how many "mistakes" they make?
In either case, they cannot be trusted to report the "news" with any
clarity.
Your accusation does not ake it a fact. There are no "facts" to refute.

I'm sorry i think you missed the 5 years in which GWB learned t ofly an F-
102, qualified and then flew. You apparently also missed that ANG F0192 units
were sent to Vietnam. And you apparently also missed that the Texas ANG was
transitioning to F-101s, that the traininbg was going to take about a year,
that Bush only had about year left and didn't intend to stay in and gave up
his position so that a pilot who was going to be in could get the training
slot.

What lies?
There were a whole slew that started under the three Presidents before
him, and a bunch that started under the three Presidents before that, etc.
Few Presidents (any?) are willing to buck the Republican way of dealing
with international affairs: bomb the hell out of 'em, which always
leaves more problems at the end of a Presidency than there were before,
and solves as close to zero as it is possible...
Dan
Gee and I always thought the narrative was that FDR had to drag the
isolatioist Republicans into WWII kicking and screaming. Thanks for clearing
that up.
Leftards do seem to have a hard time keeping their lies straight.
Snicker.
And your head in the sand does not make their lies go away.
I'll make it easy for you:
FACT: Fox News, by their own admission (getting caught) has repeatedly
used the wrong crowd footage and misrepresent the actual crowd size at
certain events.
One of two things is true. They are really that inept that they keep
making this mistake over and over.
(Funny how the crowd size is always BIGGER and never smaller when they
use the "wrong" video)
OR
They deliberately misrepresented the facts.
Either way they 100% can't be trusted to give accurate information.
Ok, refute it or give up.

Leftist Blood-Curdling Scream Alert: CMPA Reports That Fox IS Fair and
Balanced
Photo of Tom Blumer.
By Tom Blumer (Bio | Archive)
November 17, 2009 - 14:46 ET
Leftists including those in the White House who presumptively and obsessively
attack Fox News will not be pleased with this.
At Forbes (HT Hot Air Headlines), S. Robert Lichter of George Mason
University's Center for Media and Public Affairs, asks the question, "Fox
News: Fair And Balanced?" -- and answers in the affirmative. In the process,
the GMU Professor of Communications also makes a number of interesting points
about Fox's competitors, discusses the convergence of news and analysis, and
provides useful historical context.
Using a methodology that would be difficult to refute, Lichter's work
relating to campaign 2008 is in sync with what CMPA found in late 2007 (noted
at the time at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog) during the opening stages of the
presidential campaign.
Here are key paragraphs from Lichter's commentary (bolds are mine):
Story Continues Below Ad ?
Fox News has become embroiled in a nasty controversy over its ill
treatment of President Obama. But are the charges true?
What if I told you that Fox gave Obama his worst press and John McCain
his best press of any network during last year's presidential election? If
you work for the White House, you'd probably take this as proof that Fox is
just a mouthpiece for the opposition. Now what if I told you that Fox had the
most balanced coverage of any network during the same campaign? If you work
for Fox, you'd probably say we told you so.
But what if I told you that both scenarios are true?
While it seems unlikely, that conclusion is precisely the case, based on
an ongoing study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA). That both
these seemingly contradictory scenarios are true tells us something important
not only about the war between Fox and the White House, but about the
changing nature of television news in America.
.... The CMPA study compares ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows and the
first half hour of Fox News Channel's Special Report, which most closely
resembles its broadcast news counterparts.
.... So how could Fox have both the most balanced and the most anti-Obama
coverage? Simple. It's because the other networks were all so pro-Obama. CMPA
analyzed every soundbite by reporters and nonpartisan sources (excluding
representative of the political parties) that evaluated the candidates and
their policies. On the three broadcast networks combined, evaluations of
Obama were 68% positive and 32% negative, compared to the only 36% positive
and 64% negative evaluations of his GOP opponent John McCain.
In fact, Obama received the most favorable coverage CMPA has ever
recorded for any presidential candidate since we began tracking election news
coverage in 1988. The totals were very similar--within a few percentage
points--at all three networks. (These figures exclude comments on the
candidates' prospects in the campaign horse race, which obviously favored
Obama.)
Meanwhile, Fox's Special Report was dramatically tougher on Obama, with
only 36% favorable vs. 64% unfavorable evaluations during the same time
period. But McCain didn't fare much better, garnering only 40% favorable
comments vs. 60% negative ones. So the broadcast networks gave good marks to
one candidate and bad marks to another, while Fox was tough on both--and most
balanced overall.
Other points Lichter makes:
* The historical pattern during a president's first year in office is
that the establishment press tends to go negative. Lichter interestingly
asserts that all networks have done so this year, with the Big 3 nets
tallying 35% favorables for Obama vs. 27% for Fox on Special Report.
Lichter's take is that "Fox's coverage has gone from being the worst of all
to merely the worst among equals."
* The White House claim that Fox "really isn't a news organization" is
risible, given that in Special Report the channel at least runs "nightly news
modeled on the broadcast networks." MSNBC and CNN don't even try.
* Longtime NewsBusters and BizzyBlog readers will probably have a hard
time with the final sentence of this assertion -- "Obama differs from his
predecessors mainly in the false hopes generated by sometimes fawning
campaign coverage from jaded journalists who temporarily let themselves get
carried away by his eloquence and the historic nature of his candidacy. When
politics returned to normal, their coverage returned to form." I definitely
disagree, especially if you include the Big 3's morning shows, which attempt
to position themselves as every bit as objective as their evening news
counterparts. But if anything, they're worse. Perhaps a gravitation back to
the norm has begun more recently, as the continued decay in the economy as
people are experiencing it and the awful results of the administration's
attempts to do something about it become ever more obvious.
Leftists who will predictably howl that CMPA is conservatively biased
(because SourceWatch says so, as if that proves anything beyond paranoia) are
going to have to explain what is wrong with CMPA's scorekeeping methodology,
which appears to be relatively immune from partisan slant, even if one had
that as an objective. In any event, the footage is out there, and they are
free to try to replicate and poke holes in what CMPA did any time. I bet they
won't; whining is so much easier.

> Minor issues like Abortion, the public option, the War in
> Afghanistan...
Well lesse here. Obama has not dodged the abortion issue with
statements such as this:
"Whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or a
scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity is
above my pay grade."
Obama like many before him from both parties dodge the issue because
they know any direct answer will alienate a ton of voters. I myself am
pro-choice. That put me at odds with Bush and McCain. Does that mean I
should blindly support Obama?
Obama wants the public option big time. Thats what he has asked for and
thats whats being pushed. However, its also true that he will accept
most any health care reform bill. Why? Because the content doesn't
matter. Any reform that passes is a win to him since he campaigned
saying he would get reform in his first year. The public option is
certainly his choice.
War in Afghanistan? The Democrats want out. Obama has refused to make
any decision in 10 months in office. He certainly hasn't sent more
troops in and made public statements that troops cost too much. His
views are right in line with the liberal left electorate.
> Can you think for yourself? Are you a birther?
> I'll bet you a million bucks you are.
You owe me a million bucks. Send me your address and I'll have someone
stop by and pick it up. I can't stand Obama but he probably was born in
Hawaii and grew up in Kenya. There really should not be a question. I
feel when a person applies to become a candidate he/she should show
proof of eligibility. Nonetheless, Obama followed all current
requirements. Pay up.
> Why shouldn't the be shut out then if they have nothing to offer but

lol, in otherwords if they disagree with the public option foundation
then they should not be allowed into the room. Nice. Good grief.

With the public option the American people become enslaved to the power
and corruptness of their own Government. Sorry but our Government has
not done well to run anything and you wish to give them even more power.
> So what would you do? Let the entire system collapse?
Nope, we need private health care reform. Have no need for a public
option that does little to solve the problem of rising costs. It only
transfers those costs.
> If idiots like you were running things we would have privatized Social
> Security before the housing bust.
Nope. Should faze out SS. It's a pyramid scheme that can not sustain
itself but does enslave and oppress those dependent on it.

See you in 2010 and 2012!!

> on fixing the shit he got handed?
Nope. Spending isn't fixing a thing. Only about 10% of the porkulus
package has been spent and most won't be spent for years to come. The
idea of all this infrastructure building to provide jobs is a hoax that
you bought. Heck, the Government can't even tell us where the 10% has
been spent yet. Congressional districts in Virgin Islands and Puerto
Rico got stimulus money????????

Unemployment rose under Reagan for TWO YEARS.
Where was your talk about "failed presidency" then?
Modern Conservative: Someone who ignored unemployment
as it rose under Reagan, as it rose under Bush, as it
shrank under Clinton, as it rose under Bush, and who
now suddenly pretends to care about unemployment.
