Faux News has to apologize again

[Popeye]

For the second time in about week, Faux News had to apologize for recycling old file footage. This time, to make it seem as if Sarah Palin was getting huge turnouts on her book tour, they went and showed film taken during campaign rallies of last year.

In their apology Faux claimed it was a mistake but isn't that what they said when Jon Stewart nailed them? Why would anyone take this network seriously?

Good catch Popeye!

To those like us who are well informed and involved we know that FIXED NEWS is little more than a political action committee for the Republicants.

They keep it somewhat thinly veiled so that when nonpolitical types or even Independents run across their stations that spokesperson for the GOP fact doesn't hit them square in the face.

The good news is that FIXED has been fronted out so much now that their Republicant allegiance is pretty common knowledge.

Funny how none of the "good for america" crowd are here to respond isn't it???????????????

That ***** is a wack job and no one cares about her sorry ass life and the lies she spreads. she's old news, even members of the republican party scoff at the idea of her EVER having a political life again, except of course maybe the Wasilla PTA which only has 2 members anyhow......but Levi is making money off her. Maybe we'll see her on Jerry Springer next year Boxing Levi........

oh yeah, what happened to "one of the best selling books of all time" that we heard last month from always and asur??????????

MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan Apologizes for Using Faked Photos of Sarah Palin

MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan apologized on Monday for using photoshopped images of Sarah Palin firing a gun while wearing a bikini. The pictures, which were first brought to light on NewsBusters, appeared during a November 13 segment on the former governor and also included a doctored photo of the Republican in a black mini-skirt.

The Morning Meeting host explained, "I want to apologize to Governor Palin and all of our viewers. On Friday, in a very misguided attempt to have some fun in advance of Sarah Palin's upcoming book Going Rogue, our staff mistakenly used some clearly photoshopped images of Ms. Palin without any acknowledgment."

Calling the use of such faked images "unacceptable," Ratigan continued: "We should have never used those photos in the first place and you can rest assured we spent the weekend and Friday afternoon taking measures to make sure it will never happen again. I apologize."

Fox used file footage of Palin, MSLSD used fabricated photos of Palin.

Forty percent of Americans describe their political views as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 20% as liberal.

'The squeaky wheel gets the grease'
Idiom: When people say that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, they mean that the person who complains or protests the loudest attracts attention.

The Radical Left is the squeakiest wheel in America.

It is amazing how she has decided cannibalizing her own friends & Party is the smart way to go.



I think the same thing happened when she didn't win the Miss Wasilla crown.

The difference is that FIXED (FOX) used footage that they knew wasn't of the correct time period to try and inflate the crowd size.

The MSNBC guy used pictures that he pulled from the web that ended up had been photo shopped. Let's be honest a picture of Sarah Palin in a red, white & blue bikini posing with a gun is not something that would really draw a red flag. I think most everybody mistook them for real until she came out and said that they weren't.

In fact when I saw them on youtube (I'll post) I thought man she'd do anything to look patriotic and gun loving. Never thought they were photo shopped. Looks like an honest mistake.

Everyone can decide on their own.

I am shocked that PMSNBC would apologize for anything they do, its not like the few that watch the channel would care if they were right or wrong or if there were mistakes made as long as it was something to bash republicans/conservatives.

Translation: "Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

"Yesterday we told you about Sarah Palin kicking off her book tour and then we spoke to Sean Hannity about an interview that he did with former Governor Palin," Jane Skinner told viewers. "When introducing the segment we showed you footage of people lining up in Michigan for a book signing that evening. In the tease before the segment, the tease to commercial, we told you how those people were already lining up to meet Palin. The problem is we didn't show you the video we were actually referencing. Instead we mistakenly aired what's called "file tape" of Sarah Palin. We didn't mean to mislead anybody in that tease. It was a mistake, and for that we apologize."

MSLSD's Dylan Ritigan: "I want to apologize to Governor Palin and all of our viewers. On Friday, in a very misguided attempt to have some fun in advance of Sarah Palin's upcoming book Going Rogue, our staff mistakenly used some clearly photoshopped images of Ms. Palin without any acknowledgment."

Both claim it was a mistake but the Radical Leftists see any mistakes made by FOX as some grand Right Wing Conspiracy.

MSNBC did not do the same damn thing last week though did they? nope...and Fox has a long history of this stuff...like the Republicans in trouble, thus labled as Dems...and not just a few times as has been posted on here...are they dumb or bias? you pick regardless they suck. ( and both is also a option)

Why do we care so much about Sarah Palin? Is she running for office or something?

I wouldn't vote for her for president, but still wish her well with her book deal. After all of the crap she took as a candidate for VP, she deserves to have something go right, doesn't she?

As for Fox and MSNBC, let's not take at face value anything that they broadcast.

so becuse she was a train wreck and so far over hear head,....she deserves something? No to make it simple , No

Because she dared to run for national office, she deserves all of the attacks that have been made on her?

No wonder few in their right minds dare to run for national office.

A candidate has to be very brave, or very foolish, to put him/herself through what it takes to run for office.

We might get better candidates if campaigns didn't get so personal.

I am curious what specific examples make her an idiot in your view?
