You know what Fox “News” did last week. And of course, that they didn’t think such an egregious “error” merited either an apology or on-air correction.
Here’s what they’re doing this week, as according to Sinfonian at dKos…
And guess what? After all of last week’s craziness regarding their incessant labeling of Mark Foley as a Democrat, here’s what they put up while discussing the Rhode Island Senate race between Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D):
Yep, through Fox’s looking-glass, the Republican candidate now is the leader, Whitehouse!
I have no idea what, if anything, can be done about this now epidemic misuse of the Chyron graphics machine, but it’s really getting ridiculous. I mean, Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket, how many times are they going to pull this crap? And what can be done about it?
(Hat-tip to Des.)
Unreal !

hitler would be proud of fox for it’s Lies & Propaganda !
Hummm the ugly span is up 10 fold today . . .
Man, they must be really really scared there will be a lot of straight-ticket Dem voting this year.
Even if you’re a die-hard retard, how can you keep watching FOX News??? If you KNOW they’re lying, why would you keep watching FOX??? Do their viewers think, “Well, I know they’re lying to me, but I’m going to keep watching them. I don’t know why, but I’m going to keep watching them. I guess I like news that lies to me…I can’t really explain why I watch FOX…”
oh for Goodness Sakes,..
KKKarl Rove was moonlighting as a video/data entry clerk at Fox News to pick up some extra pocket change. What is the big deal here ? A simple mistake,.. human error. Haven’t you ever made a boo-boo ? The mislabeling of the candidate with the incorrect political party was not done on purpose. If it throws the election to the Republiconvict Party we will try and be more careful next time,.. most likely. Let’s not get our panties in a wad over nothing,.. GEESH !
REMEMBER VOTE – REPUBLICAN
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND PRESIDENT BUSH
SIEG HEIL
Is ANYONE except right wingnuts watching Crox??
I am dismayed also. I support this website completely, except for using Jesus name in vane. Please lets show respect for everyone here. Thanks.
These guys are something else. Time to work on shutting the propaganda machine down for good. They mislead, lie, and sexually assault their women work force. The FCC should shut it down. This net work is a danger to America.
#8 Im with you. Also isnt calling someone a republican these days a form of slander, sue em I say!
That’s their new strategy and they’re sticking to it, looks like.
Not to worry. Democrats and people who can think for themselves know who the Republican is.
It is the Republicans who are more likely to vote a straight party ticket, so this could backfire on them bigtime.
On the other hand, I may be wrong. The left gatekeeper sites are full of die-hard straight-ticket-voting Democrats who couldn’t care less who the candidate is, so long as there is a D next to their name.
I’m so sick of the two-party system that I’d really enjoy it if they self-destruct. The only way this could be an effective strategy, is if the polls and focus groups showed that most people can’t tell the Democrats from the Republicans except by the TV label, and will vote for anyone listed on their ballot as being a member of their party. If that’s the case, there can’t really be as much difference between them as they’d like us to think, so what difference does it make?

I suppose they are stealing name recognition, or trying to create it. Wish someone in the PR/ad business would come forward and write an article on this and any other kind of false advertising. Fox is a Republican advertiser after all. I suppose the PR firm running the Republican party thought this up. And I can hear the people at FOX tell them they’ll do anything to help. And this type of ad is free!
This was definitely done on purpose. Fox news’ success and their success in hyping up Republicans is based ENTIRELY on the notion that conservative politics are popular AND the norm. This is their message in everything they do; conservatives are the majority and have majority support from the public. They also know that many voters care more about voting for who is popular that who is the best candidate. After all, it’s easier to just assume that everyone else knows what is going on than to follow it all yourself.
This was done intentionally so that Fox can keep pushing the narative that Republicans represent the majority and are not only popular and representative of the mainstream…but that they are unstoppable as well.
Here’s a good one flying under the radar like a stealth bomber……….
October 5, 2006 — Tracy Henke, who President Bush recess-appointed to the post of Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Grants and Training, is resigning. Henke became infamous for cutting homeland security funds for New York City and Washington, DC while seeing to it that her native Missouri and Dick Cheney’s Wyoming received more than their share of homeland security money. Henke’s dishing out of huge grant and training money to Missouri at the expense of more vulnerable locations like New York City, New Jersey, and Washington, DC irritated some Homeland Security Department officials. The word is that many career officials in the department are happy to see Henke go.
Ironically, Henke, while a Deputy Associate Attorney General in the Justice Department, testified on June 9, 2005 before the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security on “Protecting Our Nation’s Children From Sexual Predators and Violent Criminals.”
Tracy Henke, a one-time Bush point person on sexual predators, resigns from Dept. of Homeland Security.
When will the Dems take a lesson from Rove ? Get lemons— make lemonade ! All these film clips of Reps shown as Dems… perfect for major ads. “They’re so bad they have to pretend to be a Dem. !” “Reps, why are you ASHAMED of your own party?” Best one “Reps can’t even be honest about the party they belong to.” You guys probable have even better ideas on turning this back on them. I’m e-mailing Tim Ryan and Howard Dean about this.
Forgot to add. A few good ads using this crap against them, see how fast they stop it !
Great lemonade Donna!
Time for Whitehouse to sue Fox for slander. They can use evidence of a pattern of slander with Foley (D).
This does not suprise me anymore.
I notice all kinds of dirty tricks on all the media channels lately. It’s all how they hack it up, edit, and present their opinions.
Again, I say, get in their faces, stick a poster in their faces, or if interviewed, change the topic, or even protest at their stations every day, write the stations management. Get em live, then they either have to run it or cut the feed completely.
Just yesterday October 9th, I was flipping through channels at 5:00 PM, on CBS CH 13 (Sacramento) had Sam (one of the anchors) say, “Nuclear Missile” when refering to the Korea explosion and then they panned to Brandi Hit who went and did the same thing. Then later Sam tries to back pedal and say Nuclear Device. However, you have to wonder how many people flipped the channel after hearing that crap, and Brandi Hit NEVER changed what she said.
Very interesting they make that assumption since experts at Lawrence Livermore Labs still say they don’t know for sure it was a nuke…Even if it was a nuke,
it was NOT A MISSILE!! It could have been TNT. They’re still “analyzing data.”
This sure makes me want to respect someone wearing a press pass now. NOT. What the hell does a press pass really mean anymore?
Hell, ART BELL reported this better than they did!
Art Bell is more accurate than CBS!
I haven’t watched faux in years – for this very reason. Back in 2004, they fabricated poll numbers, which were blatently incorrect. They haven’t changed!!!
