We Photoshop, You Decide: Fox ‘News’ Reaches New New Low…

Share article:

Just when you think they couldn’t be more deceptive and/or dishonest, Fox “News” continues to find impressive new ways to lower the bar.

Here’s just a bit of the latest idiocy — the photos used during their attack story on New York Times reporters, along with the original photos which they doctored — from the “news” outlet which is apparently now being run by 13-year olds with Photoshop…

Media Matters has the full, shameful story…

    OH MY GOD!

    Watch what happens when McCain comes back from Colombia with the just released hostages on his new jet with his name painted on the side!!!

    Was this the most obviously set-up photo-op in history, or what?

    I just watched Joe Scarborough and guests on MSNBC rail against McCain for taking his campaign to Bogota – mocking him for doing so. It’s frickin obvious why he did now. It was ALL prearranged.

    How Effin disingenuous is this?

    If Obama doesn’t totally call him on it, he’s part of the machine that is enabling it. McCain will counter that he’s a conspiracy theorist, but it’s time to give the conspiracy theorists their due. THEY’VE BEEN RIGHT! IT IS A CONSPIRACY.

    UNBELIEVABLE!

    Karl Rove set up this entire McCain/Colombia Made-For-CNN charade for McCain’s political benefit.

    ONLY Karl Rove could have conceived of this stunt. Count on the fact this is targeted at the Hispanic voters in America, who are watching on Spanish language TV.

    Rove is absolutely running strategy for McCain, and Bush is 100% complicit for his manipulation of world events for McCain’s political advantage.

    A hostage release timed for political gain? Gee, which party perfected that?

    McCain just ran an ad on CNN at the conclusion of CNN’s Live Coverage of the release of the hostages in Bogata.

    Are you a coincidence theorist, or can you just admit that this entire government has been co-opted?

    This Colombia drama hits on the exact same day that his campaign announces a shake up (thereby burying it under the bigger news)?

    And now the hostages will be flown to San Antonio TEXAS?

    Karl, you are soooo damn obvious!

    Obama is a smart guy. He can’t be like Kerry – he has to know what he is up against – the neocon school of political corruption!

    …If no coke, I know for sure he took a few thousand more American jobs with him went he went down there.

    Maybe Hopsicker could help to strip the paint off of that plane and find out some history on it?, I know I would like to see what is under the top coat.

    It would seem to me that FOX has set itself up for a huge defamation of character suit. To picture someone in an intentionally altered and obviously distorted depiction HAS TO BE a crime. (lawyers please comment)

    The pictures use distorted features to express a faulted character or even deformed genetics and certainly a freakishness. The dark circles under the eyes, simian nose etc etc. An impartial jury would surely see the negative and vindictive intentions sought by FOX. A great case with huge publicity potential further exposing this criminal network for its propaganda and lies.
