Fox is learning from the master.

At least Moore doesn't pretend to be something he's not.

Fox News deceptively cropped video of a 2008 campaign speech to falsely suggest that President Obama is acting hypocritically in reportedly supporting an assault weapons ban.

During the January 7 edition of America's Newsroom, anchor Bill Hemmer claimed that a report that the White House is considering a comprehensive gun violence prevention package, which includes reinstituting the assault weapons ban, "comes in stark contrast to President Obama's position back in 2008, when candidate Obama promised that he would protect the rights of all gun owners." After airing a clip of Obama telling a campaign audience that he believes in the Second Amendment and won't confiscate firearms, Hemmer said that those were comments Obama made when he "was trying to get elected":
 
MOORE, the same guy that is a HUGE gun-control, and his security guard got arrested for a gun? LOL

Even with the editing, Hemmer still has it all wrong.

Obama said he is not going to take our guns away. Hemmer is claiming Obama is breaking that promise.

Someone should point out to the dipshit that even now Obama is not coming for our guns.

He is trying to stop us from being able to buy certain weapons, but he is not trying to take the ones we have.

Just how retarded do you have to be to work at Fox News?
 
Faux? Selectively editing a speech and the using that clip as the basis for perpetrating a false narrative? Say it isn't so.......

SOP bother, SOP
 
Gotta love the Saudi/Aussie Network.

:lol:

Pioneering Arab broadcaster Al Jazeera has acquired Current TV, and will use the network's wider distribution avenues to launch a new U.S.-based channel.

The takeover will provide Al Jazeera with access to millions of U.S. households, a lucrative market the Qatar-based broadcaster has long coveted. The deal also means the end of Current, the low-rated channel co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore.

Al Jazeera buys Current TV - Jan. 3, 2013

How can FOX compete with this, Comrade?

Another freaking tax exempt Media Matters scoop? It's ironic that half a dozen tax exempt left wing propaganda networks are in the business of cropping videos and cherry picking statements and they never stop whining about Fox.
