Fox Doctors Obama's "Silver Spoon" Remarks

[Truthseeker420]

When President Obama spoke at Lorain County Community College in Elyria, Ohio, on Wednesday, he said, "I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth." But when Fox News host Steve Doocy repeated it on Fox & Friends to Mitt Romney, it was a false version: "Unlike some people, I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth." Updated with correction.

The first three words, "unlike some people," are a complete fabrication. President Obama never said them or anything like them. The difference is very significant, as it is much easier to interpret the fabricated quote as a deliberate mockery of Romney.

What happened next? The Washington Post reported the story without noting Doocy's fabrication and put his words directly into the mouth of President Obama:

Even worse, the New York Post - a sister media outlet to Fox News - devoted one of its two Friday editorials to slamming Obama for taunting Romney -- based on the false quote:

Apparently, there's been a rash of 'doctoring' lately. NBC doctors Zimmerman tape:

NBC issues apology on Zimmerman tape screw-up - Erik Wemple - The Washington Post

Fox News' Steve Doocy Draws Criticism For Misquoting Obama 'Silver Spoon' Remark

Nobody cares that fux lied about this. they lie every day and we never even notice anymore. its expected because we all know they aren't a true "news" outlet. They are the propaganda arm of the GObP/pubs so they're just doing their jobs. There will be a tiny bit of fuss and things will just go back to their lying normal.
