FoxNews does it again- Do they ever check their footage?

Fox News again accused of airing misleading video - Yahoo! News

For the second time in just over a week, Fox News is coming under fire for misusing old news footage. The latest flap is leading some people to charge that the cable news network is intentionally misleading its audience, while Fox claims a "production error."

Wednesday's incident occurred when Fox News host Gregg Jarrett mentioned that a Sarah Palin appearance and book signing in Grand Rapids, Michigan had a massive turnout. As footage rolled of a smiling and waving Palin amidst a throng of fans, Jarrett noted that the former Republican vice-presidential candidate is "continuing to draw huge crowds while she's promoting her brand-new book,'' adding that the images being shown were "some of the pictures just coming in to us.... The lines earlier had formed this morning."

However, the video used in the segment was from a 2008 McCain/Palin campaign rally. In response to the minor uproar that arose after clips of Jarrett's report hit the Internet, Fox senior vice-president of news Michael Clemente issued an initial statement saying, "This was a production error in which the copy editor changed a script and didn't alert the control room to update the video."

On Thursday afternoon, Fox News issued an on-air apology delivered by host Jane Skinner:

Let me guess, Faux News estimates there were 2 MILLION people at the book signing, right?

 

[Mr. Peepers]

Even better was Jon Stewart busting them for using earlier teabagger (that still makes me giggle) footage from 9/12 to boost the much smaller gathering for the health care protest. Nothing but partisan propaganda. They should no longer be allowed to call themselves a news source, but an entertainment/opinion show.

Did you read the story you linked to?

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – College students ditched class, employees skipped work and some huddled in the cold overnight just to make sure they get an orange wristband Wednesday that would let them meet Sarah Palin.
​

A line of more than a thousand people — some sporting Palin Power stickers and Palin T-shirts — moved slowly into a Barnes & Noble store Wednesday to see the former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor on the first stop of her "Going Rogue" book tour. During the hours they waited, some broke out in chants of "Palin! Palin! Palin!"
​

Scores more who couldn't get wristbands awaited Palin's arrival outside, braving the cold and yelling. "USA!" and "Sarah, Sarah!" at an event that took on the feel of a political pep rally.

As I said before, the FoxNews haters trying to score some points by pointing to a trivial mistake when there were actual crowds gathered at the book signing only serves to highlight their desperation.

However if this had been about Obama and a big turnout with a bogus picture the right would have been screaming in outrage about the liberal media.

I think it is hillarious.

 

[Mr. Peepers]

"Trivial mistake"? Twice in two weeks, the same "trivial mistake"? Really? Your brainwashing must be nearly complete, grasshopper. I would assume that most people in Michigan could not afford the book, hence the low turn out of only 1000 people, right?

 

[Jay Canuck]

more than a thousand!!! - go get em Sarah! - what do the t-shirts look like?

Mr. Canada does not read the links people send to him. He simply beleives what he hears and then sends things out for others to read.
Makes him look a bit silly if you ask me.

I would rather a news org that makes mistakes with footage than those that decide what news you should know about and what news you should not know about.

But that is me.

If the so called, “Liberal media” made this “mistake” with Obama, then it would be "proof" that Obama is a Fascist/Communist/Socialist/Elitist/Big Brother and gun sales would increase 400% in red states and Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity would both have coronaries on the same night.

Give me a break...did you see the clip?

Robert posted it in the Media Forum this morning.

Do you see MORE than 1000 people in that clip???

So what was the point of using the wrong clip (with an obvious teleprompter visible in it)?


There is none...And had it not been for FoxNews Derangement Syndrome, desperation and lack of medication, you all could have used common sense and hashed it out for yourselves.


Better luck next time.

Were there as many idiots as lined up for that last Star wars movie?

My God...I highly suggest you get out more.
You are regurgitating blog rhetoric.
You are embarrassing yourself.

 

[Mr. Peepers]

Well, I get my news from BBC, PBS News Hour / World Report and NPR, you know, those boring news outfits that don't spin or opine and just report the news as is? You don't see many of them doctoring footage, do you?
