FOX "NEWS" Disgraces Itself Once Again |
|
|
Posted by SMAZ on Thu Nov 19 16:07:17 2009 Fox News again accused of airing misleading video 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: Yesterday we told you about Sarah Palin kicking off her book tour and then we spoke to Sean Hannity about an interview that he did with former Governor Palin. When introducing the segment we showed you footage of people lining up in Michigan for a book signing that evening. In the tease before the segment, the tease to commercial, we told you how those people were already lining up to meet Palin. The problem is we didn't show you the video we were actually referencing. Instead we mistakenly aired what's called "file tape" of Sarah Palin. We didn't mean to mislead anybody in that tease. It was a mistake, and for that we apologize. The current mishap comes on the heels of a controversy sparked last week when footage from a conservative rally held over the summer was played on "Hannity" during a segment on a more recent rally. During the clip, host Sean Hannity marveled over the large turnout for a Washington, DC protest. The Daily Show later pointed out that there seemed to be some inconsistencies with the video shown on Hannity's show, namely that the atmospheric conditions seemed to vary from shot to shot. Hannity later apologized on the air for what he called "an inadvertent mistake." Barely a week into Palins blitz to promote Going Rogue, media coverage is becoming its own story. Fox News rival MSNBC caught heat last week for using altered images of Sarah Palin on the air, for which they later apologized. On Wednesday, Yahoo! News reported Newsweeks defense of their latest controversial cover, which Palin herself blasted as sexist. -- Brett Michael Dykes is a contributor to the Yahoo! News Blog |

You of all people shouldn't talk about Nazis. I don't hear you talking about the oppression of gypsies in Europe.(Did they acknowledge their error like Fox did?) |

(Yes they did.)Funny thing is, when you do a Google search for this story, the first result is ThinkProgress.org. So much for unbiased search engines . . . |

The more people who link to, or click on a shiny object, the higher it goes in the listing. ThinkProgress.org is only at the top because the most lemmings went there for information. Where does germanforeignpolicy.com come in the rankings? |

This is about as big of a deal as WWF taping in Glens Falls in front of 3,000 then showing crowd shots from Nassau Coliseum in front of 15,000+.Going back to the days of Hannity and Colmes, we know Fox uses a wrestling format in many ways. |

In other television news;Oprah is ending her syndicated show in 2011. Would anyone like to bet $10,000 who her final guest(s) will be? Joy Behar's ratings are not good. This sucks, because I love her show, and hope that The View won't be the only way to see her. |

I dunno, I don't trust the press with numbers. They can't count that well ever since Lebanon and Gaza. |
