Fox News Caught Red-Handed Fixing News?

LittleRedsays...

Maybe it's just my computer acting strange, but when I get to -0:02, it goes back to -0:08 and repeats. Over and over and over. Conveniently, it's repeating the "Fox News should be heavily criticized for this. Please let people know.....Fox News should be heavily criticized for this. Please let people know."

It took 3 minutes to explain that? And yes, I'm sure that viewers of Fox would be shocked that they have a bias against Ron Paul, and deeply concerned that they're only hearing neo-con spin.

LittleRed, it's doing it for me as well.

Nah, there are a few youtube videos I've seen that have been having errors like that, no clue what it is, but usually it doesn't have a conveniently repeated message like this one, lol.

I call BS on this one, if you look at the actual page you'll see that the page is verbatim from the original story. Also, if you bother to use the way back machine(archive.org) you can see the story when it was first posted. I thought something was wrong when the guy says, "let me refresh it so that you see its not a mockup". But he hid the address bar so we couldn't see where the page was being hosted. Thankfully this one was easily busted. I don't particularly like fox news, but making up controversy just to get your candidate more publicity is wrong.

yeah, it says Ron Paul on the Fox website now, but from the comments there, I gather that it wasn't always that way. Apparently, AP released an earlier version of the same article which do not include Paul's name. Then they reissued it with the correction. You can see the original article here. Fox just didn't do the same until later.

I'm all for going after Fixed Noise, but you gotta actually have something. Trust me there are plenty of reasons that they shouldn't be regarded as a news source. Picky little things like this serve no real purpose.

Fox news is biased, but I honestly dont think this is the kind of thing they do, and this is generally not how self-censorship works, its more like a policy issue, deciding on what kind of focus they are gonna have, what KIND of stories they are running, and so forth, not deleting names in the middle of articles that nobody would have noticed anyway.(Except certain rabied fans, of course)

The real bias is much more subtle, its such that you cant REALLY attack anything , even if you are employed by Fox, they'll give you directions on what to cover and so on, and they'll of course only hire you to anchor if you fit the profile and so on, they'll favour guests politically etc.

I've have no problem with the subject of the video, but don't do something meaningless, like refresh the webpage, and then tell us that it proves you didn't alter it... that's just sloppy, and wastes our time.

CNN is way more biased than Fox News you pin-heads. Just because someone doesn't agree with you, it doesn't mean they are wrong. People that watch both netwoeks should broaden their circle fo friends so they can be challenged on some of the BS they heap on others.

Editing newswire stories is not unusual at all. I don't know if Fox is anti-Ron Paul, but since he isn't really a "player" (polling very low), they are likely to ignore him as much as possible unless he can make for some amusement or have nekkid chicks at a meeting. I like a lot of what Ron Paul has to say, and I think Fox is a propaganda machine, but this is just BS. If they are going to be dredging up dirt, at least dredge up something plausible and decent. This kind of crap does more harm then good.
