Fox News “Apologizes”

In a March 16 post, I reported on a MediaMatters story on how Fox News blatantly manipulated video to make it conform to their conservative agenda. Caught with their pants down, they offered their version of an apology. See the video below.

The best line of the “apology” is undoubtedly this gem, “We inadvertently used a piece of video…” Yeah, right. Fox inadvertently used a 6 month old video clip and claimed it was 2 days old. And they inadvertently clipped it at just the precise place to make Joe Biden appear to say the exact opposite of what he was really saying. How laughable is that.

Fox News motto: We lie…you suck it in

    So. Let me get this straight. You honestly think they used this video snippet purposefully knowing full well it could easily be discredited?

    Perhaps your disdain is clouding your judgment?

    Anyway, they did. They apologized. What more do you want?

    So, let me get this straight. You honestly think that Fox News could somehow use a 6 month old clip and claim it was 2 days old…and not know? And you honestly think that the clip was magically clipped to make it appear that Biden was saying the exact opposite of what he was saying? Please.

    Perhaps your blind belief in Fox’s “fair and balanced” chant is clouding your judgement.

    BTW, Fox News is discredited EVERY single day. But hey, if you enjoy having your head filled with filtered and manipulated ‘news’, enjoy.

    You didn’t answer my question. No surprise there.

    That you guys fear them and so completely object to the existence of this ONE Media Outlet opposed to virtually every other outlet that is decidedly left leaning doesn’t speak well of you.

    Let me ask you another question you probably won’t answer either. Do you not find it odd that NO OTHER station receives the scrutiny FOX News does?

    And spare me all your Liberal Trash. Just try to answer the question.

  4. mario says:

    Easy question.

    No other ‘news’ station is so blatantly one-sided as Fox. Fox lies it’s way through the day. Fox has a list of clowns unparalleled in the world of cable news: Hannity, Doocy, Beck, O’Reilly, Cavuto, Hume…it goes on and on.

    Fox is to honest news reporting what rapists are to the art of lovemaking.

    Fox lies and is nothing more than the talking arm of the Republican party under the shallow guise of a news network.

    I hope that’s clear enough for you.

  5. catlover says:

    Are there honestly people out there who still don’t understand Fox’s single reason for existing?

  6. cix2012 says:

    That’s your opinion. FOX is also routinely the ratings leader in all categories so I would think based on that, you may be in a minority. Certainly not among like and single minded ideologues, but in the population as a whole.

    My country is faced with much more important issues. I’m not sure your rantings count for much in the big picture. Actually, I’m not sure your rantings count at all.

    You are way to biased and one sided to be credible.

  7. cix2012 says:

    Of course we understand. It is to provide an alternative to the Liberal pabulum spoon fed to and eagerly soaked up by the rest of the public.

    BTW…I was just kidding the other day. I really don’t hate cats. I was just making a point.
