FOX runs an apology about Jefferson/Conyers Footage

[jtphotoguy]

Gretta's career started with her coverage of the O. J. Simpson trial for Court TV. Hardly qualifies her as a national TV journalist!

Even with all her plastic surgery, you can see a pathetic "want to be" hiding behind that empty head. She's perfect for FOX Knews!

[ichbingott4510]

Wow; i sensed the heart-felt appology all the way here.

FUQ YOU, FOX!! IF YOU ASSIST IN HELPING ANYONE OTHER THAN WHO THE PEOPLE CHOOSE WIN THE PRESIDENCY, YOU WILL HAVE STARTED A CIVIL WAR.

RON PAUL '08 !!!!

[ljtuba]

FOX often claims itself to be fair and balanced. HA that's almost funny as actually believing Bush graduated from college!

[viktorj85]

"According to financial disclosure forms, he was paid $205,298 in 2001; $162,392 in 2002; $178,437 in 2003; and $194,852 in 2004."

[viktorj85]

lol good point.

[billbacon]

@lt5lee

Sounds like you voted for Bush.

[viktorj85]

It was Dick Cheney, as defense secretary in 1992, who spearheaded the movement to privatize most of the military's civil logistics activities. Under the direction of Secretary Cheney, the Pentagon paid $9 million to Halliburton's subsidiary, KBR, to conduct a study to determine whether private companies like itself should handle all of the military's civil logistics. kootos cheny and lee ur a fucking fraud

[demliars]

Everything should be privatized. Everything government does costs too much and makes matters worse so they can ask for more money. It serves itself. Government is a job club for it's employees under the guise of being there to help.

Government is the reason health care is screwed up, so what's the solution? Government takeover. Department of education created in the 70's. Education significantly worse since then, solution? We need to spend more money.

[viktorj85]

Guy did you read the article stating osama was sick in the hospital in july of 200 and was visited by american and saudi special ops of some kind.

[billbacon]

Don't pay attention to lt5lee. I'm sure there's a reason he has comments disabled on his profile.

[viktorj85]

I will stay in canada, thanks. You think im anti american or something, I have nothing but respect for the usa with the exception of a few things which is also how i feel for the country i reside in. You can keep calling me a socialist bitch who thinks the government should wait on me hand and foot, but that is not what i feel at all. And to be quite honest I would probably vote rep if i had to choose from clinton or obama.

[viktorj85]

oh i know about those contracts, like the one they charge 100 dolars per bag of laundry washed.

[ReliableInsider]

It's time for FOX NEWS to apologize for supporting George Bush in 2000.

[viktorj85]

too little too late

[js114]

Hilarious! In the same broadcast that the CNNBCBMSABC news all jumped on Fox for running file footage of the wrong corrupt politician many reported the "Scooter" Libby sentencing as being for outing a covert agent....irony...

[viktorj85]

what was his sentencing for?

[demliars]

Facts always get in the way of a good news story.

[viktorj85]

who said anything about lies or a socialist agenda, just that your a troll and you know shit of what you speak. your a brainwashed little turd.

[viktorj85]

. Hume is a fucking puppet who spews white house talking points. Oh and hes a fucking liar, go jump in a hole troll.

[viktorj85]

you clearly have shit for brains

[dgtubing]

Good luck with that.

[patriotrevenge7]

Bill Clinton had sex with Laura many times before George W. Bush ever did. Yes, Bill Clinton did it first.

[hamsterpoop]

dude... al jazeera is more fair and balanced than fox. the problem with fox news is that the interviewers switch from "opinion mode" to "interviewing mode" to quick. its fine to give your opinion, but it should be nowhere close to an interview because there is more chance of juxtaposing. which is exactly what happened in this video. i cant prove to you that it was intentional. but its such a common practice in fox news that i wouldnt be surprised.

[dosborn05]

Friend, I've watched al jazeera television. I lived in Turkey for sometime and found a way to watch the channel. No one is more biased than they are and you can not argue one way or the other unless you've watched the channel. I agree that Fox can be biased but sometimes a political bias is more noticable when it is in the opposite direction than ones own point of view. Agreed?

[hamsterpoop]

i dont agree with the al jazeera thing. but i do agree with your last sentence :P To me, a good news reporter is one that doesnt think and tell us what hes thinking, at all, never, ever, NEVER! just shows you a bunch of images, says stuff like "The american government claims that...." and so on. And also shows you a devil's advocate side of every argument. I think Reuters, CNN en español and Al jazeera are quite decent to those standards.. i do watch al jazeera btw :P

[dosborn05]

Do you watch the one that is in english or the original one? There is a difference.

[hamsterpoop]

the english one

[dosborn05]

You might try out the Arabic one before you argue in their favor.

[hamsterpoop]

yea i understand what you're saying. it's the same with cnn, the english one is a joke... the spanish one is pretty objective... i wont argue for aljazeera in general, if the original sucks, then it does. but the english one is pretty decent. usually international news is a little better.

[softearth]

That's 1 down and 323,789 to go!

[viktorj85]

yes alienate your neighboring countries, negative views toward your country stems from assholes like you. To say fox news is less biased than the networks you mentioned makes you look like you have shit for brains.

[iron1215]

The Daily Show is not a real news program. It's satire. It's no wonder you guys are so screwed up.

[iron1215]

People like Fox News. That's why it is so popular. I know that bothers you liberals to no end that people like to watch Fox News instead of CNN but that's just the way it is. Crying and whining about it is not going to change it. Maybe if CNN would have some better personality, but they don't look like they are having a good time over there. It's just bland and boring.

[JustThisGuyYaKnow]

HA! Popular with whom? People who like to be lied to? It ain't that popular, dude. The 6:30 network news still gets more viewers. And many Faux News shows are slipping slipping slipping. Meanwhile smart people check several news sources including on the "internets." Remember, studies show people who watch the Daily Show know more about the world than Fux news viewers.hehe

[linuxluver]

The BBC has a much more balanced and accurate view of US foriegn policy and the activities of Israel. I can undestand why you would not like that if you are one-eyed about either one or both. The truth is hostile to both.

[briscblue]

you the blond one how can you work at fox and sleep at night?

[splashy9]

Amazing how most of their "mistakes" seem to put down Dems, like when they identified Foley as a Dem.

[dosborn05]

You do know that the person indicted was a Dem don't you?

[JustThisGuyYaKnow]

dosborn... True. This guy is, but Faux News has labelled several other GOP alleged criminals as Democrats. YES, more than once they've done that. This isn't news. It's propaganda. I have to admit that it's good they apologized though. I respect that.

[dosborn05]

Can you name any others that they have mislabled? Foley is one, can you name any others?

[dgtubing]

I don't think I will shut up. Lets start with hapeus corpus for one, my right to travel without a passport, my right not to be spied on without a warrant.

[hamsterpoop]

dude... interviewers at fox news talk more about what they think than their guests... that's biased crap... "fair and balanced"? they should apologize for that...

[dosborn05]

Have you ever watched Lou Dobbs talk about immigration or watched any of Chris Mathews's or Keith Olbermann's show? Can you say that they are unbiased?

[hamsterpoop]

i never said they were unbiased... i'm just pointing out why fox news is specifically biased... and you're an idiot if you think that using the "well they do it so why shouldnt we?" excuse makes it alright...

[brabon]

it wasnt a mistake...they do this kind of shit over and over....this is the first time they got called on it...fuck faux news

[viktorj85]

you are retarded

[patriotrevenge7]

George Bush has only 5 still active brain cells he depends on to signal him when to stop wiping his ass. Otherwise, Laura has to notify Karl Rove.

[iron1215]

Nobody forcing them. Are you kidding me? If a black person even thinks of voting other then Democrats you guys put on the white hoods and start with the intimidation tactics. You've called Condoleeza Rice every name in the book except a smart, successful, strong, woman. You just can't stand it that someone of color has rejected your party. Why is that? Do you think you own them somehow? Are black people not free to choose which party they want to join without being called puppets?

[brabon]

we dont want condi in our party...she is a liar and a crook...you can have her

[viktorj85]

Successful, You gotta be fucking kidding me.

[iron1215]

And democrats treat them like dumb sheep. Black people you don't need the Lilly White Liberal as your mouth piece. Free your bonds and be free. They promise you the moon but they only give you dependency. The take from the rich and give to the poor is a lie. The Lilly White Liberals are the rich. Do you really think John Edwards will part with his money. They really don't care about you. Don't depend on any white people Democrat, or Republican.

[viktorj85]

hence a third party is needed.

[bsullivan2]

CNN and Fox News are both fucking bullshit. Don't get your news from cable tv corporations. That's just dumb.

[linuxluver]

CNN International (CNN-I - seen everywhere but the US and Canada) is better than CNN-US. CNN-I is competing with the BBC globally, so has to provide real news content or no one watches.

CNN-US is competing with Fox and others, so provides less news and more opinion....and LOADS of "fluff" and advertorials. When there is no state broadcaster to lift the news content above sales pitches, all you get is sales pitches.

[sirjsk]

All harm no foul.

"Oops did that get out there. Ok we'll pull it. It already did the job for us"

[mivida2k]

What are they apologizing for? An appropriate appology would have been to address Conyers and to state what they did. Faux Noise indeed.

[jimisback]

Who said that? Oh YOU? You are the bigot.

[jimisback]

Still waiting on CNN to apologize. It will not happen. They just said something was wrong. And that was about the Vice Pres.

[jimisback]

And CNN had the X screen happen twice. Did not apologize but blamed it on other shite. Viva Fox news, you have balls.

[viktorj85]

viva fox news?....Blamed it on other shite?....Fuck off idiot

[iron1215]

Well I work hard for my money and I want to keep it. Its blue collar and the private sector no hand outs. And I love Fox News.

[THUNDERZ1ALPHA]

Fox or CNN we see the same stories but with different leanings.Cnn aligned with most outlets leans left Fox leans right. The publics views are determined by several things, you pay for social programs, or you recieve them. You bust your ass working in the private sector, or took the easy road and work in government. You live by your conscience or ignore it and follow the herd. Lean left or right ppl we see the same stories but with different agendas.

[billbacon]

Looks like this was made just for utube...

[dondarrylrivera]

that was awful. that was clearly not a mistake.

[stealth63]

It's funny how every time faux noise makes a "mistake" it somehow maligns one of their political adversaries. Just more of their "far from balanced" coverage. Wouldn't surprise me to hear these repeated "mistakes" were a corporate directive.

[dansmith44]

Kinda the way the mainstream media implies Cheney made money off of Haliburton in Iraq? too bad Cheney gave his stock away before the invasion.

[stealth63]

Really? Yea, I know what you mean. They should be pointing out that while Dick was in charge, Halliburton was exploiting a loophole in fed regs that allowed them to do business with terrorist states, incl Iran, by using foreign subsidiaries. Record profits though! Helps pay that hefty pension he still gets.

[dansmith44]

Cheney receives deferred compensation from Halliburton from BEFORE he was VP under an arrangement he made in 1998, and also retains stock options. He has pledged to give after-tax proceeds of the stock options to charity. So tell me how Cheney is benefiting from Halliburton? Oh, and let's not forget Bush isn't the first to give a no bid contract to Halliburton, Clinton did it first and several US based companies do business in Iran via a foreign subsidary. Nice try though.

[dgtubing]

oh. I guess you're right. The Bush adminsitration AREN'T criminals. phew. I was worried our treasury was being gutted for corporate profits, we were fighting illegal wars and our rights were being stripped away.

[dansmith44]

Actually, under the Bush admin, the revenues to the treasury have increased. And what rights have we lost dg? We can still debate, still vote, still think, still protest, assemble, write, criticize, etc. What rights have we lost? None.

[dgtubing]

I think I provided a nice little list.

[dgtubing]

Lets see. Huge tax-cuts, billions of dollars a month spent on an unnecessary and ill-conceived war, record numbers of jobs being outsourced, and the hugest increase in the size of government EVER. I'm glad you're not MY accountant.

[viktorj85]

are you that pathetic that you think the huge profits being made by Carlyle and Haliburton have no effect on the future finincials of bush jr/sr and cheney your outta ur fuckin mind.

GOOGLE THIS

"cheney halliburton stock"

[iron1215]

No I'm not going to Google that. Probable download some liberal virus crap. Next thing I know I'll have a bunch of Barbra Streisand songs on my computer and I'm not going to take that chance.

[viktorj85]

Yes that what would happen...you fucking tard....just goes to show how ignorant you are.

[demliars]

What is it with liberals and haliburton? So freaking what! Cheney was CEO! So freakin what! Buy some stock yourself if you think it's all rigged.

Evidently the only former job a pol can have is a teacher or college prof.  We're better off with men of business who understand the real world.

[viktorj85]

The question was whether cheney sold the stock you moron , and he did not. So read all the comments b4 you respond .

[demliars]

Why should he have to anyway? Haliburton can do things no other company can. The only no bid contracts Haliburton received were under Clinton, look it up.

Never fails, hit a liberal with facts and instant name calling and profanity.

[viktorj85]

no one said he should have..come on are you even reading, the fact is he led the country into a ill concieved war, and when all is said and done and the truth comes out about the invasion and "like a pearl harbour" ya you know what im talkin about. by the way, do you actually admire cheney?

[demliars]

Cheney's the bomb. He slays these liberals in debates and leaves them smiling.

What's "ill conceived" about this war? I mean besides the fact Bush should have known democrats would stab him and the country in the back.

They saw the same intelligence he idid, voted for it, now act like they were deceived and it's his problem. Democrats act like 3 year olds and it's amazing how many ignoramuses swallow everything they say.

[viktorj85]

true enough, they do act like they were deceived, I cant stand the two top runners for the dems, one was deceived

and the other one was "against it from the beginning" whatever the hell that means. But still, I think the invasion was very mishandled. Sure the mass bombings worked in the begining but an ideal force would have been 5 times the number that were deployed. which means a draft or more countries should have sided with the states.

[Yellow586]

Wow...that was simply awful. This is the type of apology one makes if they say it's sunny and the footage is actually of a storm. Hopefully, the CBC will now realize why Fox News is not their friend and cannot be trusted.

[theprogressivetruth]

The only "people" that actually watch faux are the lowest common denominator in society.

[billbacon]

with only 38% of americans online, you'd be surprised at how many people depend on fox news for their information.

[selfTrust]

which is equivalent to approximately 50% of the population. That's going by how many people voted for Bush... TWICE!

[billbacon]

Don't blame me... I voted for Kerry... blame Kerry for Bush.

[nothankyoumam]

Seems like they did it grudgingly. Maybe they just want to avoid an expensive lawsuit for defamation. I don't believe this is the last we'll hear of it.

[Solitaryman2004]

We are Fox news, and for that, we apologize.

[billbacon]

hahaha... that's funny.

[drprestwood]

Wow...didn't even mention who the wrong video was of and apologize by name. Shameless.

[grazon]

Well I'm suprised they apologized at all.

[jacksm2001]

So what does it matter the persons color, cold cash Jefferson is a crook.

[LiberalViewer]

I saw that apology and I though it was not much but, I suppose, better than nothing. It could have been more descriptive of the error (ie, something like: "...ran video of the well respected African American Congressman John Conyers in place of the also African American Jefferson..."

I was thinking of uploading that Fox apology, but you beat me to it. You're fast!

Thx 4 the video :-)
