Update December 8, 12:17p.m.: Fox called to say that John Stack, vice-president of newsgathering, "confirmed that an error was made and that the video has since been removed and measures will be taken to prevent this from happening again."

Isn't that the same thing they said the last time this happened? Maybe they should have several copies printed up, ya know. Just in case.

I would be interested to know how often this happens on each of the networks.

There were also palm trees in the video - not something I associate with Russia [8|]

Russia's a large place...you can readily find palm trees in Sochi

Indulge me please:

I'm thinking a sit com ..... located in a busy news room .... employing a series of broken alcoholic and drug addled has-beens .... who can barely type let alone master digital technology .... intense deadline pressures .... ruthless, bottom line driven sleazy bosses ... .. with a naked right wing agenda ..... where political and business interests merge .... in a blur of greed alcohol and last chances ....

This sit com might just be a ratings winner .... for a while

Of course, it would have to be fiction wouldn't it? It would have to be .... wouldn't it ...........?[:D]

Are you suggesting the other media outlets never make mistakes?

My question is "Are they mistakes?"

THB - I was not at all suggesting that and wanted to do a comparison. While looking for "Fox News video errors vs other networks" I found this:

30 reasons why Fox News is not legit

Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters

During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered.

After putting up the photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe, Fox & Friends also featured a photograph of Steinberg's face superimposed over that of a poodle, while Reddicliffe's face was superimposed over that of the man holding the poodle's leash.

Below is a screenshot of Fox & Friends featuring the photo it used of Steinberg, with the original photo on its left. Comparing the two photos, it appears that the following changes have been made: Steinberg's teeth have been yellowed, his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to protrude further.

Similarly, a comparison of the photo of Reddicliffe used by Fox News and the original photo suggests that Reddicliffe's teeth have been yellowed, dark circles have been added under his eyes, and his hairline has been moved back.

[image]http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/images/item/fox-20080702-redicliffe.jpg[/image]

So between this and because all the "errors" I've seen promote Fox's positions, I conclude that the "mistakes" are in fact deliberate.

The fuax newsers have subliminal messaging down to an art form and a more than willing audience.

You didn't answer the question. Are you suggesting that other media outlets never make mistakes?



Lucylastic -> RE: Fox News fakes Russian election coverage with riot footage from Greece (1/14/2012 6:30:57 AM)

what part of "THB - I was not at all suggesting that and wanted to do a comparison. " did you not understand?

You are right. I should have reworded the question.

So Kali, do you believe that the other media outlets never make mistakes?



Lucylastic -> RE: Fox News fakes Russian election coverage with riot footage from Greece (1/14/2012 6:47:39 AM)

[8|]
yes you SHOULD have reworded it.
It still sounds like a strawman, because I dont believe she alluded to that either.
If you would like to show falsifying video of riots to be elsewhere, for gods sake show it and stop dangling it.

Does no one at Fox fact check videos?


And then Fox and the Fox kool-aid drinkers wonder why Canada won't allow Fox-"News" on their TV channels?

Seems pretty self-evident.

Of course not. Here are examples of NY Times corrections. See the difference?

An earlier version of this article misstated the starting salary for newly hired teachers. It is $45,530, not $42,512.

* Because one informal name of the hooded crow is "gray crow," I initially included the wrong Latin species name -- Corvus tristis. I've removed it.

An earlier version of this article misstated the name of a Denver Broncos running back. He is Lance Ball, not Leonard Ball.

An Associated Press article on Friday about sales of the cholesterol drug Lipitor referred imprecisely to a discount card that Pfizer is offering. While some patients will be able to get the drug with a $4 co-payment, not all will be eligible for such a discount because the card carries many restrictions.

A Political Memo article on Thursday about Mitt Romney’s speech after his New Hampshire primary victory on Tuesday quoted incorrectly from one of his comments. Referring to President Obama, Mr. Romney said, “He wants to turn America into a European-style social welfare state” — not “a European-style entitlement society,” which is how the statement was rendered in the text of the speech released by the Romney campaign.
