Fox News' year in apologies: fake videos, false info, cutting and pasting from GOP
November 19, 2009
On November 19, co-host Jane Skinner apologized for Happening Now "mistakenly" airing a fake video of Sarah Palin's book tour "crowds." This was not the first time Fox News has apologized for airing fake videos and false information.
Fox News' year in apologies...
- Fox News presents year-old Palin footage as new Palin book tour crowd.
- Stewart blasts Hannity for using old video footage to inflate Bachmann rally attendance.
- Fox News' Garrett apologizes for fake HBO-Obama story -- which Fox News repeated days later.
- Kilmeade: Americans don't have "pure genes" like Swedes because "we keep marrying other species and other ethnics."
- Fox News presents deceptively cropped 6-month-old Biden clip as new.
- Fox News Watch's Scott claims "[w]e don't have any idea" what Biden said to AFL-CIO, but transcript was available.
- Fox passes off GOP press release as its own research -- typo and all.
The rest.
