This appears to be accidental...though you never know with Faux News.

I have much bigger problems with what MSNBC says on purpose than what Fox says on accident.

Faux News makes a lot of so called "mistakes"....many are meant to keep their faithful viewers misinformed. And as a recent survey has shown, they've done a pretty good job in that area.

In this case however, they apparently mixed "Holocaust Survivor" and "Nobel Prize Winner"

Yea...LOL..little resemblance there. But still, that network is pretty sympathetic to Jews and most certainly the Holocaust, so i doubt anything was done intentionally.

Hell, at least a few Fox News folks have advocated for a war with Iran just because Ahmadinthehead is a Holocaust denier (though they don't put it quite in those terms).

What do you expect? Only idiots watch that network anyway, and clearly they are the low information crowd, many of whom don't care if what they hear is factual. FOX knows this, thats why they have no reservations about making "mistakes", like calling Mark Foley a Democrat or deliberately altering peoples pictures. Their "mistakes" are never acknowledged, either.
