This was posted in the middle of a long thread about Ron Paul...I just couldn't let it be swept under the rug...

I just want to know, for those of you who consider yourselves loyal Fox News viewers, how do you explain this?

I'm not too naive to think Fox News is the only "round the clock" news station to have an agenda/bias, but let's keep this thread on tract with Fox News, rather than the others...

So, I ask...How do you explain this?

just want to add the link to the actual Fox News video clip, to calm the people who think the youtube clip was edited to tarnish Fox News.

Was there anyone who actually watched CPAC? Was it even broadcast by anyone? Is there anyone who would care what the vote was?

That video is too f-ing long. What is the point? What happened?

They swapped the audio, and played boos instead if cheers when Ron Paul was announced as the winner.

I think the point is FOX is manipulating it's viewers. Nothing new there. They showed last years crowd reaction instead of this years. I guess FOX feels Romney is better, so they make believe CPAC did too. After all, their viewers don't know what they think until told by FOX.

Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining it.

No surprise that Fox News viewers are the least informed when Fox News is such a blatant liar and manipulator of information.

sorry about that, i should have put that info in the OP...

basically, you have Fox News announcing that Ron Paul won the 2011 CPAC straw poll...they then go to a clip of the CPAC host announcing Ron Paul as the winner. Only they didn't mention that the "clip" was from 2010, where Ron Paul got some boos from the crowd. The Fox anchor then mentioned that the response (boo'ing) probably wasn't the response that Ron Paul was looking for, and even asked Ron Paul what he thought about the boo'ing.

in the actual 2011 CPAC announcement of Ron Paul as the winner, there was a crowd full of cheering...which for some reason Fox didn't want to air.

hope that helps...
