Fox issues on-air apology for misleading footage of Palin crowds.


Following ThinkProgress’ report yesterday that Fox News had recycled old file footage of Sarah Palin rallies to assert that she is currently getting huge turnouts on her book tour, the network issued an on-air apology this afternoon. Fox’s Happening Now co-host Jane Skinner said it was mistake, but didn’t explain how it happened:
In the tease before the segment — the tease to commercial — we told you how those people were already lining up to meet Palin. The problem is, we didn’t actually show you the video we were referencing. Instead, we mistakenly aired what’s called file tape of Sarah Palin. We didn’t mean to mislead anybody in that tease. It was a mistake. And for that, we apologize.
Watch it:



They didn't mean to mislead? I say BS, this network is a poor excuse for legitimacy...

It's amazing how Fox's mistakes are so accidental.

Yawn. I'm not sure how they expect to get away with this crap.

Yeah, like they would come right out and admit the mistake if it was on purpose. What excuses do you have for the WH posting bogus numbers and lies on their recovery site? It took the public and media to point out the wrongs, it wasn't them coming forward with the admission. They never would have admitted it if the public didn't notice it. They still are pointing fingers about that one.

That's what you're inferring. And you do it daily.

Who's kidding whom?

Now go back to your regularly scheduled Obama bashing.
