This GOP primary should end well....

 
GaryPDX [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 11:31:26 AM  
That had to be planned.

As FoxNews fans wonder why their news channel has so little credibility.

 
Calmamity [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 11:36:18 AM  
It's only Freudian if it's unconscious.

This is typical Fox News bias and manipulation. They know exactly what they're doing.

 
Bill Frist 2008-02-08 11:36:44 AM  
Kind of par for course for them:

I kinda hope that Fox keeps up this "mistake" through November. Hopefully some idiots will expose themselves by asking why there are republican candidates for president this year.

 
seventypercent [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 11:48:40 AM  
This is high-larious.

 
BobtheFascist 2008-02-08 11:49:10 AM  
Didn't they throw an (R) after Leiberman once, too?

Standard operating procedure for Faux News...this isn't the first time they've done this and I doubt it will be the last.

Nestea Plunge: FOX News: We inform, you OBEY!

We report: you decide to buy into everything we say or else you're a liberal, America-hating, commie terrorist.

 
madmann [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 12:40:47 PM  
Hey now... it doesn't specifically say "Democrat", only "D".

Maybe they were just noting his status as "Deceased".

My vote:
Fox news: We distort, you deride.

 
VictoryCabal [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 12:44:41 PM  
Ok, I've seen lots of screen caps of Fox News identifying Republicans as Democrats - especially Republicans involved in scandals. But I've never, ever seen Fox News identifying a Democrat as a Republican.

Why do their "mistakes" only ever go one way?

 
ExJerseyGirl [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 12:47:30 PM  
Well, it is an honest error. After all, McCain IS a democrat at heart.

And Romney has always been a true conservative.

And we've always been at was with Eurasia.

Agreed. There's no way something like that can slip past a manager unnoticed.

They must have let Laura Ingram or Rush Limbaugh play with the knobs in the control room.

 
ExJerseyGirl [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 01:46:01 PM  
Nestea Plunge: Like when the Paul Begala story was unamimously found to be false, FOX News Channel political flying monkey Major Garrett said he would "take it under advisement" and kept reporting the false story as if it were true.

Fine news channel you got there, Rupert and Roger, how about reporting the facts for a change?


I am sure Karl Rove will get right on it.

Well, they won a Florida court decision that said they don't have to report the truth.

They sell eyeballs to advertisers. Their only product is attention. And they'll mine it by any means possible.

Dude, just...no. That's not even on the same level. There's stupid and then there's this.

Nestea Plunge:

That's a blocking marker so Cheney is centered in the shot, a studio error, not willful dishonesty like FOX does in spades.


I was asking about the graphic in dogdaze's post. Never saw that one and it looks like an eggregious error.

Guy's name is Niger Innis. It was either the worst typo ever, or someone was desperate to get fired.

Gotcha. That's one big mistake--wouldn't even make it through a Fark filter.

If this was done on purpose, why? To convince people to suddenly switch their allegiance to Huckabee?

"Typo" my ass. I don't like McCain, but this is retarded. EABOD and DIAF, Fox News.

Pathetic.

2009 they should be sued into nonexistence. This Stalin bullshiat has to end.

Can't say I blame Fox news. Any day now I expect McCain to grow a set of donkey ears--he's been braying like one for years.

 
rotay5 2008-02-08 03:15:34 PM  
Maybe they are just calling a spade a spade.

I don't really mind so much that Fox is right-leaning. What bugs me, is they seem so DUMB.

 
Uchiha_Cycliste [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 03:18:34 PM  
There's no WAY that it was an accident, they talk politics ALL day and everyone and there mother knows who the major candidates are. It's akin to some one at espn say Barry Bonds formerly of the Oakland Raiders was arraigned today...

 
One F Jef 2008-02-08 03:23:21 PM  
just another lie by the MSM and librul media to slander the good name of fox news, the only place where you can hear the TRUTH

go back to watching your live abortion coverage with cnn or your gay marriage orgies on MSNBC you damn hippie commie librul bastards

Nestea Plunge:
You have to cater to your demographic. Ever watch Fox & Friends in the morning? It is scripted for a 3rd grade level.


Remember a few years back when it first came on? They had a friggin' muppet character on the couch with them! (YA RLY!)

 
Philip J. Fry [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 03:26:05 PM  
Does anyone have an image of another news network misassigning a party designation?

It's completely understandable for someone to screw up a graphic, but Fox seems to consistantly assign the wrong party designation for someone at odds with the Republican party.

 
VictoryCabal [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 03:26:10 PM  
Maybe Fox News outsourced all their graphics to India or something.

Uh-huh... And you're still gonna vote for him instead of Clinton anyway.

You guys are funny... You really are.

 
Shaggy_C 2008-02-08 03:27:49 PM  
Is there really anyone who thinks McCain is actually a Democrat? Seriously, even if this was intentional, it's actually kind of a funny snub at the guy. It's not like Foley, which could be construed to make Dems look bad. This is just silly.

 
dogdaze [TotalFark] 2008-02-08 03:28:39 PM  
Look folks, mistakes happen (new window). Go ahead and project your hate on whatever news outlet you so very much dislike, but at the end of the day, they are operated by people, and people make mistakes.

Personally, I'm a fan of the gay abortion orgies.

Dear FoxNews:

Well I know a gorilla that wouldn't take a crap in here for a dollar!
