I would like to ask my Conservative counterparts - you don't really think Fox News is actually a news channel do you?

So basically Fox News is either totally incompetent or lying. Either this "pimp" cut the tape and lied to them, which means that they don't check for facts, or they edited themselves, which means that they are purposely putting forth lies and half-truths.
Surely any resonable person, regardless of political ideology, would stop listening to a channel that spins and lies, right?
Now some will probably say that Fox leans right, MSNBC leans left, etc. Which is true. But there have been no documented instances that I have found that MSNBC is playing doctored tapes or "accidentally" edited photos of Tea Party rallies to make them look bigger, having producers rile up the Tea Party crowds to make them look angrier, etc, etc, etc.

I also find it interesting that this story is listed in the POLITICS sections of the Fox News website:

Hey, at least they put it on their website. But I find it telling that they consider a legal investigation "politics" and not "news" or "law".
By the way, the other night Rachel Maddow did a great job of disecting these lies for all to see.
And note - this is a post about Fox News and journalistic integrity, not Acorn. Please comment accordingly.
