This one comes from a reader and I don’t have video so I can’t absolutely swear to its validity. However, it sure quacks like someone at Fox News couldn’t tell the difference between Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and the former president and CEO of Air Canada, Montie Brewer. But, hey, Italy and Air Canada are both foreign entities and each name has “Monti” or "Montie" in them so who wouldn’t be confused? Screen grab after the jump.
According to my source, this appeared during a report on the November 16, 2011 Fox Report. Although the graphic was corrected the next night, when another report on the situation in Italy ran, there was no correction or acknowledgment of the error the night before.

Well, we are talking about the network that regularly posted a picture of Osama bin Laden over the name of Barack Obama — and, just recently, posted a pic of President Obama of the name of Mitt Romney.
Hey — who has time to fact-check when you’re in the propaganda business . . .
