Bloomberg Endorses Obama, Fox Says It's Romney

In case you missed it, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed President Barack Obama for president yesterday. But FoxNews.com made a teensy-weensy mistake and announced that Bloomberg endorsed Romney. In the immortal words of failed presidential candidate (and Fox fave) Rick Perry, "Oops."

Huffington Post's Sam Stein tweeted the error yesterday.

Most of us HATE BLOOMBERG.. so an endorsement from him is NOT A GOOD THING AT ALL. Should of stayed with the Romney thing.

From the Jabba T. Ailes Fux Noise deskbook:
1. Always err in favor of the teabagger Repugs.
2. When the error is noted by the damn mainstream media, blame it on a low-ranking news intern.
3. Invoke the old “no more errors tolerated” lie.
4. Repeat 1, 2 and 3.

To be fair, Bloomberg did mention Romney’s name and endorse in the same sentence when he said that he might have given two minutes of thought to him “if he was the 1994 or 2003 version.”

Then he turned around and said not even then, because even if Mitt was a good man, Obama’s still far more competent.

Ouch.

Fox News and Nation sure have had their share of Dewey beats Truman moments. So I guess they figure, whatâs one more going to hurt as long as their gullible readers donât believe in fact checking like Mitt.

LOL! What does Fux Nuze have anymore beyond:

1 – audience of mixed-nuts
2 – total lies to feed the mixed-nuts
