Fox News Throws Stones About MSNBC's Deceptive Romney Wawa Video

In an amusing story that has also been reported on the Fox News air, Fox Nation posts that MSNBC used deceptive video editing to mislead viewers about Mitt Romney’s remarks when he visited a Wawa recently. In fact, MSNBC apologized and showed the rest of Romney's remarks. Even though the complete MSNBC video showed Romney was not misrepresented in the first place. But Fox is in no position to throw stones at anyone else’s editing. A few examples after the jump:

1. Hannity edited an Obama quote to make it look like he planned to raise taxes.

2. Fox edited an interview between Chris Wallace and Jon Stewart to leave out the part where Wallace suggested that Fox News is biased by saying the network "tells the other side of the story" from the so-called liberal media.

3. Fox edited video in which Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was criticizing President Bush’s deficit spending to make it seem as though she were criticizing President Obama.

4. Fox showed said Palin was "continuing to draw large crowds" on her book tour, while showing footage from the 2008 campaign.

5. Hannity apologized for "showing the wrong video" of Glenn Beck's 9-12 rally while calling it a protest against the Affordable Care Act.

6. Fox doctored photos of NY Times journalists.

These are just a few examples of Fox's egregious editing. A YouTube user (Liberalviewer) has collected a Fox News Video Editing Bias List and Media Matters also has a page documenting other examples.

Well, isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black. I guess it takes one (or hundreds) to know one. Fox News – Have you no shame??

Fox “News” wants to be number 1 in deceptive video editing. Shame on MSNBC for vying for the title of Most Deceptive News Network of the Century. At least MSNBC apologized.

Thx4 Fish, I imagine that right before they go on air that they repeat “I’m making millions to spew this shit, I’m making millions to spew this shit…” Their smugness overrides any embarassment they might feel.

Do hypocrites know that they are hypocritical? I don’t see how they could, or else the Foxcasters’ faces would be a constant shade of crimson as they daily embarrass themselves as mental and moral deficients in front of one and all. They would embarrass themselves less if they did their shows in the buff.
