Remember when the Foley sex scandal was going on and FOX News identified him as a Democrat and then, just a couple of weeks ago when the subject came up again ran the same "mistaken" footage again?. Well, rest easy folks because they've made up for it. Kind of.
For upbeat piece, Fox News converts uber-liberal Jim McDermott into a Republican

This morning, Fox News' Jon Scott led off a "Happening Now!" with a report on some very worthy legislation now making its way through the halls of Congress:
Scott: Despite talk that the recession is easing, the House is taking up emergency legislation this week that would help Americans out of work. A bill offered by Republican Congressman Jim McDermott of Washington would provide 13 weeks of extended unemployment benefits. The checks would go to more than 300,000 people living in states with unemployment rates at 8.5 percent or higher. ...
I imagine it's news to Jim McDermott that he is now a Republican. He's not only an ardent Democrat, he's considered one of the most liberal members of Congress. Here's more on his legislation to help out the long-term unemployed.) |
It's no surprise that FOX News... once the courts decided that the First Amendment gave them the right to plain old lie to their viewers... stopped even trying to hide their bias.
