Fox News uses misleading footage in coverage of Palin book tour?

During Fox News' coverage of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" kickoff Wednesday, host Gregg Jarrett talked about the huge crowds the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate was drawing on the road.

The show, "Happening Now" aired in the afternoon, before the first signing took place Wednesday night at the Woodland Mall Barnes & Noble in Kentwood. He claimed Palin was "continuing to draw huge crowds" on her promotional tour, which is a weird enough thing to say before said tour has even officially kicked off.

But, as Think Progress points out, the footage used over the report is actually from the 2008 presidential campaign. Doesn't look much like Woodland Mall, anyway. You can even see McCain-Palin signs:
