Fox Does It Again

[lame54]

[sakabatou]

1. They always pull this shit

Switching D's and R's, calling Obama "Osama," and other things.

[Drale]

2. They do it on purpose

and will continue to do so until they are fined heavily.

[tammywammy]

3. There's been plenty of DUers accidentally post Obama instead of Osama as well. n/t

[spanone]

5. yes, but we're not an international news agency.....

but then again, i guess faux isn't either

[Thegonagle]

22. Fox40 is a local UHF in Sacramento. This wasn't FNC on cable.

The local guys made what is apparently a very common typo.

[kenfrequed]

7. None of us are a news outlet.

Arguably Fox isn't a news outlet either but somehoe I don't think 'random guy on the internet' should be held to the same standard as a network that purports to inform the citizenry.


I don't know what you are trying to say either.

[lame54]

8. the key word being accidentally

[LanternWaste]

13. I don't think DUers have ad-copy and proofers....

I don't think DUers have ad-copy and proofers going over their work prior to release.

18. at fox

it's not an accident

[notadmblnd]

4. Someone did it here too.

Earlier, this morning.

[pacalo]

6. They're showing us why Obama had to talk to them like 4-year-olds at the WH correspondents dinner.

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

9. I could say making that mistake when you're talking of the two...

but not in type.

[gauguin57]

10. NPR apparently accidentally did it, too.

[Jefferson23]

14. For crying out loud! n/t

[Kurovski]

11. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, mostly because

President Obama got done the job the righties said they wanted done, and no error is going to change that fact.

[lame54]

12. they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt

[Kurovski]

16. It doesn't matter. No skin off my nose today.

I don't like or trust NPR either.

And you have pointed out what they always do. Unless it was photoshopped, which I'm sure it wasn't.

That's how I feel today. If they did it on purpose it's an admission of failure that changes nothing. I might be upset if it read "Obama is dead". I don't know any "Obama bin Laden".

And yes, good catch of their passive aggression/incompetence. :thumbsup:

[Gunny1]

15. In all fairness

Ted Kennedy did that too. On tape - and he didn't just switch an S and a B. He stammered a bit then actually called Obama "Osama Bin Laden"

[MadBadger]

17. you know ko did it last night too

[lame54]

20. damn ...

Fox has a long history of this but are going to get a pass on this one because so many were so excited by this that they fumbled their words.

Fuck!

[postulater]

19. Time to update their Spell-Check.

[pokerfan]

21. Another Fox Fail

"President Obama is, in fact, dead."
