Faux News Network Caught Lying About Ron Paul CPAC Win.

All the world’s a-twitter with a story circulating about Fox News being caught lying about the audiences reaction to the announcement of Republican Ron Paul as the winner of the CPAC 2011 Straw Poll. The cheers which actually accompanied this year’s video were overwhelming compared to the mixed reaction which was heard in 2010.


Fox News Caught Switching Video Ron Paul's CPAC 2011 Win
One loud mouth in the crowd can be heard in the background with a low pitched “BOOO” while others are cheering in the 2010 video. The announcer says it’s a mixed reaction and it is. Watching the latest video, you can hear only cheering.

Although Fox News hasn’t been at the forefront of great news reporting, this was another attempt at news manipulation at its finest and the idiot liberals who love to sling mud and throw rocks at the right wing are having a field day. Why does Fox feel the need to lie to the public just to sway a straw poll?

Here’s the video for your own viewing:

Now that you’ve actually seen and heard the video – you can be the judge however, it is clear some news director got a wild hair up their a** and decided to switch video. Whether the anchors knew it is unclear, but I’ve been in the newsroom and they usually know all about what’s going on air. In fact, they usually write it.

Unfortunately, Fox has been caught with their pants down and it’s full moon but not the effect they were looking for. Fox needs to go on the air, apologize for this huge blunder. How they are going to get any credibility back is beyond me. Once a liar it’s hard to gain any trust and at this point it’s off with their heads!

As for Fox – well, you’ve been caught red-handed stating the facts even if they are twisted – but switching video? How could you?

Got to love our news propaganda networks.

How they are going to get any credibility back is beyond me.

When did Fox have credibility?

When did Fox have credibility?

This.

All media are used for propoganda and all of them have credibility issues.

This just adds to the many reasons why I don't watch/read their stuff.

Hahaha, in the footage of the booing at the top it says "2010 passed of as the 2011 footage"

I was hoping people would catch on to the fact that Fox was trying to portray Ron Paul as unpopular while Paul was actually cheered this year.

But probably the biggest issue here is that Fox commited fraud. They labeled the 2010 CPAC as the 2011 CPAC.

TBH Fox news lying is like a Klansman saying something racist. It has a shock when heard for the first time but its become expected to the point where the only thing they have to do is give some half-assed apology and can continue being just as bad as they were before the "event" in question.

What I'm basically saying is: "They apologize and then what?". More likely then not they're not going to oust the "important" people that did this and just scapegoat a couple of nobodies, if anyone at all.

I'm not saying they shouldn't be held accountable, I'm saying the complete opposite. They need to be punished BAD. I'm talking job lost, sever reduced pay, or something besides having to make a verbal apology.

Apparently Fox responded to complaints

“We made a mistake with some of the video we aired, and plan on issuing a correction on America’s Newsroom tomorrow morning explaining exactly what happened.”

I have two comments.
1) Too late Fox. You already screwed up, the damage is already done, and you screwed up big time.
2) I cannot distinguish definite booing in any recording of CPAC of 2011 that I have heard. Are my ears that bad? Maybe, but I dont by their excuse. I dont see why anyone would make a comment refering to booing regarding the 2011 video. Thanks to the Fox Reporter Propagandist's comment on the booing, I believe the 2010 video with the obvious booing was intentional.

Besides, it is not like they havent lied before.

you know, glen beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990. is this true? who cares with fox news the truth is a matter of who shouts louder right?!

okay, enough ED, will someone please just bomb fox news, do humanity a favor .. please! or find a video of glenn beck, bill'o the clown, hannity almighty and the rest of fox and friends doing a live reinactment of the aristocrats joke as told by gilbert gottfried.

When did Fox have credibility?

They have extremely high credibility with breaking news!

That is... when the news really breaks... xD
