Can you imagine Fox News having a story about doctoring the news? Hope this does not lead to some cosmic unraveling or one of the time portals exploding.

However, doctoring any tape does not sound good. Please keep us posted as to further developments

I've watched all the media outlets on this event and others, and it fascinates me how much everyone other than FOX entirely lies and misrepresents the facts.

It's fascinated me how they have focused on the Video, saying "see see, no blood" but completely ignoring the fact that the Police Report from the beginning said he had the wounds, was treated by paramedics, etc. etc.

You're as disingenuous as you're claiming NBC is. NBC telling a blogger "that it would investigate its handling of a piece on the 'Today' show" is hardly the same as NBC admitting to "doctoring [the] Zimmerman 911 call."

The apology was issued today.http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/post/nbc-issues-apology-on-zimmerman-tape-screw-up/2012/04/03/gIQA8m5jtS_blog.html

For FOX News to complain about bias or doctoring evidence is pretty damn heelarious:

Fox Hypes RNC's Doctored Audio Of Supreme Court Arguments
March 30, 2012 12:14 am ET by Todd Gregory

Bloomberg News is reporting that a Republican National Committee Web ad uses "altered audio from U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments to attack President Barack Obama's health-care law." The Bloomberg article details the problems with the ad:



On his March 28 Fox News show, Sean Hannity aired an audio clip of Justice Antonin Scalia speaking during the arguments, and another of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Hannity then aired the RNC ad:

This left the impression that the RNC ad simply uses a clip of Verrilli to show that he had fared poorly during the arguments. In reality, as Bloomberg noted, Verrilli's speech was doctored to exaggerate the effect.

The time of publication on Bloomberg's article is 5:05 p.m. Eastern on March 29.

Hannity's show airs at 9 p.m. Eastern, and graphics throughout his March 29 show indicated it was airing live. But Hannity didn't apologize for airing the misleading ad. He didn't even mention it.

Even worse, during the show that follows Hannity, On the Record, host Greta Van Susteren aired the RNC ad and discussed it with The Washington Examiner's Byron York -- without ever mentioning that it was doctored.

As Supreme Court expert Tom Goldstein noted on SCOTUSblog, distortions such as these likely hurt efforts to make the court more transparent:



There are tons of examples of FOX News flat out lying or doctoring. My personal favorite was the doctored photograph of the Beck rally in Washington, making it look like there were 2 million people in attendance when in reality they were using a doctored photo that was taken during an Obama rally! Hannity was forced to admit it and apologize on the air, but only after he was busted.

This is standard fare for FOX News, which isn't news at all. It is a well crafted and well funded propaganda machine.

As they should have. Thanks for the update.

My own Fox favorite was 'footage' of an out-of-control Madison, Wisconsin, labor rally--complete with palm trees.

For the more libertarian-inclined, my favorite is when Fox deceptively edited in boos to the announcement that Ron Paul won the 2011 CPAC straw and then confronted Paul about the reaction.

That was occurring at a time when the conservative propaganda machine was attempting to portray the rallies as packed with thugs on the cusp of turning violent at any moment. In reality, the were remarkably friendly, peaceful affairs given the scope of them. It was the sort of thing local families took their kids to instead of a park or the zoo, not Chicago '68. And that's with the Walker administration taking incremental steps to spark the protestors. (You might recall that he was caught on tape admitting to contemplating having plants in the groups spark riots, but decided against it lest it backfire.) The leaders of the rallies made it a point to encourage politeness and nonviolence as an act of passive-aggression. And the crowds were made up of people just not interested in that sort of thing.

NBC has now fired a local Miami producer. Too late, they along with Obama, Sharpton, and Jackson have incited a race war.

I suspect that if some volunteer on the Neighborhood Watch patrol in Provo, Utah had shot an unarmed suspect the story would rate but one scant news report on local TV. However, if we made the unarmed suspect a teenager looking forward to entering the Missionary Training Center, the entire news perspective would be changed. Disgruntled Mormon-Americans would be crying for justice.

Several problems with your claim.

First a mormon missionary generally isn't some "punk kid" who will cold cock someone when they are walking away, and the jump on them and banging their head on the ground, and then the person to defend himself shoots the missionary.

Sorry, but most Mormons aren't stupid like you liberals. If the details were the same, we would have little sympathy for the so-called "missionary".

Further, Mormons are killed all the time, and we don't have a hissy fit. We might comment on it, but we don't have "protests", act like the ignorant mob. That's something you anti-mormons and liberals do. You've done such many times all through American history, and yearly (aka Occupy Wallstreet).

Is this really the story the right wing is spreading? That is astonishing.

Um, no. Mormons are not "killed all the time." Mormons do not proselyte in countries where Christianity is illegal, so there are few places in the world where Mormons run any risk to their physical safety just for being Mormon. When Mormons die prematurely, it's almost always due to reasons that have nothing to do with them being Mormons (like automobile accidents). That is why no one has "hissy fits" over it.

Obviously I'm not saying it happens "a ton", I'm only saying it happens. And you're wrong.
You need to read the Church News more. There is like an average of one mormon a year killed somewhere in the world, and NO, not due to accidents. I'm not talking about them.

I would appreciate it if you would provide some links to these Church News stories about Mormons being killed somewhere in the world in incidents that have something to do with them being Mormon. I don't keep up on the deaths of all Mormons, but I do tend to pay attention to Mormon missionary deaths. They are almost all accidents, not murders, and even the ones that are murders show no evidence of being religiously motivated.

This blog post, for example, lists Mormon missionary deaths from 1999 - 2006. Almost all of the deaths from non-natural causes were accidents, not murders.

Even if you are correct though and an average of one Mormon is killed every year for religious reasons, that's hardly what I would characterize as "all the time."

Bottom line is.... We don't picket the streets (literally or figuratively) simply because some injustice, but especially "perceived" injustice has occurred.

That was the point.

I'm glad Mormons are not picketing over fictitious member deaths. I'd be worried about the mental health of anyone who did so.
