Guess the Hannity apology rings hollow as Fox is back to its old shenanigans again.... guess they showed the wrong crowd for Sarah yesterday, it is difficult to get this thing right... someone's head is going to explode...

Think Progress Fox News displays old campaign footage to claim Palin is getting ‘huge crowds’ at her book signings. (Updated)

YouTube - Fox News' misleading Palin crowd shot

Yep, "Fair and Balanced" indeed. I can't fathom why the Obama administration wouldn't want to treat them like a normal and legitimate news organization.

Lots of sites have vid and pics from her book signings, LOTS of people attended and were there many hours before she was due to sign her best selling book.

What does that have to do with anything? No one ever disputed that there are a lot of, erm, "challenged" people out there.

Fox said she is drawing huge crowds that is an accurate statement.


I love your smug condesending attitude towards 'ordinary people' who you consider beneath you. I thought libs were the champions of the ordianary people...?

I know I'll probably be torched for this but based on what I saw I think it was a mistake. This morning MSNBC was of course jumping all over it and showed the clip. Greg Jarrett was reporting and was talking about the crowds at the book signings and said the video was just coming in. Obviously it wasn't from the book signings because of the campaign signs but here's why I think he just made a mistake. The video wasn’t some panoramic shot showing a large crowd. It was pretty much a close up of the stage Palin was on. You couldn't ever see more than a dozen or so people around her. Why would they show that when they could have shown many more that were indeed at the book signings?

You can't keep beating people just because they're republican Jack. NOw I honestly don't see anything in Palin worth getting excited about, but millions of Americans apparently do. Are we going to judge them for their opinions?

We're all Americans with a HUGE array of opinions. No group "has it right" brother. Every opinion is valid...well, most every opinion.

Are you just failing to grasp the point of this thread, or what?

I never claimed to be a "champion of ordinary people." And yes, I have a smug, condescending attitude toward Sarah Palin supporters. I think, quite frankly, that anyone attracted to her noxious brand of idiocy must themselves be an idiot.

PatriotsReign

But yet, you ARE ordinary Jack.

If the statement is that accurate why would they need to "pad the pics?" Why not just take an actual shot of the "huge" book signing crowd?
