gosh... i wonder if they used the wrong video because all blacks look the same to those at Fox... or if they purposely made the "mistake" as a jab... either way, Murdoch's racist propaganda network strikes again...

Conyers blasts Fox News for ‘apology.’

Fox News “apologized” today after airing images of Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) during a discussion of indicted Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) (both happen to be African African).

“Yesterday at this time, news of the indictment of Congressman William Jefferson came down. We mistakenly ran the wrong video to accompany this story and we apologize for that error,” a Fox anchor, Martha MacCallum, told viewers at about 1:20 p.m. today. The 10-second apology made no reference to Mr. Conyers and did not explain why or how the erroneous video made it to air.

Conyers responded today in a statement:

Fox News has a history of inappropriate on-air mistakes that are neither fair, nor balanced. This type of disrespect for people of color should no longer be tolerated. I am personally offended by the network’s complete disregard for accuracy in reporting and lackluster on-air apology.

I don't think it's intentional, I think the network is made up of professionals who themselves are probably closet bigots so they make these frequent, accidental mistakes that reveal their personal views or ignorance.

Well, gol-lee, Aunt Magee, did the TV show a big black "X" over the face of Mr. Conyers???

Didn't you hear ? Fox is the only network that ever makes an innocent mistake

Liberals are so pathetic that every little thing that happens has to have a new thread, they are petty little kids who's hatreds control their every thought.

every network makes mistakes... it's just that not every network makes the convenient mistake of precisely what everyone views them as... -- biggots...

please don't talk to us about "petty" or "hatreds"... Fox' party of choice has cornered the market on both terms, thanks...

For Fox to have done that is extremely irresponsible and proves the adage that they all look alike...

That is a purely bigoted statement that you can neither prove or substantiate, so the fact that you even threw it out there is totally irresponsible.

Go ahead and justify it as you will as "political satire" or whatever, but this is a racist crap, and totally offensive.

hey, at least they didnt run out a film clip of "Sanford and Son"

Lets see...

"God and the Dingobats"... no, that's not a liberal-started thread... "Obama and the Race Crap"... "Homosexuals brainwashing schoolkids..."

Let's face it, the last thing the right wing should be crowing about, is how everybody on the "other side" is "blinded by hate."

I noticed one of the right wingers here did a nice historical windup on "The Big Lie," only to serve up the notion that anything pointing out the "Big Lie" theory at work at Bush's expense, is itself an a priori example of "The Big Lie." Regardless of whether it's true.

The same kind of double think is going into the right wing extremist responses seen here.

Fox adds to its already shoddy as hell journalism by running the wrong video...

and it's proof that the left is full of hate.

Ah, yah.
