FOX "News" got busted running footage from last year's campaign, while calling it a shot of the crowd at Sarah Palin's book signing. Yes, they did later apologize for the "error." But isn't this error happening quite a lot? Somebody in the production room is either really bad at his job. . .or really good at his job.
The proof of FOX's allegiance to conservative and Republican causes keeps piling up, as though we need any more. But to "FOX fans," they can do no wrong. Or at least no worse than the dreaded MSNBC. Like Palin (whose fan base is likely the same group of people), FOX can never be proven to be anything less than stellar to these people. So, the people that need the convincing are the casual viewers, the doubters. I hope they're paying attention.

Fox News displays old campaign footage to claim Palin is getting ‘huge crowds’ at her book signings. (Updated)
This afternoon, Fox News host Gregg Jarrett proudly announced that Sarah Palin is “continuing to draw huge crowds while she’s promoting her brand new book. Take a look at — these are some of the pictures just coming into us.” But the pictures that the network chose to display on-air appeared to be old file footage of Palin rallies from the 2008 presidential campaign. Individuals in the crowd are seen holding McCain/Palin signs, and others are holding pom-poms and cheering wildly. “There’s a crowd of folks,” an enthused Jarrett observed, referring to the old footage. Watch it. . .
