Fox "News" is a lying, news-altering piece of garbage

Now, we all knew that Fox is entertainment. I mean, come on. Fair? Balanced? (Oh, apparently, these days they are fair, balanced AND accurate. Which is like me pretending to be a yogi and a pushup maniac). You've seen Bill O'Reilly and that idiot Sean Hannity with his shit-eating grin. They are hate mongers, and they reap their millions by creating straw men on the left and then knocking them down, and providing their audience with a bunch of vitriol and bone-headed opinion.

But that's the point - all that is opinion. As much as I hate BillO and his pompous ass, as much as I want to pull out Hannity's teeth with a pair of pliers (All their acolytes - Dick Morris and Ann Coulter and Bernie Goldberg and all the other wankers deserve to have pineapples shoved up their asses too), as much as I want to do all that, well, they are opinion makers. Their opinion might be a busload of bullshit, but its their opinion.

But when Fox actually crops and edits video to fit their news story (which usually is a critique of the admin), not only is it 1. Easy to detect and call them out on it, because the facts are open to all to see, but 2. It is worse than the usual chicanery and sophistry and deception; it's just flat out lying. Not that I expect any better from these assholes, but still.

Here's an example of what I mean, from mediamatters.org. Boy, we really do owe these guys for keeping tabs.
