I'll assume that you guys aren't trying to mislead me and that this guy, who i've never seen before, is a regular on MSNBC and that he saw firsthand this fox video. I believe you. I still think it's funny and still believe Fox New is less biased than any other.

Where does this 11 minute thing you keep mentioning come from?

The video that was linked supposedly as a reputable source from MSNBC claiming that the video in question was indeed broadcast by Fox. I listened to it for a while but the guy was hemorrhaging such bile in his hatred for Bush that I found it very distasteful. It showed as being 11 minutes in my player.

You... seem to have made a wrong turn somewhere. The MSNBC clip was 1 minute long.

I didn't see that one before.

I don't know which is funnier, the original video or the affected outrage by liberals.

Can none of you democrats/liberals admit or see the humor in the Fox News mistake? Come on guys, are you really that wrapped up in your politics? If CNN had done the opposite listing Bill Clinton a republican during his impeachment proceedings I would have laughed.

Mmmmmmmmmkay.

To summarize the thread:

Someone: Check out this picture.
Ripsnort: Fake! Fake! Fake!
Someone: Check out this video of the scene.
Lukster: Video can be faked. FAKE!
Someone: O RLY?
Lukster: YA RLY, no news coverage, must be fake.
Someone: How about MSNBC? Click this.
Lukster: zomg why do you want me to watch 'Designing Women'?
Someone: ... perhaps you misclicked?
Lukster: Oh. Well, it's not important anyways.

Oh, I know it was a mistake, and a silly one. I just have to wonder sometimes what's going through their mind when they do it. They taped that show hours ahead of airing, it's a bit surprising that they missed that teensy error.

You know what a Freudian slip is, right? That's where you mean to say one thing, but you say your mother.

Now that's a spin my washing machine would be proud of.

You do realize that the superimposed text wasn't recorded with the earlier broadcast right? Otherwise it would have been aired when the show was broadcast earlier in the evening. It was probably added at the time of airing. Could have been a mistake or might have even been a producer having some fun.
