There goes Faux news... misleading people like always!***********************************************************************************************
On Tuesday, Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer asked Ron Paul to respond to the chorus of boos that greeted news the insurgent small-government Texas congressman had won the Conservative Political Action Conference's presidential straw poll for the second year in a row. There was just one problem with Hemmer's question: The vocal chorus of boos didn't come from last week's 2011 CPAC as the network claimed; rather those boos were from the 2010 conference.
You can watch the 2011 footage, followed by Paul's introduction on Fox this week with the 2010 footage, via the media news site Mediaite

Bill Hemmer apologized for an "honest mistake". Notice how they still cop out of showing the actual footage of the crowd cheering at the event this year. Deliberate mistake.

Typical Fox News bullshit. Lying, narrow minded, yellow journalistic crap.
Beck is a crybaby weenie, O'Reilly just out and out lies, Murdoch pushes his right wing agenda with no regard for the truth. - 2 years ago

This doesn't surprise me FOX lied about Ron Paul. I watched the video above and saw that episode on Jon Stewart with the 2 different videos from 2 different tea party rallies. They will use any false footage to back up the lies they spew. This is the channel the low informantion crowd watches....and believes. Scary.

This was no accident! It's media manipulation. They were trying to manipulate their viewers, plain and simple. Unfortunately, it works. It has worked in the past, or their viewers would not be so misinformed.
Everyone just moves along, to their wrongs. Sad, sad, sad.

The biggest thing about Fox that is irritating is how they put up blatantly misleading and often times wrong information and then move on without saying "we were wrong." Even CNN puts up a default page when the info they ran proved to be BS.

There was a politician on NY1 tonight in a debate with another politician and she said, "this is not Fox News, you can't just make up whatever you want". I love how you can even use that line in a televised debate.

Okay, let me jump into the mix here and say that misleading and disingenuous presentation of the news is not the exclusive domain of a singular 'news' agency...
* forthwith, here is an example:The New York Times continues its fraudulent campaign to depict conservatives and Republicans as, in the words of its latest editorial on the subject, purveyors of "Dangerous Threats." The latest purported example:
Representative Denny Rehberg, a Republican and Montana's House member, boasts that he brings Made-in-Montana solutions to Washington. His latest, proposed last week in a speech advocating states' rights to the State Legislature, is to put a judge "on the Endangered Species List."
If you are familiar with the Times's swindle, you will recognize its method of supplying a brief out-of-context quote, and you will suspect that the quote in context is actually far less invidious than the Times's description would lead you to believe. You will be right. The (Butte) Montana Standard has the full text of Rehberg's address. Here is the relevant portion:
Environmental obstructionists found a federal judge in Missoula that was willing to ignore the scientific evidence as well as the expert opinions of on-the-ground wildlife managers here in Montana. And he ruled last August that the grey wolf had to remain on the Endangered Species List.
"When I first heard his decision, like many of you I wanted to take action immediately. I asked: how can we put some of these judicial activists on the Endangered Species List? I am still working on that! But in the meantime, I have introduced legislation that would permanently end federal jurisdiction over the gray wolf population--and return responsibility to the wildlife managers here in Montana."
The left-wing site ThinkProgress.org--which seems to be a frequent, though uncredited, source of raw material for Times smears--picked this up and accused Rehberg of making "a thinly-veiled threat" against the (unnamed) judge.
ThinkProgress omitted the last sentence in the passage we've quoted, so that it appeared "I'm working on it!" was his conclusion. In fact, it is clear from the full quote that it was the punch line of a joke that preceded Rehberg's statement that he was proposing legislation to change the statute he thinks the judge interpreted wrongly.
The Times's treatment of the quote is even more misleading than ThinkProgress's: The paper falsely asserts that Rehberg said he wanted to put a particular judge "on the endangered species list," when Rehberg actually referred to "some of these judicial activists"--to a type, a metaphorical species, of judge.

Yep, States Rights is more important than environmental needs.
In case you've forgotten your 7th grade Science, the environment is a closed system. When you destroy part of the system, the entire system collapses. This is not a good thing for either the "State" economy or the Regional economy. - 2 years ago

Do you even know anything about the Grey wolf population in Montana?
Wolves are a ever growing problem to farm and ranching communities and are not even remotely close to being 'endangered'.Having lived and worked in Montana and with associates degree in forestry and hydrology, so yeah, I'd say I have a reasonable idea about eco-systems.

Any news agency with an agenda should be exposed! We should not just accept it from any of them. Fox does it with purpose and are caught on a regular basis. All news agencies are not equal! Fox lies with purpose.

I agree with you that the wolf population appears to be rebounding. However, 550 animals is a very small number. The total population for the northwest appears to be less than 2000. To say that is enough of a population to carry on a species indefinitely seems rather short sighted.

I don't like obfuscating biased dis-information news from ANY source, and I respectfully disagree... Fox is just one of many who 'lies' with a purpose, we may not recognize that as so, because it is human nature to believe sources that conform to our ideals.
That is why I don't take most news for more than it's face value... there usually is much more to the story than is being told... which usually is presented with the biased perspective of those who are 'reporting'... i.e. opinionated journalism.
