Again, Fox News uses old footage, makes Palin book tour look bigger

Fox News was barely done licking its wounds from last week's embarrassing revelations that it had used old footage to make a Tea Party protest look bigger than it was, and now the network stands accused of doing the same thing again.

During a Happening Now segment Wednesday, anchor Gregg Jarrett described "huge crowds" showing up to a Sarah Palin book tour event, and showed footage he described as "just coming in to us now" showing the former Alaska governor surrounded by adoring crowds.

But, as Faiz Shakir at ThinkProgress reported, the images the network ran "appeared to be old file footage of Palin rallies from the 2008 presidential campaign."

Why do Christians lie so much??

    • More fake news from Fox news. Are they even trying to hide it any more? There was over 2000 people at the first signing she did. That is a lot for a book signing. Why lie about that?

    • Open wide Conservative America! It's time for another shovel full of bullshit. Since when did believing lies, living in fear and hating everything poor and brown become Christain ideals?? If Jesus were here today, he would smite you first!
