Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters?

please....is fox...I mean..is Fox!
what do you expect from fox...

only thing that we can do is stop watching.

classic fox news

Generally, the only people who watch Fox News are either extremely close-minded republicans, or people of any political party who realize its' level of ridiculousness and want a good laugh. This story shows an opitamy of propoganda by means of digitally altering something to make you feel or believe the way someone else wants you to. It's sad when people obliviously succomb to external factors instead of evaluating internally by using their own minds to disect matters.

Fox News: Warping the truth since 1996.

as a person who lives overseas, i am glad that know one knows of fox news' existence abroad. we wouldn't want internationals having an even worse impression of america.

This is a US problem - they continue to watch it.

Fixed News is truly not a misnomer. R. Murdock is an evil man with evil intentions.

Fox is constantly reporting false information. A perfect example would be when they reported that Obama attended a terrorist training school. Later, actual research into the issue revealed the school was a regular school. It had nothing to do with terrorism, and the majority of the students were actually Christian.

There is nothing new here. Americans should know not to believe everything they see/read.

To be a true American is to question and investigate, do not just sit by and remain silent.

As far a news channels go a bright eyes lyric comes to mind:"They give us fact or fiction i guess an even split"

i wish they'd just give us the news straight and let us make our opinions on it

Fox News is just a network that panders to its conservative thinking audience. Much like Current TV is a network that panders to its left wing, liberal audience. All of you people that can't stand Fox news sit here on Current.com all day and spew hate and extreme liberal ideology. Are you any better than the Fox News audience? I think not. But oh, I forgot, you're all right, all the time, because you are liberal. So go ahead now and attack my credibility and intelligence, that's all I ever get on this far left site.

Apparently Fox News is for people who can't read the National Inquirer.

fucking depressing.
thank god for current.

Is it just me, or has Faux attempted to make these two men look Semitic? This is playing to their viewers' racism. It's disgusting.

Shrug if you will, but if an organization that is attempting to pass itself off as a 'News' organization, this is an odd way of showing it. Having an opinion about someone's news articles is fine, but there is something... odious, about secretly altering the looks of real people you are slamming. It's like something Eleanore Iselin [Manchurian Candidate] would do... The poodle pics: funny. Altered real pics: distasteful.

OUTFOXED, Robert Greenwald's excellent movie expose on Fox News deliberate deceptions and manipulations needs to be revived, updated and publicized! See Outfoxed.org for information.

does anyone even consider the foxnews a legitimate news source anyway? I mean they're a joke.

Fox has already indicated that the news is what they say it is. That involves the altering of text, script, photo and video. The courts, to a certain extent, have agreed with them. Information or misinformation? YOU DECIDE!

Remember how the war started( oops we got it wrong ).

You can't hate something so intensely without hating yourself.

It's scary the amount of hate that is tossed at a new station people don't even watch.

I guess it's fear that they are more trusted than you'd like.

ALSO...ew about Media Matters. All I can say to that name is...AS IF.

Who still watches Fox for actual news?

Oh...

America..

Faux News' popularity/ratings still baffles me. The fact that so many Americans still watch it is a reflection of how off base many Americans are.

Even after Jayson Blair was caught making up phoney stories, was was not fired from NY Times.

FOX News distorts NY Times reporters almsot as much as NY Times reporters distort the truth.

I wonder if there is a possible lawsuit that they can file? I don't know if defamation of character applies, but I hope some punitive damages - make that a ton - are awarded.

ooooohh that is low.
wait.. its fox news!

FOX?!?! Altering the news!?! You don't say...gosh I would have never guessed. It's not like this is happened before....wait, no, yeah it has

Good lord, what are they, 6 year olds?

And with the photoshop skills of a 6 year old?

When we're honest about it though...you have to admit you're not surprised to hear of Fox doing this, right? I'm not sure what IS below them, but photoshopping is apparently not!

why are they even allowed to call it news? if i sold a product advertised as chicken, but it turned out to be pork, i'm sure an AIPEC would have my business shut down in no time if i didn't make some changes to the misleading menu. i pose the question, could fox news technically be against the law?

Another fine example of when Sensationalism isn't.
*fist bump*

That is some comically bad Photoshoppin'.

Amazing that anything to do with FOX either gets voted up or makes it to tv here while real exposes' get kicked to the 75,000s. Perhaps if the people who complain about it so much didn't give it so much attention it would slink away. This isn't important news in the scheme of the world. But I suppose it is easier to discuss.

typical Faux News...When I initially saw the story I knew something off....I'm glad somebody put it out on the airwaves. Someone has got to stop all this madness... Is there such a thing as journalistic integrity @ Faux News ....Goodness If a Rep. is not in the W.H this will become more and more common.

This reminds me of something children would do, not journalists. They tried to make these guys look ridiculous but in doing so, they showed a total lack of professionalism. I can understand a joke, but to change the photos and not say anything means it was done to intentionally humiliate these guys. Putting their faces on dogs? Seriously... Not to mention the comments they made about one of the men that used to work for fox. A news source that takes criticism like a 10 year old isn't worth watching. Actually I think even a 10 year old could take criticism a little better. I could go on about how this irritated me but I won't. I'm going to school for journalism and for a while I was disheartened by what I was seeing and considered changing career choices. Current came along and changed that for me. Thank god for that because if this is the type of thing I had to look forward to, from a "number one news channel..." I would have given up a long time ago.

There is no integrity.

where's the integrity?

Fox is just disgusting...

Rupert Murdoch! this is the guy you controls the media! he controls fox and i might say he runs a TAX free empire! having one person in control of a large media conglomerate might infringe freedom of the press!

fair and balanced news.

Fox news is our generation's video version of "Star" or other tabloid mags. Fox news makes no claim to be a genuine honest news source. Those who care and want integrity in their reporting avoid it. Those who watch soaps and daytime talkshows and feed off of drama to balance their empty lives and love the us vs them mentality. Rupert does not try to justify it. It is what it is and it every person's choice where to get the info. I mean Bill O Reilly is ex paparazzi. Want to dumb down politics let a paparazzo discuss it. They are insidious manipulators who make a living on the discards of the famous. They create reaction not response. It's high time people say "I refuse to respond to that because it is just crap" and " anyone with half a brain should see it". Politicians need to stop beleiving that these people have any sort of real power. Just cause they answer polls does not mean they are a movement. I think liberals have given much too much power to Fox by trying to challenge the crap they produce. It validates their poo. If dems or liberal reps. dismissed it and refused to appear it would make a stronger statement than going toe to toe. If we can learn anything from the Bush admin it's find a story and stick with it. Ignore ignorance.

those aren't even good photoshop jobs.

better shit on somethingawful.com's photoshop phriday.

fox news, PUH!
amateurs.

I hope the so called "terrorists" attack and blow up Fox news! Hopefully the simpsons will have moved to a different channel by then!

fox "news" never ceases to amaze me with how far they stray away from the guidelines of responsible journalism. or, rather, journalism period.

this is dumb

the worst part is, though, that there are some seemingly sensible people who actually watch fox for there news.
i remember hearing my friends mom say "you know what there slogan is? 'Fair and Balanced.'" that made me die a little inside.
but then again, she also does all of her youngest son's homework for him.

oh weird, fox news did this? this has racist undertone stink all over it too...

This is something I would expect from Comedy Central, not Fox News, it is discusting that a real news oranization would do such a thing.
How low can they go?

Let me first say I think Fox News is garbage. No one in their right mind watches that channel for anything but entertainment, and a large percentage of the viewership FOR Fox news are it's competitors for material to use in programs to attack it.

But to keep things truly fair and balanced, is this any more juvenile than MSNBC's Countdown with 'Puppet Theater'?

These tactics are silly and at best provide more fodder for the masses of people who use their time to rail against Fox news.

The best way to get them off of the air? Stop watching them. Ignore them completely. Without ratings they are forced to alter their programming to keep their Brinks and Cialis ad funds coming in.

it's not just Fox News that alters photos. back in the day the Times got in trouble for the OJ Simpson they ran in which his features were altered to make him look meaner and his skin was darkened. sadly this stuff happens a lot, rarely caught.

all TV news is complete BS. CNN is not really any better, its just more liberal so they are fewer people who try to fault it. (Yes, it really does lean left. There have been a multitude of studies regarding it.)

that is absolutely retarded,
they photoshop people's pictures to make them look uglier, then they call themselves a news station.

Why is this important? Who cares? Who in the hell is Steinberg and Reddicliffe anyway?

Blah Blah Blah, that's all I hear.

This is what happens when right-wing slush funds keep you afloat.With no need to worry about ratings, you can insult everyones intelligence and there is no cost.

This is not a news station, it is a combination of tabloid news and a Jerry Springeresque carnival barkers masquerading as legitimate newsmen.

Fox news is out of control... period.

What the hell is wrong with Fox News???

If they are going to spend time making those guys unattractive, you would think their time would be better spent making McCain a little younger and not so unattractive? Thank Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton for f%&king up the news. No one else but them to blame.

What I find funny is that the actual article Jacques Steinberg wrote wasn't really bad at all. It just talked about how Fox News is having trouble, and why it's recent statements that have angered a lot of people are the cause.

Ha. Amusing.

Wow, so they know how to use Photoshop. They showed them! And CNN and other respected news networks whoop their ass in ratings. Good job, Fox.

Hey chique please tell me that you dont watch FOX NEWS.

Since these are both obvious Photoshop jobs, I say this is fair game, like pasting a silly hat or prison garb on someone. Fox & Friends is a pretty laid back show and goofs around a lot, nobody really considers it "news."

This is far more than disrespectful. Fox should be sued beyond comprehension for this, and Murdoch should be forced to make an on air apology. Unbelievable.

Oh dear god...they really need to be taken completely off of the air.

this is messed up. sad thing is people must watch Fox News or they'd be off the air by now

Hillary did the same to Barack

FauxNews has a long list of problems. I saw them reporting on the election with stock footage of terrorist training camps on the split screen - you know, the one where the scarf-faced people do the running through the tires thing. What one had anything to do with the other in context, I don't know...
They also have an excessive amount of sex stories to fill time between Obama-bashing sessions. Someone should sue for false advertising every time they use "Fair and Balanced."
