Did anyone else see this? Bill O'Reilly and Fox News labeled Mark Foley a Democrat? They did not air it once, not twice, but THREE times! Fox News isn't biased and our President should win the Nobel Peace Prize. Riiiight....

Sorry I can't find more "reliable" sources. It isn't my fault the mainstream media refuses to recognize certain inequities in News coverage or general facts these days.

That is a crime called cohersion, criminal conversion, and FOX should be sued. Professionals don't make mistakes three times.

I've watched quite a bit of both CNN & FOX. If that image isn't doctored, it is a brief typo. I'm sure the newscaster was verbally refering to him as a republican at the same time & it was immediately corrected, because all I've seen on Fox was references to REPUBLICAN Foley.
And I have heard MANY, if not ALL of the commentors on Fox, not only condemning Foley, but also wanting an investigation in to who knew what & when. One conservative commentator last night said "If Hastert didn't know - he should have!"
Part of the confusion (again, IF the image is accurate) is that there is a democrat Tom Foley. IF someone made that kind of mistake, I sort of hope they'd get fired for it.

FOX NEWS (NNN) Nazi News Network probably did that deliberately. Planting that seed in the minds of the drones who watch them is one way they can foster the same type of idea as the one that said Saddam was responsible for 911, a ridiculous idea that somehow has grown legs amongst wife-beater Republicans.

Yeah...LOL...that is just great. If that's a mistake, I'm the freaking pope.
It's like how they all love to call the Democrats the "Democrat Party" now, so that you don't subconsciously associate them with "democracy" - you know, that quaint old-fashioned idea that the Bush Regime has tried its best to annihilate.
Pathetic, desperate, sickening.

Are we surprised that Fox news, or any other news network has made an error in reporting anything. Seriously folks, like thats a new thing or something.

Very reliable sources too
Typical for a liberal
EDIT
I actually read what you added. haha. Got a good laugh from it. You know that if this were true the drive by media would soak it up and use it as an attack because they are being killed in the ratings by Fox News.
Good try but you definetly failed

Please ....
What do you expect from the GOP propaganda machine. Do you think they would be fair and balanced? Nah ... they just say that.
Fox "News" is not interested in reporting the true story. Fox "News" is nothing but the bullhorn of the GOP. Why do you think people like Tony Snow(job) get picked?
