Why do you think the Fox network misidentified Foley as a Democrat?

Question

Everyone knows the Fox network is part of the Republican propaganda machine. Do they not know Foley as one of their own? Or do they just not want to claim him? Perhaps they think so little of their viewers intelligence that they thought they could fool them into thinking he was a Democrat and therefore keep their votes? Mabe it was just an honest mistake? NOT! They are sh$#ing their pants and my soul sings!

Answer 1

I don't presume to know their motive for it, assuming that there was, in fact, an ulterior motive. I do know, however, that the constant assertion by some left-wingers that everything that isn't quite accurate is deliberate Republican trickery of some sort is very annoying. It smacks of intellectual elitism, because as we've all been made aware, you're so much smarter than the rest of us, and clearly don't make mistakes yourselves.

Answer 2

I've seen the images on websites trying to "show" Fox News tried to present Foley as a democrat. I highly suspect the image is doctored.

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.

The only thing "fair & balanced" about FOX is that it provides balance by presenting the "right while CNN presents the "left." I watch both to get the whole picture.

Answer 3

i've got considered the photos on web content attempting to "tutor" Fox information tried to latest Foley as a democrat. I enormously suspect the image is doctored. i've got watched lots of the two CNN & FOX. If that photograph isn't doctored, this is a short typo. i'm particular the newscaster replaced into verbally refering to him as a republican on a similar time & it replaced into right this moment corrected, because of the fact all i've got considered on Fox replaced into references to REPUBLICAN Foley. and that i've got heard MANY, if no longer all the commentors on Fox, no longer basically condemning Foley, yet additionally wanting an study in to who knew what & while. One conservative commentator final night suggested "If Hastert did no longer comprehend - he could have!" area of the confusion (back, IF the image is precise) is that there is a democrat Tom Foley. IF somebody made that form of mistake, I form of wish that they had get fired for it. the only ingredient "honest & balanced" approximately FOX is that it provides stability by using providing the "precise jointly as CNN provides the "left." I watch the two to get the full photograph.

Answer 4

I believe what you are saying. They put the phrase Democrat underneath him for the viewers that don't follow politics. The bad part is there are some people who believe it...

Fox will do almost anything to mislead the viewing audience. I remember the reporter who made Clinton angry and if that were me I would have taken him and slapped the cowboy sh*t out of him.......
