They All Look Alike

posted by on June 5 at 9:54 AM

Fox News made a little mistake in yesterday’s coverage of the William Jefferson indictment.

Update: Talking Points Memo notes Fox News ran an sorta-kinda apology for the gaffe today:

The Fox anchor didn’t note that they’d shown video of one African-American congressman (Conyers) in place of another (Jefferson). They just said they’d “mistakenly run the wrong video” with no explanation of what the mistake was. I’m not sure what an ‘apology’ means one way or another. But it seems like a clarification was in order that the guy they showed, Conyers, actually didn’t get indicted for anything.

It is convenient for some to try to tarnish Conyers though since he’s played a lead role in investigating the Attorney Purge.

I think Fox is gearing up for full-on Race War. Yesterday O'Really actually said something along the lines of "America is primarily a country built by and for white Christian men".

Will the Congressional Black Caucus finally drop their partnership with Fox?

He should sue Fox for defamation of character, and use the winnings from that suit to buy out the Wall Street Journal.
