Fox News labels McCain as a Democrat
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/fnc/fnc_puts_mccain_in_the_democratic_party_76962.asp

He may not be the most conservative Republican, but he is a Republican. This was the chyron at the start of Your World with Neil Cavuto.



A Fox insider tells TVNewser: "This was gross incompetence by a producer — nothing more."

3. Yeah, and strangely enough, it usually seems to go the same way
Doesn't it? I mean you'd think the mistakes would even out.

2. Are the people they hire truly THAT stupid?
Even Romney supporters aren't that inept.

I smell a gerbil in the oven.

5. Is there a repository that hold all of the screen shots showing this mislabeling?
The first one I remember is Mark Foley.

I'd love to catalog them all for some RWs I know.

13. You have to use your middle finger to use the D key
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 06:51 PM by Ichingcarpenter
Were as the R key is the first finger.

I'm sure they are not hunting and pecking
but require a minimum words per minutes typing skill.

11. And some wonder why almost all Democratic Candidates won't debate on Fox
Listen Faux, I know you don't like him but I don't want him or Rep. Foley in our party either,
he should join Lieberman's one man party.
