| Political Conversation and Debate This forum is not a temporary one. It will exist up to, and after the presidential elections. Some people want to talk or even argue politics, other's don't. Let's see if we can apply some reason and understanding to the debate. |

Fox News Alters Photos in On-Air Tantrum
Media Matters - Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters
Below is a screenshot of Fox & Friends featuring the photo it used of
Steinberg, with the original photo on its left. Comparing the two photos, it
appears that the following changes have been made: Steinberg's teeth
have been yellowed, his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to
protrude further.
Similarly, a comparison of the photo of Reddicliffe used by Fox News and
the original photo suggests that Reddicliffe's teeth have been yellowed,
dark circles have been added under his eyes, and his hairline has been
moved back.
Give the Jew a big nose and demonic swarthy look?
Seems fair and balanced Mr. Murdock. 
(Yeah - I know - it wasn't a tantrum, but how else am I gonna get hits on this?  )

Fox News distorting the truth? This shatters my whole concept of reality! Where did I put those razor blades?

My question is: Shouldn't there be some law against this kind of thing? If there is, why aren't these guys taking steps against this? Any consumer behaviorist or media professor could tell you why this incredibly influential in changing attitudes toward other viewpoints.

Great, a Left wing media "watchdog" claiming that those they don't like are shams and distorting the truth.

This seems to be par for the course with Fox. I guess what is more disturbing is the fact that people actually watch the drivel that is being spewed from that joke of a "news" network.

No, it actually is a story. It would be a non-story if conservatives were whining about "left-wing bias" regarding mainstream media, since they do so essentially continuously.
