From NBC:

Quote
Over at "Beat the Press: Fox Anti-Aging Fix" graphic, Abrams urged, "Take a good look at the senator and the video they use." He then showed a clip in which Fox ran video of a strangely youthful and vigorous-looking McCain at a campaign rally to accompany a story about McCain's current campaign schedule. However, the video also prominently features a sign reading "www.mccain2000.com," which at one point is even waved in front of McCain's face.

"Fox is actually using eight year old video to discuss today's activities," Abrams marveled. He concluded cheerfully, "They report -- you decide."


I find it impossible to believe (but I'm sure grumpee can) that this was a mistake. Fox is deliberately trying to fool the simpletons that watch their network that mcsame ain't an old fart.

How the hell can FOX convince any thinking person that Little Mac isn't old? That would be like convincing thinking people that B. Huessien Obama is not socialist-lite.

Neither is going to happen.

How sleazy is that?

Of course, they will produce an argument that many TV stories use old archive footage--so why can't they?

Peter, I hope you realize in your statement that ANY president will be considered as a socialist--and if they are not socialist, they are an asshole dictator of some other sorts.

Obama has already been portrayed as both.  I wish people would make up their minds.

Sometimes, when the news is on and showing the war, I wish bullets would rip out of our hi-def screens and shatter everything this institution has shoved down our throats.

Believing the world can be a better place is greater than the beliefs in all deities combined--times infinity.

I doubt that there is much difference in intelligence between FOX viewers and CNN viewers.  Now, I don't know about those MSNBC people....

McCain was already old in 2000, so I doubt it was particularly effective. Roll Eyes
