On Tuesday, Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer asked Ron Paul to respond to the chorus of boos that greeted news the insurgent small-government Texas congressman had won the Conservative Political Action Conference's presidential straw poll for the second year in a row. There was just one problem with Hemmer's question: The vocal chorus of boos didn't come from last week's 2011 CPAC as the network claimed; rather those boos were from the 2010 conference.

They did the exact same thing a few times before and got caught.

I turned my TV services off 2 months ago. Best shit I've ever done. I get my news from the net, watch moview on Netflix movies and torrent motorycycle racing.

Wake the fuck up America...we need Ron Paul in office and more like him in Congress.

My brother! Me too, me, Hulu and Netflix have been having a 3 way for the last couple months! Fuck, cable TV! If I want to watch something, I can usually find it on the net. Heck, almost every network streams their shows from their site. If I get desperate, there's always Redbox.

Every major news organization has done this. Fox just happens to be the latest one to do it, and of course since most people hate Fox, well, they are getting the attention now.

Nothing new though...

Yeah they all do it!!!

Just one thing...since my memory isn't so good can you list those instances when the rest of them did something similar?

I cant remember those exact occasions.

Google is your friend, typing in MSNBC wrong footage turned up several for me including more Fox News ones. If you watch any American news channels, you deserve what you get. Hell, Dan Blather even got caught with fabricated documents.

I didn't say *doing it* makes it right. It doesn't, in any instance.

Of course, I also think that the news should also be unbiased, and none of them are. Anybody who thinks ____________ is unbiased, is wrong.

I'm *working*, so I don't have time to track down the instances right now Paul, but 10 seconds on Google will show you all you want to know.

However, since I brought that particular tidbit up, I realize the burden of proof is on me and I don't expect you to go find it. I'll track it down for you later.
