FOX News Doctors NY Times Photos

I suppose FOX News’ lack of integrity will come as a surprise to no one else, but it still occasionally surprises me — not the lack of it, as much as the poor job of demonstrating it. It’s not even good ’shopping. Apparently they have no more respect for themselves or their viewers than the old Weekly World News used to. (They, at least, made no pretense about their b.s.)

Fox News has sunk to a new low. On Wednesday, the network displayed photos that its editors had doctored of two New York Times employees–reporter Jacques Steinberg, and editor Steven Radcliffe. Media Matters has graciously provided us with the before-and-after evidence showing that Fox purposefully yellowed Steinberg’s teeth, widened his nose and chin, and photo-shopped his ears [to] stick out further.

Hah! It’s funny, but just from reading the headline to this entry, I thought to myself, “wow, that’s just like the old Weekly World News!”

Bob Lind (yes, that Bob Lind) used to be an editor at WWN. I’ve known him for years, and for some years we were neighbors. He told me they’d come in and sit around drinking coffee and writing down everyone’s crazy ideas. Then they’d vote, and the craziest got written and published.

I was featured one time as an anthropologist who learned to communicate with ants. Would have probably gotten me axed from the AAA, if I’d still been a member. (Those ants were really interesting though; taught me a lot about the work ethic…)

Fox News is King of spin of doctoring, and O’Reilly is the Queen! If you doubt that just look at the story they broke about the “To Hell with America” speech! Anderson Cooper posted most of the original speech on his website, and anyone that had taken the time to read the full speech would immediately understand the point that was being made. The point that was being made was that the American government has gone out of its way to suppress and medically test black people in the past.
