Right, everyone uses file footing interspersed with current footage to purposefully gin up the false impression they're trying to sell. Edward R Murrow did it all the time. It's what that award is for. |

In a way it may be good that we are calling them on it but if you think about it, you know they are rerunning the same old footage on years worth of news stories. How many times have we seen those same al queda training pictures? It's one thing to use file footage, it's another to purposefully pull footage from other events to pump up the story you're telling. The last time they did this, the notice on screen was "earlier" instead of the date or "file footage" which is the normal practice. This is purposeful misrepresentation to sell a story. It's PR, not news. |

From your own link: "Fox News rival MSNBC caught heat last week for using altered images of Sarah Palin on the air, for which they later apologized. On Wednesday, Yahoo! News reported Newsweek’s defense of their latest controversial cover, which Palin herself blasted as “sexist.”" Glass houses... Did you believe they were accurate? Next time check snopes if you're not sure... http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/palin.asp -- Nom=de=Plume |

Well, that *is* the m.o. of the right... -- If you are flajim, herring, loogy, GC boater, johnson, topbassdog, rob, achmed the sock puppet, or one of a half dozen others, you're wasting your time by trying to *communicate* with me through rec.boats, because, well, you are among the permanent members of my dumbfoch dumpster, and I don't read the vomit you post, except by accident on occasion. As always, have a nice, simple-minded day. |

How many times have we seen those same al queda training pictures? The training pictures are fake? There's a big difference. Hannity was caught doing it, then a bit later, the organization did it again. Don't they learn from their mistakes? -- Nom=de=Plume |
