Glass Houses
Sure, I can understand Fox News wanting to laugh at CNN for not being able to spot a Photoshopped picture of Sarah Palin's head on another woman's gun-toting, bikini clad body as a fake...
...but if they are going to mock the incompetence of other news organizations for not spotting a obvious fake, then should we let Fox off the hook for letting the description of the weapon she is holding as an "AK-47" stand, when it is decidedly not?
They didn't even have a decent enough picture to use when they did the 'hack n slash' photoshop bit... It's either a Crossman or Daisy Air Rifle for God's Sake... At least use a picture that (besides being off a ultra-skaggy trailer park dweller) has someone holding a REAL weapon... I mean c'mon people!

Posted by: Shoprat at September 10, 2008 08:22 PMMost of the Guardians of First Amendment Press Freedoms wouldn't be able to distinguish an AK47 from an air rifle.
Posted by: Zhombre at September 10, 2008 08:52 PMGeez oh Pete! The libtard whackjobs have outdone themselves again. Ain't none of these city boys got a lick o' sense huh? Can't even tell the diff between a airgun and a fire arm. And the fake wasn't investigated? Something wrong there too. The media is getting caught in too many lies. Think anybody but people that watch FOX know anything about that? Doubt it. The libs don't EVER admit to "mistakes".
