You're still fixated on trying to come up with plausible justifications as mistakes for these individual examples instead of being able to see the overall picture of the patterns of their body of work. You're trying to excuse it by saying other news outlets also make mistakes. All you have...

Fuel mileage would easily make up that $5000 difference.

I was wondering if you, someone who used to edit video professionally, was going to chime in on the absurdity of two separate audio streams and two separate video streams somehow getting accidentally mixed up with each other and miraculously being in perfect synch with each other.

Fox News is missing a golden opportunity to hire you for their PR department. Yes, I assert that the Ron Paul footage was a lie. Not based on that one isolated incident, but based on their body of work and on their established pattern of lying about stories to push an agenda. It could very...

No, I don't have a link to a story or a video. If I did I would have posted it instead of saying that I distinctly remember it. That's your guess because you want to defend this as an innocent mistake or as somehow otherwise being fair and balanced. Smith did not credit or mention Savage in any...

The Maisto Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) RQ-1 Predator has been flying off the shelves faster than Tickle Me Elmo. It's now already sold out at Amazon. The 6" x 3-½" x 1" 1:97 scale $49.99 toy is a replica of the RQ-1 Predator, an unmanned aircraft that the U.S. Air Force has used in combat...

Libel is defined as defamation. A lie in and of itself does not constitute libel. The untruth must also do harm to the person or their reputation for it to be libel. There is nothing libelous in the OP.

A professional looking generator mount isn't really unprofessional looking. A portable generator hanging out the side door tethered by a power cord and bouncing down the road as you drive, that's unprofessional (something I saw last summer). But I agree that a window air conditioner sticking...

There is nothing to vet. If names were mentioned or any libelous issues were mentioned, then it would need vetting and would be inappropriate for a forum like this.

You're comparing a used van with a new Sprinter? Really? Well, you can also buy a used Sprinter for $10,000 and haul freight for $1, and another person can buy a new cargo van for $38,000 and haul freight for $1. Seems like a tall price to pay to avoid owning a Sprinter. <snort>

Well, if you want to defend their actions or let it slide, then I suppose it is far-fetched. If you want to look at it as an isolated and rare incident, then it's also far-fetched. But if you look at it in the scope of their body of work, it's no longer isolated, it's a pattern of distorting the...

It may very well be implied, but the meaning of the quote changes, and the context changes when it's said out loud. It added meaning, which is not what a paraphrase is. It's editorial comment, not a quote. It's just one example, out of many, of subtly and not-so subtly skewing the truth.

That sentence give the defining parameters for the meaning of tradition. But Fox News didn't do that, they simply said Obama broke with tradition. They qualified it somewhat in the print article, well down below the all-important first four paragraphs, of course, but the meaning they wanted to...

You're working awfully hard to defend what is, at the very least, incompetence. A tradition of recent past presidents? That's how narrow you have to get to justify their reporting and redefine what a tradition traditionally means? The Fox News Web report is far different from how they treated...

And you believe their story and their apology? They played that video several times over several days (the 14th, 15th and 16th) and didn't pull it and apologize until other news outlet said something about it and the Internet exploded. Their track record on the truth doesn't engender blind...

That reptilian video misses the mark slightly on a couple of them, but for the most part that's exactly it. Tried and true techniques that are taught in advertising and marketing classes in college. There are plenty of books on the subject out there, as well. Very few ads or promos are left to...

But it's not the Kool-Aid talking, and if you're even remotely as intelligent as I think you are and you've paid attention to what I've posted over the years, then you already know that. If my post above wasn't something you can understand, then I'll explain it to you like this: I don't trust...

I once hauled a couple of barrels of something or another that was temperature sensitive. It was critical that the freight not be subjected to temperatures below 40 degrees F. Because of that, the load paid nearly triple what it would have otherwise. It picked up in Houston and delivered to New...

That's the Kool-Aid talking. They've flourished because they preach to the choir, as the polling unambiguously shows. Fox presents other points of view specifically to "set 'em up and knock 'em down," which is precisely what the choir loves. Exactly. People believed him, people trusted him. He...

A great many successful kludges are the result of bright ideas by bright people. Still a kludge, though. :D
