From the November 25 edition of Fox News' Live Desk:

Congressman John Shadegg (R) represents Arizona's 3rd congressional district.

Seriously, dudes. Life's way too short.
Probably some twenty-something at MMFA getting paid to sit and watch Fox for any kind of chyron error, no matter what it is or how insignificant. He has his job. His job is to see to it that some guy who probably can't afford it, loses his.
And it wasn't a case of a Republican in trouble being labeled a Democrat, which drives you guys crazy. It was a Republican Congressman being labeled a Republican Senator.
Good grief.
Seriously, it's up to them. And, apparently, they'd love to hear from you.
Have you, Victor? This your good deed for Thanksgiving?
"Hey Fox, fire somebody there for calling Shadegg a Senator instead of a Congressman. You said you would. C'mon."
How would you describe this incident such that you want someone you know nothing about to get the ax one day before Thanksgiving as some sort of sacrificial lamb?
Like it's our fault that he did it the day before Thanksgiving.
Stop playing the victim, or making someone else who is NOT a victim into a victim.
Someone made a mistake. He's not a victim. He's someone who made a mistake.
What's the offense? Who was harmed? What was the damage?
And that's just sad.
And that's just sad.
You were suggesting that FoxNews was a victim of us, when in fact it's their own policy. They aren't a victim, and so now you want to suggest that it's not a big deal? FoxNews is who gets to decide how big a deal it is, but in any case, they aren't a victim of MMFA! And that was my point, you dum-dum.
I hope your stuffing makes you sick tomorrow, so that you can spew real stuff tomorrow instead of polluting this site with your vomit.
Last night I happened to be watching MSNBC and the topic was the usual day before Thanksgiving report on how many people were expected to be travelling over the holiday. MSNBC went to a video of traffic congestion, and it was apparent that the video of long traffic lines was taken last summer based on the trees, plants and other factors. Why did they try to give the impression of heavy traffic the day before Thanksgiving with footage from last summer. I was watching PBS later that evening and also Fox and they both did the same things.
I was wondering if any of the eagle-eyed kids here in the comments or the ones at their monitors at MMFA would report on all three networks deceptions or if they would just bring up the Fox deception and demand that someone there be fired also.
I'm not claiming victimhood, DellDolly. I'm saying you and MMFA are being extremely petty in this instance because it is a totally insignificant and blatantly obvious mistake of absolutely no consequences to anyone whatsoever. Yet you folks seem to think it's important. The last Fox incidence was the same way; you thought you were all super-sleuths on the Palin book-signing incident but no one here or at MMFA could square how showing video of two different Palin rallies from the summertime was supposed to be a deception practice by Fox for a book signing in freezing cold Michigan. Nor could anyone explain why the videos they showed only had at most 15 people in one, and less than 10 people in the other, yet you claim they were trying to show bigger crowds than there actually were....when the actual crowd had 1,500- 2,000 people at it! You couldn't explain why Palin had on two different outfits from the two different Palin rally videos if they were trying to make the viewer believe the video snippets were from the booksigning, either. No, DellDolly, nobody thought at all logically about what they were claiming as Fx=ox being caught 'red-handed' trying to deceive.
Just like the Sparkman case, liberals tend to be paranoid conspiracy theoritsts who come to dire conclusions first when their theories fit things they desperately wish to be true. They jump to conclusions without thinking them through logically, and they expect people to take them seriously. When commonsense questions are asked on here about their conspiracy theories, all that is offered up is gobbledygook answers. Like I said, no one had an answer for how Fox could've been trying to be deceptive by showing 15 people in the background at the Palin rallies.
I won't get personal like you did, DellDolly, but no one is so blind as those who refuse to see.
On top of that, this has nothing to do with this posting. The posting is about Shadegg being incorrectly identified as a Senator, remember?
