See anything wrong with this graphic? The O'Reilly Factor ran it in not one, but two segments and posted it three times. I can understand if FOX and The Factor made an error the first time, but to post it repeatedly should be a firing offense, The most watched show on FOX News has now labeled the former Republican Congressman Mark Foley, who is in the middle of a sexual predator scandal that has Hastert's career on the ropes —a Democrat. Was it an error or done by choice? I report–you decide.

With the way that this issue has been granted top billing by about every media outlet, I would vote "error", because nobody, absolutely nobody, would possibly see that and make the mistake that Foley was a Democrat.

Good catch...

That's funny, because before I read your post, I was going to mention how I have 3 bosses ( the company owners ) and one of them was talking about Foley and said, "well, and he's a democrat, so there you go."

And I said, "Let me guess, you watched O'reilly last night."

"How did you know that?"

starting to surf the liberal blogs huh cheese? :disa:

[Cheesypuff]

liberal blogs caught this?!?? MY GOODNESS....whatever would we do with both sides of the story? I get my news from multiple sources. liberal...and not so liberal. =)

lets just keep it green man. =)

dude...clutch...you should come to hong kong land and visit me. that'll be fun

plus...bringing up liberal blogs is such a red herring. if any other place stated a person was a Dem instead of a Rep (or vice versa). I would post it here also.

And coming from an "unbiased" medium (such as fox) doesn't sway my beliefs. I see beyond the political lines.

Good catch...

:stupid:

Most folks probably missed it.

With that said, I'll vote error. FWIW, I'd vote error if it was CNN or MSNBC as well.

if it were on CNN or MSNBC, I would vote error if it was done ONCE! BUT TWICE?!?!?! 2 SEGMENTS?!?!? any media that posts it twice...well...you know

if it were "liberal media" that made the error twice, I'd put it to question also.

[ShawnLee]

Eh, error. I call error. I thought it was amusing when MSNBC made a bunch of "partisan" mistakes, and CNN's most amusing one was when they X'ed out the President (or something like that). As much as I'd like to call liberal bias, it was an error.

This, it's a stupid mistake. Not smart at all, but still a mistake.

No, the liberal media just amde the mistake of calling him a child molester when the page in question was 18 at the time. No biggie there...

[jstreet]

Keep saying it's the liberal media -- I believe it was the arch-conservative Washington Times that called for Hastert's resignation over the whole debacle.

Furthermore, there was more than just one page (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/04/AR2006100402002.html) -- Justice Department says more than 2, fewer than 6 at this point.

Have you been living in a cave?

[InfiniteNothing]

I suppose a cubicle is a bit cave like ;) Please, illuminate this dark cave with a blip from a media outlet you don't like.

[LPMiller]

I'm sure it was a mistake, but considering it's not a live show, and that they haven't said anything about the mistake, makes it look really bad.
