One of my favorite things to do is to catch Fox News lying or directly corrupting the truth for their own purposes, and this one SINGS.

The media sting happened first at Media Matters.  In the Media Matters article, “Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters,” Wednesday, July 2 2008, you can read the transcript, watch the video clip, and see the photos.

Co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade of the Fox News Show, Fox & Friends, should be noted for their lack of journalistic integrity and their willingness (implicitly or explicitly) for purporting lies on behalf of themselves and/or the Fox News Network.

Editor and Publisher has another review of the incident here.

Not sure how I missed this one, but here is another funny from the Bush Administration and Karl Rove. In this instance, Karl Rove is caught trying to revise history (documented by the Huffington Post) to be more convenient for his self-exoneration from his contributions to the Bush Administration’s illegal Iraq War.

In this specific video clip commemorated on the Huffington Post, Karl Rove has a nice list of mis-quotes from Tom Daschle (D-SD) that supposedly supports his claim. His lies are rebutted point for point, until Chris Van Hollen quoted the Bush Administration’s own Ari Fleischer as saying, “It was definitely the Bush administration that set it in motion and determined the timing, not the Congress. I think Karl in this instance just has his facts wrong.”

Thanks to the Huffington Post for catching this one.

Watch the video.
