(YouTube) Hey look, Fox News muckraking and ludicrously biased reporting!
Topic: Politics and Law 7:30 am EDT, Jul 28, 2006

If you ever had the slightest doubt that Fox News was reporting a load of biased sensationalism, well, let's just go ahead and remove that.

Someone put together a very nice bit showing just how far they went to take something from the Colbert Report not only out of context, but also re-cut it so as to omit key parts of what they were essentially quoting.

You know, in print it's kind of required to sprinkle a lot of "[...]" in text when you edit quotes but apparently no such requirement or even ethical consideration exists with television news. They might as well have printed "Senator Wexler was quoted as saying 'I [...] like to [...] have sex [...] with [...] my own sister'", but without the ellipses.

For the bonus points, here's also the link of Colbert firing a salvo back at the idiot morning programs for reporting incorrectly on the issue, using part of Fox's misbegotten video.
