"On the July 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," claiming that Steinberg's June 28 article on the "ominous trend" in Fox News' ratings was a "hit piece." During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered"

You can see the pictures on the link provided here in both original and altered form, the video clip is also here:

Media Matters

Perhaps they were trying to be funny, but they did not give any indication that they had altered the photos, which is dishonest.

Pretty low blow and if you watch the piece they are just trying to discredit the writer and his boss, I guess the altered photos were little flourishes to aid their cause, whatever that is.

Even rabid Faux fans consider that morning crew to be clowns. Steve Doccy? Come one, he's just a half assed Weather guy

Steve Doocy and the brown haired guy who isn't Steve Doocey are both assclowns. But anyone on Fox calling out another media outlet for bias is just too funny.

If they wanted to play games they should have added horns or something that would be obvious, instead of subtle changes that their 90 year old viewers probably can't discern.

If you tune into Faux, you know what kind of bullshit you'll be getting. If you believe anything you hear on Faux, you're probably on a quick path to a Darwin award. :p

Why? Because it's true. Fox News wouldn't be around if the other media outlets weren't so biased.

Yeah they would and they'd be just as popular with your ilk because they tell you what you want to hear.

The "hit piece" they were responding to: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06....html?_r=1&oref=slogin

It's 95% a report of Nielsen ratings. In one paragraph the author does assert Fox presents anti-Obama sentiment, but I can't square this with the sort of response Doocey came up with. And it certainly doesn't qualify chopping photos.

Therein lies the real problem because quite frankly tons of people out there cannot tell a photchop when they see it.

This is another Fox lame lie.

Nice, we're back in 'hurf blurf media bias' territory again. The media as a whole is not biased, the end.

That's by far the funniest thing I've read all damn week.


I must say however, I am given great hope by the fact that up to this point only one person has tried to paint a pretty picture of this. At least in the online realm people are starting to get a clue. Problem is, how do you get to the rest of the tools out there taking everything Fox tells them as the gospel? Fox surely isn't going to air a piece about it now are they?

People like Bladevenom are part of this confused new group of moral relativists who believe the truth is a question of political expedience.

Here's how fox news works.


1. A baby is found brutally murdered.
2. There is a videotape of George W. bush clearly stomping said baby, turning to the camera, and stating, "I'm george dublya bush and I declare under penalty of perjury that I am stomping this here baby to death.
3. the "EVIL LIBERAL MEDIA!!!" plays the video
4. Fox news does not show the video . Instead, fox news declares people must reserve judgment until everybody gets all the facts. IN the meanwhile, they start reporting that one of the baby's uncles served time in prison. They post pictures of the baby making "terrorist fist jabs" with a pacifier, report that the baby may have met with mohamed atta in prague.
5. Right wingers rejoice as fox has brought balance and fairness to their lives.

Yeah they would and they'd be just as popular with your ilk because they tell you what you want to hear.

You're just to brainwashed to face the truth. Fox news isn't as bad as CBS and Rathergate.

So what was wrong with just airing the story? Why the need to alter the faces, teeth and hair of the journalists?

Everyone seems to forget the last pic should both head sloppy placed on a dog and its owner - seems that this was a humor piece. Fox and Fiends is more like Good Morning America, not the daily news desk.
