Basically Foxnews played a clip from 2010 where CPAC was filled with Romney supporters and Ron Paul was getting boo'd, and passed it off as the results of this year.

Yeah, that's a tough call.

[NOOB]

I have not even glimpsed at fox news since the election of 08. They ruined me on their coverage of Ron Paul. I can't say that I miss it either.

Ares,

I just want to chime in and say "thanks." I am spreading this video around.

What a sham.

News channel deceptively represented Paul’s 2011 CPAC straw poll victory with footage from 2010 event at which Mitt Romney supporters had loudly booed result

In a shocking act of mass public deception, Fox News attempted to skew Ron Paul’s 2011 CPAC straw poll win by representing it with footage from the previous year’s CPAC event, at which Mitt Romney supporters had loudly booed the result, another example of the continuing dirty tricks campaign being waged against Paul by the establishment media.

Congressman Paul replicated his 2010 victory over Mitt Romney by defeating the former Governor of Massachusetts for a second consecutive year at the annual CPAC conference.

However, before anchor Bill Hemmer introduced a segment concerning the story, Fox News played a clip of the 2010 announcement of the poll results, during which Mitt Romney supporters had loudly booed Ron Paul’s victory, passing off last year’s footage as representative of this year’s event.

Hemmer then proceeded to state, “In the end he was the winner, probably not the reaction he was hoping for,” describing the reaction as “mixed applause and boos,” before directly asking Ron Paul if he knew who was booing him.

“Who was in the audience booing you, did you get a name, did you get an ID on those people?” asked Hemmer.

In reality, there were hardly any boos after Ron Paul was announced as the 2011 CPAC winner, the result was met with a massively positive reaction, only Fox News deemed it necessary to hide that fact from their viewers. The video clip above shows the real footage from the 2011 event, proving that Fox News had attempted to deceive Americans into thinking that Paul’s victory was unpopular, by deliberately using the wrong footage.

A separate We Are Change Oklahoma clip of the 2011 straw poll victory confirms that Paul’s win was met overwhelmingly by a loud chorus of cheers and applause.

This is the second time in the space of a week that Fox News has deliberately used dirty tricks to try and ostracize Ron Paul by discrediting the legitimacy of his potential candidacy for president.

A Fox News poll released earlier this week which asked who would make the best president included many of the potential candidates that Ron Paul trounced in the CPAC straw poll, yet the Congressman’s name was not even included in the survey.

Exemplifying again how the establishment consistently tries to derail Paul’s momentum by ignoring his very existence, obscure names like John Thune and Jon Huntsman were included in the Fox poll and yet Paul was omitted entirely.

While Fox News continues to act as an accommodating platform for the pied pipers of the hijacked tea party movement, people like Tea Party Caucus leader Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin, real conservatives like Ron Paul and his son Senator Rand Paul are subject to dirty tricks and underhanded ploys.

Given the energetic power of his grass roots base, the establishment is scared to death of Ron Paul building any kind of momentum as the 2012 campaign race nears, which is why they have to resort to pulling stunts like this to hoax the American people into thinking that the message of liberty and freedom is unpopular, when in reality it is spreading like wildfire and would completely overrun the status quo if Ron Paul was allowed to communicate on a level playing field.

One of the most amazing acts of across the board the Canadian corporate and government media organized propaganda and deception was the total absence of even mentioning Ron Paul when he ran for president. All other candidates got much coverage, even the two candidates who had less votes and dropped out before Paul did.

Faux Snooze folks...noting to see here.

Good News!

The story is beginning to get some legs.

The Texas Republican, who won this year’s 2011 CPAC presidential straw poll, appeared on Fox on Monday following the win. Mr. Paul won the poll with 30 percent of the vote.

Fox News is now drawing fire for its editing of a clip shown to Mr. Paul during that appearance, in which the crowd boos and jeers the Texas Republican. However, the footage that Fox News used was actually from the 2010 conference, which was dominated by supporters of former Massachusetts Governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Mr. Paul, who is considering a run for president, did not issue a statement regarding the incident. The Texas Republican said earlier this year that he will run for president “only if I think I can win.”

Fox News Senior Vice President Michael Clemente issued the following statement:

“We made a mistake with some of the video we aired, and plan on issuing a correction on America’s Newsroom tomorrow morning explaining exactly what happened.”

I thinking fox news will blame it on one of their interns, saying it got stored away, and later the wrong clip was pulled.

Damn interns!

FOX News Again Uses False Footage to Bolster the Republican Party (http://blogcritics.org/politics/article/fox-news-again-uses-false-footage/)


Author: Glenn Contrarian - Nov 19, 2009

Just yesterday, ThinkProgress.org caught FOX News showing what was clearly footage of a 2008 Sarah Palin campaign rally but claiming that it was video of "huge crowds" attending Palin's book tour. Of course, FOX network execs immediately declared that the incident was simply 'an innocent mix-up.'

Sure, news networks make mistakes — but no other mainstream media network has made nearly so many 'mistakes' in so short a period of time as has FOX News. Not only that, but ALL of FOX News' "mistakes" were made in such a way that - if the mistakes hadn't been caught - would have supported the Republican party.

[ximmy]

Tape was switched... It was an "honest" mistake folks, nothing to write home about... move along...

"Fox news" and "honest" in the same sentence, lol. Fox is the antithesis and absolute oxymoron to the word honest and gives the word honest a bad name.

[Bullion_Bob]

Wow, that was the cheapest scumbag tactic I've ever seen on something that calls itself a news channel.

Brutal.
