If you are like thousands of others, you have no doubt seen an iconic photo of Baltimore burning. The image began circulating throughout social media after a local Fox affiliate in Memphis, Tennessee apparently first ran it. Some other mainstream media outlets even shared the image, using it with headlines that said “Baltimore is Burning” and referenced a “purge”. The only problem is it wasn’t from Baltimore. That’s right, the image was taken from Venezuela, not Baltimore. But for those who accepted Fox’s rendition of the story uncritically, the image became burned into their minds as being a scene of devastation in Baltimore. On April 27th, local FOX13 claimed the photo of the fires burning everything except the golden arches at McDonalds was “Baltimore In Flames.” Reverb Nation notes that one viewer noticed the image and placed it right away. They thought the image looked familiar, and pointed out that the story on the CVS burning was not Baltimore at all. The Imgur user said: “Now I understand why people mock Fox news so much…” After racking up tens of thousands of views, Fox acknowledged the “error,” saying: “Our team didn’t fact check the picture the way we should have.” Just imagine if Fox hadn’t been called out on this? How many more stations would continue to run it as an actual image of Baltimore in flames? Just imagine how much else they are lying to us about!
Poster Comment: Fox News supports Hugo Chavez's storm troopers too. Crush the peons, all power to the almighty State! /s

This pic was from a small local Fox affiliate, not Fox News Channel. Apparently, it ran a few times elsewhere before they sorted out the error.
Thank you for straightening out that which was no small point. IT. WAS. AN. AFFILIATE of FOX. NOT 'FOX NEWS.' Everyone should note that neither CNN or that other national Leftist-Dem propaganda outlet, MSNBC, have "affiliates." For more context, Uncle Walter, Dan Rather, Brian Williams, and Peter Jennings were ALL liars for CBS, NBC, and ABC respectively at the national news level.
The traditional broadcast networks NBC, CBS, ABC, etc all have affiliates around the nation. FOX is no better than the rest. O'Reily, Hannity, etc are certainly no better than the others either. Alternative media is growing, these official establishment propaganda outlets are dying.
Yes, and they all cary theere respective affiliations newtwork news broadcasts as well as the respective morning shows. The affilate Fox stations do not do that. The Fox affilaites have there own local news. They do not broadcast a national news show as does MNC, ABC and CBS affiliates. Need I need to remind the EVRY NBC affilaite aired this false NBC News edited story? "In a grotesque and apparently malicious act of misreporting, NBC, in multiple broadcasts, aired doctored, heavily edited versions of the 911 call, misleadingly moving around Zimmerman’s words like a Rubik’s Cube. The result gave a false impression of the tragic incident in which Zimmerman shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, and it exposed Zimmerman to the hatred, scorn and contempt of millions of viewers. Zimmerman is suing NBC and the network is fighting back. But the network’s actions, and its responses to complaints, indicate it willfully and knowingly damaged Zimmerman’s reputation."
General rule of thumb for the MSM... if they're broadcasting, they're lying.
So in *your* mind Sean Hannity = Al Sharpton?

It's unlikely that Al voted for Willie-Mitt, so he's slightly ahead of that F'n retard Hannity. At least he's not responsible for encouraging any queer Republicans, to appear on future ballots.
