On Tuesday, Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer asked Ron Paul to respond to the chorus of boos that greeted news the insurgent small-government Texas congressman had won the Conservative Political Action Conference's presidential straw poll for the second year in a row. There was just one problem with Hemmer's question: The vocal chorus of boos didn't come from last week's 2011 CPAC as the network claimed; rather those boos were from the 2010 conference.

You can watch the 2011 footage, followed by Paul's introduction on Fox this week with the 2010 footage, via the media news site Mediaite:

Fox faces fallout over misleading footage before Ron Paul interview - Yahoo! News
-------------------
In November 2009, Fox's Sean Hannity had Rep. Michele Bachmann on describing an anti-health care reform rally while airing footage from a significantly larger event led by Glenn Beck a few months earlier. Hannity apologized the next night for the mix-up, which was caught by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart. You can watch the Stewart report below:
Fox again aired the wrong crowd footage during a segment just a week later.

Fox's Greg Jarrett reported that Sarah Palin was "drawing huge crowds" while on a book tour. The footage, however, was actually from a larger 2008 campaign event. Fox's management chalked up the incorrect footage to a "production error." The network hired Palin soon after as a contributor.

here is what it did last time along with leftist networks:

Fox News = News channel for gullible dummies

P.S. Ron Paul for President

It's ironic how Ron Paul has become such a hit everywhere but Fox News. He takes the same damned message everywhere he goes and makes people think. He's got charm to boot.

The other big irony is that Fox News is operated very much like a state-run media outlet like the one in Egypt that finally broke down in the last couple weeks and admitted it could no longer continue lying to the public or distorting reality.

These so-called production mistakes are not mistakes. I know about editing, and you don't just happen to find the wrong footage like that, especially when you're dealing with real time footage. You'd be going into the editing room with all the stuff you've got from that weekend and then you'd have to actually go and insert that older footage by getting it from somewhere else other than the primary sources which is the footage from the actual event.

Those faulty crowd inserts were done on purpose and all three times they just happened to benefit the point of view that Fox News wanted to take on those stories.

I don't know why they don't just report things the way they are, but then that would give their audience the chance to actually make up their minds about something, and we all know that Fox doesn't want that to happen.

I read that Fox news used faked documents duiring the presidential campaign aimed at changing the result of teh campaign to have their favorite candidate win!

How are they Masters of Deception if someone noticed the "deception?" That would make them losers at deception. The Masters are the networks that dont get "caught". I dont see any reason to believe this was anything but a mistake. They arent trying to deny it, they issued a correction. Newspapers do this on a daily basis. Are they masters of deception too?

However, Fox denies any such deception. Michael Clemente, Fox's senior vice president of news, told Mediaite that "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."

Hemmer admitted the error on air today. "It's an honest mistake. We apologize for the error. We look forward to having Representative Paul back on our program very soon," he told viewers.

Also, the video may have been the wrong one, but the analaysis was still right.


Yet, even before the pollster could disclose the news, someone in the audience yelled: “Ron Paul!” The congressman’s supporters let out a loud cheer while his detractors booed just as loudly.

The same pattern took place when Fabrizio actually announced that Paul had won except as the pollster begin to explain the results a man yelled: “Now you’re going to minimize it!”

Another thing shown on the Daily Show was one of the talking heads on Faux news making a blatantly untrue statement. The next day, another Fox talking head elaborated on it, by calling it a story from a "Credible news source". Just a typical day from the unfair and completely unbalanced FOX?

Stewart nails them on an almost daily basis...

wtf...
I don't know why they don't just report things the way they are, but then that would give their audience the chance to actually make up their minds about something, and we all know that Fox doesn't want that to happen. Yeah like when CNN wants to tell us about the dangerous armed tea party racists and show us pictures of the armed man but are darned sure they don't show he's a man of color.

No bias outside of FOX, none at all...
