Breitbart, Fox Nation defend Bachmann and blame CNN for something Fox News did

[danarhea]

When Fox Nation and Andrew Breitbart team up for an attack, you can start counting down the seconds until the story begins to unravel. In this edition of bumbling from the conservative media, Breitbart's Bretibart.tv has posted video of Rep. Michele Bachmann's Tea Party Express response to the State of the Union along with the claim that the off-kilter look of the video was "sabotage" by CNN. Breitbart claimed that CNN provided its own camera to the side of Bachmann, which it used for the network feed of the proceedings. For comparison, Breitbart embeded the Tea Party Express feed, which is a head-on view of Bachmann.

Here is the funny part. The feed was not from CNN at all, but from FOX News. Here is the timeline of events:

1) FOX News runs a feed for Michelle Bachman.

2) Andrew Breitbart accuses CNN of running the feed, with the motive of making Bachman look bad.

3) FOX News runs Breitbart's story.

4) FOX News learns that it was them, not CNN, that ran the feed in question.

5) FOX News ends up with enough egg on it's face to make omelets for everybody.

I am now assuming that FOX News will next run a headline that reads "Radical Liberal, Andrew Breitbart, infiltrates FOX News, at the request of Barack Obama, George Soros, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree, in order to make the network look bad". :mrgreen:

To FOX News - Next time you see a good political story out there, you might want to double check your facts before butt ****ing yourselves on national television. LOL.

Dude... Fox News ran a story calling the person who owns the second largest portion of their own company a terrorist. They did not even care about it. They, of course, did not name the guy who they were calling a terrorist, but they did show his picture.

Fox News has no interest in reporting news. Clearly. How could they possibly care about reporting news if they are accusing people of funding a terrorist while they themselves fund the same person?

Fox News will lie about anything because they know that most of their listeners don't research anything.

Don't get all huffy because Fox is kicking your precious little CNN's ass.

Media Matters, eh? Anyone who questions me again about what I've always said, is an imbecile.

From what I understand, CNN refused to broadcast the TP feed in a phony act of "fairness", and the additional camera was there for that purpose. Brilliant. I was not aware a camera used by a network has a more balanced lens.

Why did they use a Fox camera then?

SNL did a skit last week that apparently played off on this technical confusion. Hadn't seen the Bachman speech so I didn't make the connection at the time. (but it was still funny)

Glad to hear we have controversy brewin'. Hate to waste an opportunity for a good conspiracy battle.....

Maybe you should read the OP before posting. Your 'understanding' is false. A misunderstanding.

Um, sorry, but you misread the story... or were misinformed by your far-right masters.

Try again... Read slow. You'll get it.

Snark and stupidty- awesome combo, chmipy.

They(CNN) would not use the Tea Pary camera feed, they used FOX because it is a news source.

And no one else gives a hang what your little rants have to offer, so skulk off, kitten.

So you are denying this happened? I need a yes or no answer from you. Or is this another one of your patented hit and run troll posts?

I don't watch CNN, MSNBC, or any of those news networks. I generally pick my news up from different sources online, the AP, and NPR. I watch the Daily Show as well, though that is not news as much as it is him making fun of Fox for being the worst station on the face of the planet.

Nice straw man though. It does not take away from the fact that Fox clearly does not care about reporting news.

You heard incorrectly. CNN used the feed provided by Fox News. It is the same feed Fox News aired and it is not their fault (Fox or CNN) that Bachmann chose to look into a different camera that almost no one would see.

I love it. A conservative sticking up for a "news" outlet even when its been proven multiple times how corrupt, bias and false they are. That shows real thinking skills :roll:

Exactly, but it is FOX fault that they chose to look like idiots later on. LOL.

I guess the masses don't believe the "proof", cause they watch Fox more than the Communist News Network.
