Fox News Has No Shame (as Usual)

When Gov­er­nor Mark San­ford made his tear­ful Press Con­fer­ence announc­ing that he had secretly left the US to visit the woman he was hav­ing an affair with in Buenos Aires (and left his wife and sons over Father’s Day — Classy move, dude), Fox News decided that this was rea­son enough to switch his party affil­i­a­tion for him (notice the ‘D’ next to his name):

Mark Sanford Now a Democrat?

Mark San­ford Now a Democrat?

They later cor­rected it, but not after leav­ing this lie up a good long time.

Nice try.

Update: Appar­ently, they (Fox, that is) have indeed been at this a long time.

    Indeed. Some­times I think they have the matu­rity of an 8-year old. ‘Ooh, Democ­rats bad, Repub­li­cans good.’ must be the mantra they have to say before start­ing work each morning.
