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?
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.
And not the first time they’ve done so.
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.
Thanks for the link. We’ll be keeping an eye on stuff like this.
