Did Foxnews intentionally use file footage to deceive its viewers?

Foxnews has used old file footage for many of its current news "stories". They keep claiming production error when they are exposed. How many think this is deceptive and deliberate?

    comrade, thats completely different. fox is purposely saying "this is footage from this date" when its not true. no other "news" station does that. infact faux news is the ONLY "news" station that continually lies on a day to day basis to trick their simple minded viewers into following along against the good of the country. they have tricked the elderly, those who depend so much on government run medicare, into holding up signs against government run healthcare. these "super americans" are actually anti-americans who hope for our president and all policies for bettering our country to fail just so they can say they are right.

    now thats a real FAIL.

    That's the M.O. of Fox.

    Search Fox on Huffington Post and Media Matters for a lot more instances.

    Jon Stewart recently busted Sean Hannity for doing this as well.

    Of course they did!

    I stopped giving them the "benefit of the doubt" years ago.

    They're liars and propagandists, simply put.

    How stupid do they think people are to keep doing this and trying to pass it off as a "technical mistake?"

    Okay, maybe they can convince their viewers because they don't care about facts, but the rest of us do -- so shape up, Fox cult!

  • How funny....ABC-NBC-CBS has hordes of ARCHIVED film they trot out daily and you are concerned that someone else is stealing their tricks...HOW FUNNY...

    Liberals...

    AS Ronnie said..."It isn't that the left doesn't know anything, it's just that what they know ISN'T TRUE."
