Not a week after they ran fake footage of pro-conservative protest footage, Fox News does it again and runs old footage of Palin during her campaign to give the impression that people are flocking to her book signings.
When do people start to recognize this and turn away from Fox News as a reliable news outlet?
I doubt people will because the Fox News fan base are the uneducated masses looking for entertainment and conflict, not news.
It's much easier to believe something factually incorrect but spectacular than something true but boring.
Fox News should quickly change their slogan from "Fair and Balanced" to "News Doesn't Happen, We Make It Happen!"
Or, as Jon Stewart says below, "We Alter Reality."
And for more on Fox News, check this out. And of course, here is the faked Palin footage:

FOX News At It Again!

Look Out, Fat People.
Wow, this is quite the story! People were killed for their fat which was then sold to cosmetic companies.
Even more bizarre is that the group committing the murders took their gang name from an ancient Peruvian legend of killers who also were after fat.
Why were ancient Peruvians so interested in human fat?

Deep
I was listening to the radio the other day and they were interviewing Andre Aggassi and talking about his new book "Open."
One thing he said that was interesting was how profound the difference was between the collections of stories from his life and the story of his life.
He worked with J.R. Moehringer to write the book and Aggassi said he was struck by how Moehringer really pulled the story of his life out of the stories from his life.
I think everyone should sit back and think about the story of their life, both as it has played out in the past and how you want it to play out in the future.

Fox News Caught In The Act!

Most Interesting Man In The World
My new favorite commercial and new fodder for my Facebook status is the Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man In The World" commercial. Here are some quotes. Fantastic!
"Stay thirsty, my friends."
He has been known to cure narcolepsy, just by walking into the room.
His organ donation card, also lists his beard.
He’s a lover, not a fighter, but he’s also a fighter, so don’t get any ideas.
When it is raining, it is because he is sad.
Even his parents’ advice is insightful.
If there were an interesting gland, his would be larger than most men’s entire lower intestines.
His shirts never wrinkle.
He is left-handed. And right-handed.
Even if he forgets to put postage on his mail, it gets there.
He once knew a call was a wrong number, even though the person on the other end wouldn’t admit it.
You can see his charisma from space.
The police often question him, just because they find him interesting.
He once punched a magician. That’s right. You heard me.
When he orders a salad, he gets the dressing right there on top of the salad, where it belongs…where there is no turning back.
If a monument was built in his honor, Mt. Rushmore would close, due to poor attendance.
His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man’s entire body.
His blood smells like cologne.
On every continent in the world, there is a sandwich named after him.
He doesn’t believe in using oven mitts, nor potholders.
His cereal never gets soggy. It sits there, staying crispy, just for him.
His pillow talk is years ahead of it’s time.
Respected archaeologists fight over his discarded apple cores.
He is The Most Interesting Man In The World.
