Fox News has just been caught with its Underoos down around its ankles - again.
The channel posted a blurb on Twitter complaining about youths supposedly stampeding into a Washington, D.C., neighborhood and scaring all the gentrified yuppies there (who got tax breaks from the city to displace previous residents).
It turns out the clip they provided wasn't new footage at all. It was from an older incident, and they reused the footage to dramatize the story.
The FCC gives broadcasting licenses to outlets that distort news like this, and cable companies refuse to carry channels that offer a counterbalance. Fox News is the most infamous offender, but all the major so-called news channels on cable and all the major commercial networks practice similar distortion.
