Fox News Channel Hilarity

I'm pretty sure we've seen Fox do this before. Put a 'D' after a Republican's name, when that Republican is in some kind of trouble.

From Media Matters:

Sanford (D)


Yeah. Here's another time they did the same thing. Remember Republican, Mark Foley?

When Fox doesn't like a Republican, or perhaps it is simply a case of Conservatives making a funny, they attach a 'D' to their name on their Conservative news channel.

From The Brad Blog:

Three different times. In two different segements. Each cutaway about 15 seconds or more. Showing Foley as a DEMOCRAT. Amazing.

Update, Thursday, June 25, 2009

Crooks and Liars has more and far superior research skills than me.

Here's a short list of Fox's chyron hackery:

John McCain - Democrat
Joe Lieberman - Democrat
Arlen Spector - Democrat (when he was still a Republican!)
Mark Foley - Democrat

Digg!
