Indeed it is. Bill O'Reilly even covered it last night. FOX & Friends were spoofing the two guys in the picture for their reporting.

O'Reilly then presented caricatures of himself that the New York Times had taken liberty with.

Funny how liberals can do it, then are outraged when conservatives sling a little back at them.

Kudos to FOX.

You all realize this is a morney newstainment show. They do silly things all the time. it is unwatchable IMO...

But if you want to compare this to fake documents, and outright lies of the other news sources, be my guest.

Indeed it is, as I've pointed out in several posts now. Background noise while I read the paper.

Hard news for the liberals who lap up anything, and rush to post it as some sort of scandal.

Bill O'Reilly said the NYT caricature of him depicted a "horn." Where's the horn?

And don't you see the difference between an artist's rendering and something that is presented as an actual photograph?

So as of this late date, and after all the complaints documentaries and accusations......the best the "Fox News is" crowd can come up with, again, is that Fox News what? Showed doctored photos of people they were making fun of at the same time as they were making fun of them? OMFG!!! That Fox News once for thirty seconds had an "R" where a "D" should have been? That Fox News is guilty of a CNN/Eason Jordan/Baghdad sized actual example of journalism put on hold for profits sake? Something on the level of the Dan Rather/CBS evening news airing forged documents that their own staff doubted were real? Well no, it is the graphics don’t ya know?

Keep swinging away "Fox News is" crowd. That is one helluva an argument you got there. They used pictures at the same time as language to mock someone on a program known for doing the same. They used graphics in order to “fool” some of our societies more maundering citizens into believing Mark Foley was a democrat, even though they were referring to him at the same time as a republican. Why hell, according to one poster here at DP, they even used more “pretty” text to name McCain while using some kind of “ugly” looking text to name Obama.

Chuckle. You can’t make this stuff up.

Meanwhile, a Fox News thread is started about every week or less. Yet I can’t find anyone fixated upon the networks and news sources (far older than Fox) that have been caught, more than once, in actual situations that compromise their so called integrity. Fox News bad, other news good. Very similar to republicans bad and democrats good. And so the maundering chorus goes.

But please "Fox News is" crowd, do let us know when Fox News has admitted to spending a decade covering up stories of murder torture and corruption, so as not to lose their prestigious Baghdad office.

Fox tint your world and all you’ll see is Fox tint.

Were the two photos presented as spoofs, or were they presented as the real deal?

And O'Rielly is a known liar. He is not a reputable source.

I'm no nerdy comic book fan but...

....seems to me like the cartoon had nothing to do with 'horns' and something to do with O'Reilley being a cartoon.

Here, I even went to "liberal holy ground" to get you the transcript.

I love the haters, makes O'Reilly's show even more enjoyable. 90 months as the #1 cable news show.

I'm getting hooked on liberal links now, it's fun watching them have to admit things in order to remain legit...lol..
