    Default A must see- FoxNews alters photos to the extreme

    It is just too funny that they thought they could get away with this and have no one notice. Especially with the first photo. I mean I know it's FoxNews and that they aren't exactly known for honest reporting but this one is just so out there it's hard not to laugh my ass off. It's so wacky I just couldn't not share

    I actually saw that on TV! Hubby was flipping channels a while back and stopped on Fox and yelled for me to come and look at how retarded the first guy looked. He thought it looked like they had photoshopped him into a Muppet. I can't believe they did that. They made him look as if he had a bone or cartilidge growth disorder or something.

    I don't get WHY.

    And omg, making a Jew's nose bigger. I wonder if they realized the racist implications of that.

    Glad to have given some of you a giggle today! As for why they did it the article says:

    "Why has Rupert Murdoch's flagship television network stooped to such tactics? The Times had the audacity to run a piece about Fox's recent poor ratings performance."

    FoxNews just wanted to try and make those two guys look bad. Basic revenge was the motivation. Oh and I am quite sure they were aware of the racist implications in regards to the man with the Jewish surname. FoxNews isn't exactly the most ethical of cable channels

    Below is a link to the New York Times' article Fox News found so offensive. It's pretty tame IMO, and hardly a "hit" piece as Fox & Friends described it. I don't want to get into a nasty political discussion, but the article really didn't warrant this kind of response from Fox.

    Even if it was a "hit" piece it still wouldn't warrent doctoring photos. But hey that's FoxNews for ya!

    Yes Fox News is evil, but beyond that, think about the employee who actually did the photoshopping. What an asshole. I woulda quit right then.

    And you don't think there was some producer over his shoulder helping him out, telling him what to do?

    That's some of the worst Photoshop I've ever seen. In addition to the nose, they made that guy's chin huge, lowered his hairline and made his teeth yellow. And then the other guy has the worst forehead cloning job in the world. It's like they were begging to be caught.

    My background in TV. If someone produced that, then the director, associate director, director of art would have caught it and most-likely wouldn't have put it up. I'm sure either the director, or, more likely the producer told his staff to do something like that.

    If anything were to happen at Fox for that, then the 1st person to be fired would be the artists if the artist did it. If the producer did it, then they would be suspended.

    Ofcourse this is fox and they aren't going to do anything at all.

    Overall in TV everyone is "told" to do something from the producer down; no one does anything on their own during a broadcase, including the talent.

    After seeing some clips of Fox News I can't believe that something like that is even allowed to operate in a Western country. It's total right wing propaganda and that kind of photoshopping is the modern version of this.

    ^ Well, freedom of the press for one thing. They suck majorly, but I'd rather have them around than live in a place where they wouldn't be allowed to operate.

    Freedom of the press is one thing, however, racism is another.....

    Freedom of the press is a moot point now, all the mainstream media is now controlled by the large corporations who bankroll the politicians to do thier bidding.

    It's a shame because without a well-informed populace who get access to the facts democracy is impossible.
