Blatant Conservative Deception

Here's a case of Fox News blatantly lying and deceiving their viewers: @MediaMatters

That's modern conservatism for ya.  All you conservatives out there, don't bother claiming that this is some kind of isolated incident.  The very existence of conservapedia.org runs counter to that argument.  Here's a site that has the sole and quite candid purpose of being a place where conservatives can go to stick their heads in the sand.

Party of Lincoln to the party of Limbaugh.  What a joke.

Let me provide the entire story that Eric is alluding to, quoted from Media Matters (since John loves quoting other sources so much, I figured he'd appreciate this):

"During the March 16 edition of Fox News' The Live Desk, co-host Martha MacCallum claimed that "after weeks of economic doom and gloom, the Obama administration is now singing a slightly different tune. Take a look at what was said in recent interviews this weekend." Fox News then aired clips of administration officials purportedly giving an optimistic view of the economy, which included a clip of Joe Biden stating: "The fundamentals of the economy are strong." After the clips aired, MacCallum contrasted the administration's purported remarks from "this weekend" with what then-Sen. Obama said during the 2008 presidential campaign, when he criticized Sen. John McCain for stating that the "fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times." However, Biden did not make his remarks during an "interview[]" over the past weekend; Biden made his remarks at a September 15, 2008, campaign event, and, like Obama, was criticizing McCain for his remarks -- not echoing McCain. Think Progress also noted Fox News' editing of Biden's remarks."

HERE IS THE ACTUAL TRANSCRIPT: from the March 16 edition of Fox News' The Live Desk with Martha and Trace:

MacCALLUM: Well, after weeks of economic doom and gloom, the Obama administration is now singing a slightly different tune. Take a look at what was said in recent interviews this weekend.
[,,,]
BIDEN [video clip]: The fundamentals of the economy are strong.
[...]

MacCALLUM: All right. Well, the mantra for the weekend is clear, looking at what was said over the course of the shows on Sunday. [...]
Bill, you know, my ears perked up when I heard all that, because I remembered on the campaign trail how, you know, John McCain got lambasted for suggesting that the underlying fundamentals of the economy were still intact. And before you say what you're going to say, let's just play a little bit to remind everybody.

McCAIN [video clip]: The fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times.

[...]

MacCALLUM: So, Bill, a bit of a different tune -- I guess it's OK to say that now.

Hmmm. Not enouugh garbage out there aleady? "Fair and balanced" you say?
