Fox Edits Speech and is then OUTRAGED by the Results

Fox Doctors Hoffa Speech To Fabricate Call For Violence | Media Matters for America http://mediamatters.org/mobile/blog/201109050003

Henry made clear during that segment that Hoffa’s comments were references to voting out Republican members of Congress, not to violence. And roughly 20 minutes later, he explained on Twitter that the “full quote” of the “take these son of a bitches out” comment is “Everybody here’s got to vote. If we go back & keep the eye on the prize, let’s take these sons of bitches out”: But in a second segment that ran at roughly the same time as Henry’s tweet, Fox News dishonestly edited the speech in the manner seen above.

Andrew Breitbart’s Big sites, Real Clear Politics, The Daily Caller, the Media Research Center, and the Drudge Report have all highlighted that footage, using it to condemn “the violence emanating from union thug bosses” and demand that Obama “denounce” the comments.

And so it continues, with low information voters drawing the conclusion that its those evil Democrats who keep throwing out that violent rhetoric.
