Public pops one to deep right … ohh, FOX News errors again!

This stuff is just too easy. I don’t watch FOX News 24/7 snooping out stuff to write about or looking for errors. But in the matter of four days without trying whatsoever, I’ve found errors aired on TV. The first was here, where Sean Hannity referenced a writer from the London Telegraph, calling him Iain Murray, when his real name is Iain Martin. Doesn’t mispelling, or in this case utterly mangling, a person’s last name constitute a slightly greater offense than misspelling a person’s first name?

FOX News stort on "tea bagging"

The second can be seen here. We can only hope Chad Peace’s name is correct, but his Web site address, as seen above, is not. It’s www.reteaparty.com with no space between “tea” and “party.” I discovered this because I actually wanted to go to teaparty.com and find out what this organization was all about, but when one visits www.teaparty.com, one discovers a musical act, not a political activist organization.

Now, I would wonder how many similar errors I would find if I was actively looking for them and actually watched the channel, rather than just viewing an occasional clip here and there. Can FOX News not find decent editors? We all know that over at FOX, it’s a rigged game from the get-go. Has this excluded the station from being able to acquire respectable people who care about getting paltry things like spellings correct? Probably. If you can’t get the little things right, you certainly can’t be trusted to get the big things right. But that point seems to be neither here nor there in FOX’s case, for it has proven time and again it can’t be trusted, in any case, period.
