"Fox News removes manipulated images from coverage of Seattle protests"

...

"The police-free environment has become an object of scorn for right-wing activists and President Trump. As protesters occupied a six-block area surrounding an abandoned police precinct — and as Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) promised to protect their First Amendment rights — Trump this week labeled them “domestic terrorists” and pledged to “take back” the city if state and local officials didn’t.

The occupation has been peaceful, with activists from around the city visiting the car-free streets for political speeches, concerts and free food. But Fox’s coverage contributed to the appearance of armed unrest. The misleading material spliced a June 10 photograph of an armed man at the Seattle protests with different photographs — one also from June 10, of a sign reading, “You Are Now Entering Free Cap Hill,” and others from images captured May 30 of a shattered storefront and other unrest downtown."

Have you got that picture, or news report to hand, OldeGuy?
Yes - today's Washington Post - I didn't bother bother giving it initially because the Post is considered Fake News by the conservative crowd -- and thoroughly hated by Trump

FOX needs to explain how this happened. But their are guards inside CHAZ.

Soony - Are you incapable of admitting your conservative group can be wrong?
It's sad when Fox news gets it wrong every now & then and we have to hear about it from the lefties, given that the leftist news organizations (and I use the term "news organization" loosely) get it wrong day in & day out. And yet I never hear them be the least bit critical about it. In fact they repeat and shout the lies & deceptions from the rooftops as if it's gospel.
Go figure .confused
So let me get this straight - the bigger wrong was the Washington Post catching deceptive news coverage generated by Fox News. IF the Post had not exposed them, then everything would be fine. IS that it?
How about the Washington Post four Pincchios - are those equally at fault for fact distortions.
Would the world be a better place if we only heard from the extreme right news media?
Ach, du lieber zeit! (as my mother would say)
jac - das ist richtig !! laugh
So, are the Angels still going?
Yeah, and Trump lies "now & then"..... all ~ 11,000 times.
Apparently, the new definition of "now & then" is - much too frequently. thumbs down
I heard about this last week..Listened to how FOX news used wallpaper..When media outlets do that it's called wallpaper.
