EDIT: Note the update to the story

Fox News claims airing deceptive footage was just a 'mistake'

Fox News' Senior Vice President of News Michael Clemente told Mediate that the network simply made a "mistake" when it aired old footage of Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) being booed.

"We made a mistake with some of the video we aired, and plan on issuing a correction on America’s Newsroom tomorrow morning explaining exactly what happened," he said.

This is blowing up. Doing a search for ["ron paul" fox cpac] in google news shows about 20 stories already, they started pouring out about 3 hours ago.

 

[Immortal Technique]

we managed to get some what of an apology in under 24 hours
Granted we still have not received it yet but pretty impressive none the less

 

[squarepusher]

apology = saying it was a mistake? maybe, or maybe not

 

[specsaregood]

I wonder if their "apology" will include playing the announcement from THIS year? I'd wager not.

Probably not.

I'll bet ya they DO play this announcement from THIS year, and the follow that up with one of their drones saying, "Quite a different response from last year, due to hundreds of Ron Paulites crowding the room to cheer for him."

This is great. More positive exposure for Ron. Everyone that hates Fox (which is everyone) will be picking up this story.
