So a reporter quoted something wrong and then publicly corrected himself.

Um.

This happens all the time.

I find it interesting that the reporter was smirking while saying the misquote.

Okay...that does seem to violate a degree of objectivism that ought to be upheld in the news media. I'll agree with that. I just think it's odd that it's being reported on that someone in the media misquoted something or someone and then made a correction.

It just isn't really news in my opinion...and if it is? Well...then there's going to be really long news broadcasts from now on about everyone else who does the same thing.

Do we really want to chastise a news network for correcting itself?

It's the other times that they report things erroneously and don't correct themselves, that we should be concerned with. And it's not just Fox that does it.

ALL media has an agenda, whether they admit it or not.

Obviously, this amounts to criminal fraud

@Wikipedia Said
In criminal law, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual; the related adjective is fraudulent. The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and also a civil law violation. Defrauding people or entities of money or valuables is a common purpose of fraud, but there have also been fraudulent "discoveries", e.g., in science, to gain prestige rather than immediate monetary gain.
A hoax also involves deception, but without the intention of gain or of damaging or depriving the victim.

Apart from fellating Obama, I am not sure how much nicer the mainstream media could be to him. I remember being subject here in Australia to the George Bush gaffs, but we never get the Obama ones - and it isn't that he doesn't make them, as he has made quite a few.

Singling out one media company as being biased, makes as much sense as saying we should listen to Hollywood actors when they talk politics.
