Oh, that is hilarious. Faux News messes up again.
Edited on Tue Dec-02-03 10:17 PM by northwest
Greta Van Susteren was talking about that missing UND student and that suspect with a Grand Forks police sergeant on her piece of crap show (now, I NEVER watch Faux News, but I was flipping channels, and the big local story was on that show, so don't pelt me with tomatoes).

The caption on the bottom said that she was a student at North Dakota State University.

What makes this particularly funny to me as an NDSU student, and makes me in a way proud, is that the national press has made that mistake before. In the 2001 Division II national football championship between UND and Grand Valley State, the official fliers for the press and the press badges they recieved said "Grand Valley State vs. North Dakota State".

Maybe it's because people across the country have only heard of NDSU and not UND, that UND has never contibuted anything worthwhile to society, and that the University of North Dakota is completely insignificant in the nation's eyes.

We're already a more famous university, so it's natural for that mistake to be made.

I just want to let you folks at UND know that NDSU isn't gonna be fighting your battles for you.

I'm ready for the retaliation from you, Alex Covington. (You know I'm being tongue-in-cheek anyway.):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

1. Fox news could care less with the Facts..
I have heard on on Fox show that they siad that people dont want to be informed...Fox news has the most SLOPPY reporting ive ever seen..The only reason they are where they are today is beacuse of its blatent ass kissing of the GOP..And covering up anything they do in the big scam on the american people.
How else can you explian Geroldo's TREASONOUS giving away troop postions and not only STILL keeping his job and having his one our show

3. Hey, I'm just surprised they got the state right.....
Since we've got an ongoing story in South Dakota with former Governor Janklow's manslaughter trial, I'm amazed they didn't combine those two stories...
