Need examples of Fox mislabeling a corrupt Republican as a Dem?
I know they did it a few times with Mark Foley in his sex predator scandal where Fox labeled Foley as D-FL instead of the real R-FL.

I could swear they have done it at least 1 or 2 other times, but cannot find who else they victimized this way.

I think Fox also listed 'Obama' as 'Osama' as well.

Thanks

1. CNN did the Obama/Osama mistake...
I can't think of anyone other than Foley who was mislabeled as a Dem :shrug:

2. Labelled Mark Foly as a Democrat, and
...on the repeat, just dropped the label instead of correcting the label:

8. wow, great link
Looking through these is fascinating. My most jaw dropping one is 'All-out civil war in Iraq: could it be a good thing?' Yes, if you're having a baby panda stir-fry, you probably do think it's a good thing.

4. Foley described as a Democrat on Fox and
in the Valerie Plame interview somebody pressed her over her and her husbands political affiliation .
