This makes me very angry. To know that its the most popular news channel in the US makes me even angrier.

I'm amazed Gore could keep a straight face over that personal benefit part.

Hahaha, what does Fox gain from trying to make Al Gore look like a greedy arrogant prick?

He makes his money from his dozens of other projects. He doesn't make a penny off the climate. He's smarter than that.

 A reputation for reporting the truth?

Seriously. anyone from outside the USA see's FOX as a dispicable one sided channel that is infamous for heavy editing and notorious for lies. It's full of Glenn Becks and Bill O'Reillys, who have no passion for the truth but more of a passion for hating.

To be fair.. Fox has to cut stuff out.. The attention span of their average viewer isn't that long...

Funny when this same type of deal was done to a Palin interview during the campaign I remember people telling me how it was part of the business of news to cut and edit.

At least in this instance they aren't completely changing the gist of what was said.  The point he made in the reply was preserved, he stated the same thing twice so they went with the more succint and frankly more sensational clip..and from a business that thrives on ratings? How shocking!

Its just selective outrage in the form of the age old liberal sport of Foxbashing (which as you note has had no effect as they've soared to ever higher ratings in recent years).

doesn't matter what case it is, you never edit to manipulate the context or meaning of the quote. That is what happened in these examples.

I don't believe the quotes, you don't reference so ill assume it was Couric, were edited out of context on that show at all. That might have been the excuse but it seemed to me like Couric waited patiently for Palin to explain herself fully.

The news has evolved into entertainment over the past 15 years. It saddens me, how our information gets spun and how our opinions are manipulated. But, what can we do?

They've soared to higher ratings because more liberal media watchdogs are watching it 24/7 to make videos like this. It's like the ratings for Howard Stern. Most of his listeners hate him, but need to know what he's up to. Or Britney Spears "fans."

Yeah, all sides do it, and it always sucks. I won't defend the chopping up of the Palin interviews either (but in my opinion the Katie Couric interview was damned either way because IMO she wasn't prepared at all for that one). The Palin interview chopping may have made her look dumber, but they never cut out direct responses to questions to make it look like she never answered the questions.

I'm not gonna say Fox is the only one who does it. News shouldn't rely on ratings. It would be impossible to convince the entire world that they should look for journalistic credibility instead of sensationalism. That would be a sweet fantasy though. (Imagine if everybody had to take classes on journalism AND credit management!)

The Obama clips weren't really that bad, but Fox's agenda was still obvious. They really fucked up with the Gore clip though. Instead of skipping the ending of the responses like they did with Obama (who always starts with doom and gloom and then throws in his optimism at the end), they cut out the beginning of the response, the middle of the clip. And it skips the part where Gore directly answers the question and explains how he has never made a single cent off of global warming. So they were really going out of their way to make him look like a complete dick who doesn't answer questions, and who profits off global warming. He answered that question very clearly in the part they cut out.

They should never skip answers. They should never skip anything, but if they have to skip something for time or ratings or whatever, it shouldn't be the truth, and the clear answer to a question, in an obvious attempt to make somebody look bad. That Gore clip was a fucking lie.

I won't bash conservatives or conservative news, but conservatives would be much better off if they had their news coming from anywhere but Fox. Fox isn't even a conservative network. They'd immediately switch to liberal news if they thought they could make more money that way. Fox hurts conservatives and liberals and America. But they're #1! Yay for money instead of actual journalism!
