Latest foul-up is the last straw for Fox

Over the past couple months Fox News has been airing some things that aren’t exactly accurate. Ok, that sounds a little redundant but these cases are especially bad! The first incident being a slight exaggeration of the size of the crowd at a Michele Bachman rally against healthcare reform. If you missed any of that debacle you can get an excellent summary from this video here by The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Mistake two was pretty much the same thing except this time over the size of the crowd at a Sarah Palin book signing. But the thing that made Fox send out this memo to their staff threatening to fire anyone that fudges up again was during a live segment about why the associated press assigned so many fact checkers to Palin’s new book. (really?) It seems they showed the wrong book! Going Rouge, a parody of Palin’s actual book, Going Rogue.
