Chris Guy at Fred2Blue pointed this out to me. Notice anything wrong?
With regard to Chris Guy's headline, "Fox Shows Pollard as a Republican & Crabill with No Party Affilliation," I watched the video carefully and, the first time Crabill's name is mentioned, Fox verbally does not identify her as a Republican candidate for the Virginia 99th district House of Delegates. After that, they put up one graphic that also does not identify her correctly by party affiliation and one that does. Not great on that front (batting .333), although pretty good by Fox News' pathetically low standards. As we all know, Fox has a habit of misidentifying politicians as "D" or "R," seemingly non-randomly.
A much worse "error" - if "error" it is - occurs the first time Fox identifies Del. Albert Pollard, where Fox puts up up a graphic claiming Pollard's a Republican! Innocent mistake or another "Faux" intentional "error"? They report; you decide! :) A few seconds later, Faux puts up yet another graphic identifying Pollard as "D-Virginia's 99th District," along with his quote, "I come from rural Virginia but we are not a bunch of knuckle draggers." Interesting how he's an "R" at the beginning of the piece, then a "D" when he makes his colorful "knuckle draggers" comment. Again, is this non-random? I don't know, but I've seen Faux do this too many times (e.g., identifying Republican sex scandal guys Mark Foley and Mark Sanford as Democrats) to trust them as far as I can throw them.
