WATCH: San Diego Fox News station uses picture of Obama as suspect in rape case
While reporting that San Diego prosecutors were dropping charges against a man accused of rape on the San Diego State University campus, San Diego Fox News 5 used a picture of President Obama over a caption reading No charges.
According to Times of San Diego, during Friday nights broadcast, news anchor Kathleen Bade was explaining that the San Diego District Attorneys Office had decided to not file charges against 20-year-old rape suspect Francisco Sousa due to lack of evidence.
As Bade said The only suspect in a sex assault at SDSU will not be charged, a photo of the president popped up over her shoulder with a caption: No charges
According to Fox 5 assignment editor Mike Wille, it was an accident.

(9,154 posts)4. People still watch TV?
I read something curious the other day. Anchor and Archon are anagrams. TV likes to tell us what to think and do, and certainly can program the mind, it even changes brainwaves to watch. That's why the rich and greedy buy up those stations.
I can't imagine paying $100 per month to be served a metronomic beat of commercials. It seems kind of stupid to me. Pay to watch commercials?
