Live mic catches Fox host inflating crowd estimate by 300%
Edited on Thu Apr-16-09 01:53 PM by jenmito
Transcript and video here: http://www.dailykos.com/ (It's a little more than half-way down the page.)

ETA-I guess the link was updated so here's the latest link showing Olbermann showing the video I'm talking about, also half-way down page where Cavuto estimates 5,000 when he doesn't know he's on the mic then doubles or triples it: http://www.dailykos.com/

For the record, according to Nate Silver: "Sacramento, CA - 3,500 (average of two estimates)" http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/

This MUST'VE been an honest mistake because Faux IS fair and balanced, right?! :eyes:

1. Reminds me of how they fed false info to Judith Miller & then quoted her column
as proof that we needed to rush to war with Iraq.

Faux News is a self-perpetuating pez dispenser of bullshit.

2. Yeah. Nothing in the "liberal" media should be trusted and Faux shouldn't even
be allowed to call themselves a "news channel" let alone "fair and balanced."
