You Say "Osama," Fox News Says "President Obama"
Accidentally reporting that President Obama was killed and rose from the dead as a zombie to announce his own death before struttin' into the hallway that always reminds me of the one in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride is a mistake that anyone* can make.
* By "anyone" I mean "Fox."

"President Obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off," Limbaugh said on Monday. "You see, the military wanted to go in there and bomb as they always do. They wanted to drop missiles and drop bombs and a number of totally destructive techniques here. But President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the Special Forces. No one else thought of that. President Obama. Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser, not a single military adviser came up with the idea of using SEAL Team 6 or any Special Forces."
Gotta love the Right! lmao.

Plz tell Roseanna Scotto that i'm in love with her.
And for me too!! Roseanna is the best!!!
Poopele...you have some serious fucking issues. Seek help.
Fox' Faux" News really are the biggest fucking morons on earth…
The women spend their time licking their lip glossed lips and the men are too busy fantasizing about Palin and Bachmann to have a working brain cell between them..
The next conspiracy theory to come out will be that Bin Laden and Obama were half brothers raised in a cave together in Afghanistan and Fox will jump all over it….
"NOSOPD -Not our sort of person darling"
I was gonna' celebrate but then the black lady corrected him.
How can you tell who's dead just from visual inspection, when the whole government in Washington is dead and gone to hell? The zombies still walk of course, and talk, but when they stand in front of the camera it's like the Night of the Living Dead all over again. Osama died years ago but they're still trying to get some mileage out of his bones. Scary graveyard humor.
While it was just a local Fox affiliate who made the Osama/Obama booboo, it was Norah O'Donnell of MSNBC who tweeted to the whole world that "Obama was dead" and cited the Pentagon as her source. And unfortunately, it looks like both CNN and ABC took their errors nationwide as well.
Clicked the link and found out it was not literally FOX News that made this gaffe but a local Fox affiliate. I was starting to wonder because I was watching the president's speech on FOX News last night and did not hear this mistake..
That's what we get for voting for a pResident with a name like a terrorist.
Here, here. The only difference are the letters bs.
HA! They wish...

It's always interesting to hear the viewpoint of someone who is not American in matters political.
Shit like this happens all the time on Fox. I'm sure they really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to attract employees.

What took Fox so long? MSNBC pulled this same shit at least an hour earlier. Is Chyron typing so damn difficult that networks just can't get anyone that has a 7th grade edumacation?
As a genuine DC girl, I can say that for the most part very little of the twisted extreme programming that the FOX News parent company is known for makes it to the airways of the local Washington, DC affiliate WTTG.
Ironic for many reasons, to FOX's credit, they realize that DC is the wrong place to waste dollars and energy pandering to the easily brain-washed and socially ignorant. FOX also knows that there are Washingtonians that will quickly burn the local station building to the ground given provocation.(Heck, there are large parts of the city that have only recently been rebuilt from damage by the 5-day riot of 1968.)
I can't hate on Will Thomas. Was he set up by some sleazy Fox operative manning his teleprompter? I can't say. But, I can say that Thomas is a very good journalist who has the education, honors and the respect of a highly diverse local community to back him up. He is a compassionate reporter and an uncloseted gay man who had the balls to do live investigative reports on the Ku Klux Klan.
I believe this was purely an unmotivated slip-up on his part and hate to see that he is going to be dragged through the mud professionally for one split second mistake. He is by all respects a very nice person.
NPR isn't funded by a corporation. Unfortunately people will not wise up to its non-biased value. They think because listening to it involves using brainpower and book-learnin' it's a bunch of elitist liberal crap. Most of red state middle America couldn't listen to it for five minutes and understand a single thing. "Why's they be talkin bout them other countries and shit? Where's the story about the missing white girl?"

Fancy is right. We all know you can't trust corporations, so why do people trust corporate news? Corporations were anti HCR, anti Union and pro war, and they use their holdings in the media to shape public opinion. That's why we get tax cut for the rich and pointless wars because those things benefit corporate America.
After Obama's crushing of the Donald and now this, it's going to be fun watching the right wingers lose what's left of their fevered minds.

Excuse me, but I'm just defending where I work. That is NOT Fox News, it's a Fox affiliate. It's a local station.
And with the storm of awesome that erupted after finding out Osama was dead, I could only imagine the utter craziness inside the news room as well. Struggling to put something quickly on air, there's bound to be mistakes.

Norwaygirl, if you love the USA so much, why don't you move there? Or, why don't you marry it? looooooool
-----------------------------------------------
I am happily married with my own country for 43 years, and my husband for 22 years.
I should have googled the word "saviour" because I see it has a much stronger meaning than I thought.
I just meant to say thank you to USA. Western countries are united in the fight against terror, but it seems USA is among the few who doesn't only talk the talk. But also walk the walk.
Double post :(

You do realize that the entire mass media is owned by 6 corporations? It's time to stop "pointing fingers" at Fox News ONLY and look at everything else in the bigger picture. If you don't like Fox News, I hope you don't like reading the NY Post, watching 20th Century Fox films, going to Lakers games, etc, because that shit is all owned by Fox and I can pretty much guarantee that everyone here who claims to hate Fox news is still putting money in their pockets. Sad but fucking true.

I would love for this to get leaked to FoxNews. "The Onion" pulled a fast one that had the NYT apologizing (something to do with teen mags and Obama's picture). "Oprah Mistaken for bin Laden Compound, Killed by Military...Obama says 'Oops.'"
