Fox News affiliate "apologizes" for selectively editing and misrepresenting protester's chants to make it seem they were calling for the murder of police officers.

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

A Baltimore Fox affiliate station apologized to a Black Lives Matter protester on Monday after the station deceptively edited a chant by protesters to say “Kill a cop.” 

According to Talking Points Memo, the chant, led by protester Tawanda Jones, actually said, “We won’t stop, we can’t stop, ’til killer cops, are in cell blocks.” 

On Monday, Gawker noted the deceptive editing, juxtaposing Baltimore Fox station WBFF’s footage against actual footage from the protest event, which the site acquired via C-SPAN. 

The Fox station apologized to the protesters and to Jones both on its Facebook page and in an interview with Jones. 

The Facebook post claimed that the station’s engineers misheard what the protesters were chanting and called it an “honest misunderstanding.”

"Honest misunderstanding?"  Seriously?

As I reported before it appears that the Fox affiliate went out of their way to make the protesters appear scary and bent on violence.

Below you can see the interview with Tawanda Jones, during which the affiliate plays an unedited video of her chants, which is NOT the same footage shown on WBFF originally which also featured a voice over completely misrepresenting what she was saying, and then attempts to make it sound like it was an honest mistake.

It clearly wasn't.

    Really, she should sue for libel and defamation of character. Just like the gentleman at the Boston marathon is suing Beck. That's the only way they learn.

      I agree, only when they have to shell out lots of money will they ever learn. Why Fox isn't taken off the airwaves is beyond me. They've been lying and misconstruing the facts for years now. Fox isn't a real news channel it just spews propaganda.

      Cookbooks and cooking - its the go to meme for those who are desperate to get something out there in the public eye - 'cause they think its easy! Sarah only illustrates just how hard demonstrating cooking anything is - like how to make rice crispy treats (blech)!

      The woman has no skills in the kitchen, it's been well documented in too many books to name that the least of Mrs. Palin's talents are in the kitchen, and that's really saying something. She needs to stop trying, 'cause this cooking thing ain't gonna happen for her. She is good for one thing and one thing only, stirring up the ignorant base GOP into a hate frenzy. She's a shitty mom, a shittier cook and and even shittier politician, but she's a great cheerleader for the "great ignorant and unwashed of this country". That's her sole talent.

    I see the Fox Demons are hard at work!

    “Equating one of our greatest heroes to a mass murderer who went on a shooting, killing spree in D.C. and killed ten innocent people — how dare he?” Hasselbeck said. “And on Christmas Day, when you think about Chris Kyle’s family, his wife, his young children, having to face this assault even on our military.”

    “It’s abhorrent what he said,” added musical guest Scott Brown. “I would hold him accountable. …You can’t tolerate this type of blatant distortion of the facts. We are not occupiers.”

    Be sure to check Palin's Facebook and the Blog that Nancy French writes for Bristol. This is one of their foremost matters, a great patriot and Track's "it" hero. If Track cares he would come out and speak for himself about Kyle and this film. Palin chastised President Obama, she will not let this film be dissed.

      You'd better believe, 11:59, that YOU are on the Palins' list of people who might just show up at their front door and to call the police if they do. Did the Palins' lawyer contact you to shut down that immensely creepy, unauthorized Tripp Facebook page you set up a little while ago?

      Initially the public defender issued a Motion to Dismiss Indictment (Under Seal) meaning that all items pertaining to this case from the public defender would not be public record, hence, "Under Seal". All further activity on this case has been filed using the "Under Seal" addendum, both from the Palin's lawyer and Fererro's lawyer so both sides are choosing to try to keep this case out of the public record for some reason. His bail was set very high, and from the only public information available he had priors which led to the associated "aggravated" being added to his crime against the Palins.

      Aggravation generally means that the defendant has displayed behaviors that could lead to a greater crime or has prior charges that had in common with the current charge a greater degree of malfeasance.

      Aggravation can be appended to a charge, in Ferrero's case, because he has been arrested for prior stalking and assault, leading the court to believe that given time and no law enforcement intervention that his current charge could have escalated to the levels of his previous charges if police had not intervened, in short, he was stalking with the intent to do harm, as he has done in the past.

      This guy seems mentally ill and in need of rehabilitation prior to being released from jail and is most likely a danger to himself and others.

      Just another reason that the Palins should live "more privately" if they want to avoid people like Ferrero. How many stalkers is it going to take before they stop putting themselves out there?

      In my opinion this one seems a little more dangerous than their previous stalkers the Christys.

      Won't the Heaths and Palins make certain that he has a lawyer that they can control. For it to be any other way that would indicate the Palins are slipping.

      Some people believe that Levi's lawyer was a set up by the Palins. You think they would not do that?

      Doesn't one of Sarah's former lovers operate the prison system where Ferroro resides? The Palins would certainly have full charge of what they need in any jail also.

      How would anyone know what drugs he is on or how he can be controlled and manipulated while in jail? What if he has documents to prove what he is trying to say but he has no way to stand up for himself or present evidence?

      He could be in need of mental health attention and the way they are treating him is only making him worse. The crazier he is the better for the Palins. It is not necessarily fact. They may be intentionally harming and destroying him to save their own skin.

    Fox employees are 24/7 cracked heads. They hate and have to lie. Too bad they won't bring back Sarah Palin since she represents them so well.

    During a panel discussion on Monday, Fox contributor Katie Pavlich openly accused President Obama and his administration of having an anti-police track record. But then, she offered no tangible proof to back up her claims and used the excuse of time running out to not do so.

  19. What a disgusting, damaging edit.
    But surely everyone knows that the media (including Fox) has used editing for and against the police, for and against protesters.
    It's to sell stories and create a reality in our minds that is more hard-core and socially dramatic in ways that the full story would not create. Even if the true full story is disturbing enough, they will make it more-so in ways like this.
