While reading a very funny story about how Tucker Carlson gave out Fox News Channel's number instead of his own while on CNN, and FNC "returned the favor by posting his HOME number":http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=34789 (Can't these ultra-conservative wags get along?), I wanted to check out the FNC site to see if I could find the story in question. I got distracted when I saw this headline and photo on the "homepage":http://www.foxnews.com/:

h4. "GOP Adds Muscle to Arnold's Campaign":http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,98369,00.html

Have a closer look at that picture. Notice what a horrible "Photoshop":http://64.81.51.213/fpm/ hack job that is? Clearly those three men never actually stood on a stage together. However, I don't doubt that Ah-nold was probably getting a "plo-job":http://www.gawker.com/archives/008157.html at the time.

This is not nearly as bad as suggesting visual links with story graphics like "CNN might do":http://www.wattfarm.com/blog/archives/000042.html. This isn't even nearly as bad as the LA Times photographer that was fired for "subtly":http://faculty.cua.edu/johnsong/hsct102/pages/alteredphoto.html "altering a photo":http://www.poynter.org/content/content_view.asp?id=28082. This is using a visual image that simply "did not happen":http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2842.htm in order to "further your own agenda":http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2003c.html#t20030708.

"Fair and balanced"? Fuck you.
