Fox Apologizes For Fabricating Cutler Headlines

by Timothy Burke | 12:51 pm, September 25th, 2011

Fox apologized on-air Sunday for fabricated news headlines and telling viewers they were real, an incident that happened during the broadcast of the Chicago Bears’ opening-day win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Calling it an “incorrect graphic,” FOX NFL Sunday anchor Curt Menefee apologized to Jay Cutler (about whom the fake headlines referred) and the Chicago Bears organization.

    I have always known that if an error is made on Fox and they are told, they WILL apologize for the mistake.  Do ALL stations do this?  I have been told that FOX is the only station that tells untruths, but never corrects errors.  WELL, they do!!

    Fox and Fox news are different.  Fox News rarely corects errors and in fact encourages misinformation.  Unfortunately all of the 24 hr news channels do this.

    They didn’t really apologize…they called it “an incorrect graphic.” What is was was a complete lie made to insult Jay Cutler. SORT of apologizing isn’t the same as actually apologizing.

    But, you probably love FOXNEWS and have man-wood for those morons so you aren’t smart enough to know the difference. Hence, you believe what you think you are being told and thusly a wonderful FOX watcher. Sarah Palin is an idiot btw…go Obama.
