Ron Paul: Ron Paul Supporters Respond to Fox News Fake Footage


Fox News got themselves in hot water Tuesday when they played the boos from the 2010 conference on Ron Paul’s Conservative Political Action Conference’s presidential straw poll win and said it was from the 2011 conference.

The Texas congressman’s supporters say that the station intentionally mixed up the footage to place Paul in a negative lighter against Mitt Romney, who placed second in the poll.

This is not the first time Fox has made a controversial error with their footage. They used footage from a 2008 event to show that Palin was “drawing huge crowds” when she went on her book tour. In 2009, Sean Hannity had Rep. Michele Bachmann describing an anti-health care reform rally while footage from a larger event months prior by Glenn Beck aired.
