Media Matters has caught Fox News photoshopping pictures of NY Times reporters critical of Fox, to make them look sinister and ugly.
On the July 2 edition of Fox News’ Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe “attack dogs,” claiming that Steinberg’s June 28 article on the “ominous trend” in Fox News’ ratings was a “hit piece.” During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered — the journalists’ teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe’s hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered.
Is it me, or is there a flavour of some of those anti-Jewish caricatures of the thirties?
Fox employees’ve given up all pretence to being journalists of any description.
