In that laundry list, I see one similar issue, the Biden video edit.

It looks like Fox edited a video to make it seem as if Biden made a racially insensitive statement. Fox says they made the edit for time constraints.

Seems weak compared to forging documents ( Dan Rather ), telling outright lies ( Stephanopoulos ), and failing to report a salient election issue ( Biden laptop ). I will grant that it seems similar to what the BBC did today, though.

The rest seem like slimy news tricks, but are not attacks of the same nature.



That’s the difference between accountability and simply making excuses.
