Baltimore Fox Affiliate Edits Protest Footage To Sound Like 'Kill A Cop'

Just wow... who's baiting now?

Here's the FOX affiliates edited footage:



Here's the original footage from C-Span:

In a Facebook post published Monday afternoon, the station addressed the discrepancies between its report and the raw video, and said it would invite one of the protestors on air Monday evening to "discuss the video and recent violence in New York City."

Last night on Fox45 News at Ten we aired a story regarding the increased risk in being a police officer in light of recent grand jury rulings and the shooting deaths of two police officers in New York City. We aired part of a protest covered by CSPAN that appeared to have protesters chanting “kill a cop”. We spoke to the person in the video today and she told us that is not what she was chanting. Indeed, Tawanda Jones, says she was chanting, “We won’t stop ‘til killer cops are in cell blocks”. We invited Tawanda to appear on Fox45 News at 5:00 and Fox45 News at Ten tonight for an interview so we can discuss the video and the recent violence in New York City. She has kindly accepted and we will bring you that tonight.

Annnnnnnnnd busted

Wow, heh. So i guess those folks having a fox news blackout aren't missing anything.

And it goes to what kind of entertainment they offer. Oh well, Fox is on the same as all the rest, CNN, BBC, MSNBC ad jour.

At least RT TRIES!

Thats a local fox affiliate not Fox News network. Big difference.

That makes it okay, right?

Puts a whole new perspective on the old phrase "keep up with the Jones'".

Is somebody getting fired over this convenient mis-understanding?

What do you think?
I'd say... no.

Out of curiosity, what would that difference be? My understanding is the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

Report first, fact check second. Got it.

So a democrat senator rapes a girl, that makes all democrats rapists right?
Would you all be so pissed off if this was a cbs affiliate? If so, would you blame cbs or the "local" idiots that change the video?

I tend to agree.

I think what the media does is try to add more and more fuel tot he fire in any way they can. even though I thought the local news was a bit better.

Well, that's the detail you decided to comment on, like it matters at ALL to the core of the situation.

Pardon me if I misunderstood the concept of your indignation.

It's in the OP

Fear sells in Murica. It always has.

NYPD is declaring war after losing two. Urinate on the Constitution and citizens will pay for bruised egos with their blood again.

the endgame is close now.

I hardly think FoxNews or any of it's affiliates has a lock on that kind of "journalism"

This is sneaky, manipulative and disgusting behavior on rhe part of this affiliate. Someone should be fired for altering the video to completely change the meaning. MSM at its finest.

It's also interesting to note that the Baltimore Fox website is currently down:

Selective editing, sure... almost all news, local and national, does it which is not a good thing at all... but not to the point of complete misrepresentation, I think FOX is the only one that does that.

Well it was FOX that went to court to prove they didn't have to tell the truth to the public. Also on average you will find that FOX gets caught making edits like this more than the other networks.
