More pie in Fox's face. To me, they are the ultimate entertainment network, with their animated shows, and with their comedy news shows as well!

Though slip-ups are bound to happen on live television, this isn't the first time Fox has issued a public apology for mixing up black political figures. In 2007, a Fox host apologized after the network ran footage of Democratic Rep. John Conyers of Michigan while discussing the ethics troubles of Democratic Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana.


Twice in four years. Someone should pull their license.

Of course to you they are. But then, you're a fruitcake leftwing lemming who can't think for himself.

Me too, I think they're a total joke, but to me this is more an example of oversensitivity and the problem with race bias. If these had been two white women there would have been no reason to apologize at all.

There's something seriously messed up about that.

Well they do look somewhat similar, no big deal.

Although I'd say Sherrod looks a little more like another Congresswoman, Diane Watson:

Well said.

But pull their license anyway.

Typical of a leftwing fruitcake - always arriving at a conclusion that has nothing to do with the facts.

CNN really is going crazy right now.

The Fox News people say it's because Fox is blowing them away with the ratings.

I saw the CNN guy say this about Fox not being a "news network" the other night.

What a joke - both of them are just extensions of the dems and reps.

I see the legions are falling in line with the CNN talking points.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy
