here's a good example of how Fox News distorts news to suit their purpose.
The headline and opening line cites "ACORN 'pimp'" "phone tampering" and a "democrat" yet the story had nothing to do with ACORN or pimps and was actually about a conservative republican tea-bagger pulling a phone tampering attack on a Democrat senator.
FOX knows their viewers. Most probably glance at the headline and think an "ACORN pimp" did something illegal. The article does explain what really happened but the headline will be the only thing to appear in many links and news aggregators and will help keep the tea-baggers up in arms over ACORN.
Fox is deliberatly trying to mislead. A better headline here would have been "Conservative, Republican, Tea-Bagger 'Pimp' touted 'project' before Phone Tampering charges"
Fair and balanced my ass..... more like "journalistic terrorism"
