When does an embattled Republican suddenly become an embattled Democrat? When Fox News is covering him, of course.

The network known for its conservative leaning ran footage of Mark Sanford admitting to an extramarital affair on Wednesday with a Chyron identifying the South Carolina Republican -- near tears -- as a D, for Democrat.
Sanford

Media Matters has the screen grab on its site and notes that Fox News later changed Sanford's party affiliation to Republican.

But it's also worth adding that this is not the first time the network has misidentified a GOPer in the midst of acknowledging misconduct. When former congressman Mark Foley admitted to having problems with alcoholism -- after reports that he had behaved inappropriately with congressional pages -- Fox News also identified him as a Democrat.

desperado

No mind dem jare.

In my world, watching Faux Noise would be a felony punishable with 3 months in jail.

I guess sex scandals are the trademark of democrats no thanks to Clinton!

Whats the big deal? It was just a typo error. Its not like they didn't correct it later.

I dont watch Fox news anyway.

I do!

this was no error. false news never makes such ''errors''. they know what they were doing and they did it to decieve a population they always decieve. soon people will start debating if he was really a republican and in the confusion, a re-branding occurs.

anyway, na dem sabi.

the problem is this is becoming a pattern. it happened first with foley and now sanford. it's a trick of faux news to try and blame the democratic party or the imaginary leftist media ( hi bill ) for every damn thing.

SeanT21:

Sanford needs to resign already!!

Supported!

If you watch Outfoxed you will realize that its subliminal and not at all a mistake. They make alot of other "mistakes" as well, such as Bush winning the election before all the votes were counted.
