To Fox News they all look alike

Fox news is pathetic. When discussing footage of Congressman Jefferson, the crook with the 90k in his freezer, Fox news chose to show John Conyers.

Now could this be a simple mistake of showing the wrong footage? Or did are they really incapable of telling the difference between two black congressmen?

Honestly, they couldn't tell the difference between this guy

and this guy?

If I were a conspiracy theorist I'd say it's because the right-wing Fox news doesn't like Conyers investigating Republicans. Luckily I'm not, so I'll just settle for calling them ignorant morons.

Would this be like the time they "accidentally" labelled Mark Foley as a Democrat rather than a Republican, right in the middle of the scandal?

I know you should never assume malice when incompetence could be to blame, but... that's some really pretty serious imcompetence. And it only ever seems to happen to the benefit of Republicans.

Hee. I'm British and both these men are unknown to me. I was able to guess straight away which one was the crook, however.

It's the flag, stupid.
