Obama threw the first ceremonial pitch in a baseball game FoxNews said that the ball bounced while the video that contradicts them was playing at the sametime during their own news broadcast.
Oh how they tickle me.

It's not so much a lie as incredibly shoddy reporting.

Technically it was a groundball scooped up by Pujols, so I would just say it's an exxageration of the fact that it touched dirt

It was a groundball? How does one pitch a groundball?
And what is "the fact that it touched dirt"? I think the funny part is that there was no dirt at all... that it was caught on the fly.

WAIT WAIT WAIT----- are you saying that Fox News would be willing to skew facts just to make snide remarks towards Pres. Obama? shame on you. On the other hand if you are trying to say that Fox News just doesnt know any better I would have to agree.

They do this all the time, actually. And not just towards President Obama, but towards all Democrats. Remember the whole Mark Sanford (D) bit?

Perhaps, but when Fox news shoddy reporting consistently makes the democrats look worse than they are and the republicans better than they are, it looks less and less like an honest mistake.
At least they aren't still calling him Barack Osama.

It's sorta like complimenting a mad scientist for no long spreading a contagion that is already well established. I've heard quite a few people refer to him as Osama even though they know better. Obamanation is also quite popular out here.
I don't typically watch Fox News, but they give me something to laugh at, and at least I know their game, so I can filter through it and get to the actual story.
