Fox News busted again selectively editing clips

Yes, and WWE is real since more people watch it than Fox.
Another interesting little statistic.
Most of those who regularly watch O'Reilly (63%) and Hannity (65%) are 50 or older; 44% of the public is 50 or older. By contrast, the "Daily Show" and "Colbert Report" have the youngest audiences of any outlet included in the survey. Large majorities of those who say they regularly watch the "Colbert Report" (80%) and the "Daily Show" (74%) are younger than 50; 55% of public is 18 to 49.

"Racial overtones, a black president, white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists"
Don't be an idiot.

Eh, "the worst generation" only has a few more years and that will reduce extremism considerably.
There are plenty of examples on all networks, and I'm not saying that just because they all do it, it's OK. I'm just pointing out that they all edit towards their bias. Something which has become the norm, which I believe is exactly how all parties want it. The general public does not know where the truth ends and the bullshit begins, which keeps us in ignorance, and ignorant people are easy to stear in one direction or another. The news media is no longer independent of the political parties they cover. That's a problem.
I am sure there were never any threats at tea party rallies, MSNBC must be making it up.
Last Tuesday a man was arrested before Obama's New Hampshire health care town hall for carrying an unlicensed loaded gun

The Associated Press is now reporting that there were actually about a dozen armed people among the protesters in Phoenix:
About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with an AR-15 assault rifle, milled among protesters outside an event where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday in Phoenix.
Last week, during Obama's town hall meeting in Portsmouth, N.H., a man stood outside with a gun strapped to his leg.

Except there were white people showing up at Democratic rallies with guns. In fact in that particular rally there were several protesters walking around with guns, and the press focused on only the black person. Which kind of says a lot about bias right there.
But back to the topic of Fox, here's a montage/puzzle page of just a few of Fox's lies, outright bias and manipulations. Can you find each lie?
