Fox Station That Used Pic of Obama as Rape Suspect IS REFUSING to Apologize or Acknowledge the Error
Source: Daily Kos
As reported in this diary, San Diego Fox News 5 used a picture of President Obama with the caption reading NO CHARGES while head anchorwoman Kathleen Bade was discussing a rape suspect.
Although it was up there the entire time during her lead-in, assignment editor Mike Wille said it was just a mistake. Since they knew it was a mistake, (and left it up there the whole time), why didn't they at least offer a correction or apologize?
Good question:
Asked why there was no on-air acknowledgment or apology for the error, Wille said: “They really don’t do that when it’s a small thing like that.”

I mean he Wasn't charged with anything.
The Dems should learn from this technique. They could put a picture of the Koch brothers up and have a caption saying, "Koch brothers not charged in child molestation case," and do this every night someplace. 
(This is just having fun. I hope nobody takes me serious)
Glad you're here! Yes I KNOW we don't control the media, except for a small sliver of it - MSNBC. And, at least according to the ratings, we don't have the muscle we need there either.
I'm not sure how to do it since I don't have enough money to buy myself a piece of the media like the koch brothers do, or whole networks like the big conglomerates do. We're stuck with US. Ourselves. Our grassroots. We're stuck with an attempt to try to unravel Citizens United. We're stuck with Dems who until very recently only were interested in caving, caving, and more caving. We're stuck with a President who until very recently wanted to try to compromise rather than just understanding that these bastards weren't interested in reaching back out to them, and only recently decided to say "fuck it" - as he should have from Day One. We're stuck. We're stuck with our own little grassroots activism. It's a big enough job for activists on our side to whip up the kind of frenzy we need on our side - that propelled the teabaggers to such ungodly levels of success.
AND I think we need to start making a boatload of noise and complain-complain-complain to our Dems and make an issue of the following:
WHERE IS THE FOCUS ON TAKING BACK THE STATEHOUSES?
WHERE IS THE FOCUS ON TAKING BACK THE GOVERNORSHIPS???
WHERE IS THE FOCUS ON TAKING BACK THOSE GOVERNORSHIPS - on the all-important Zero Years?
Because if a republi-CON is in charge on any of those ten-year marker years, 2010, 2020, 2030, and on... THAT is when the census is done, and THAT is when Congressional districts are reapportioned and reconfigured, and if the GOP is in charge at that crucial moment, then they gerrymander the districts within an inch of their lives - to make sure they tilt the playing field in their favor. That's how - when there are at least A MILLION votes cast for Democrats, it doesn't do any good, and doesn't make any difference. And it seems to me the DNC was asleep at the switch - yet again.
If we can somehow fix THAT, then we're on the way to recovery. I think because the next election cycle is the Presidential election cycle, that's when Dem voters tend to turn out more. So we might well get the Senate back - especially since the bad guys have more seats to defend next time which makes them more vulnerable. More places they have to spend money to defend those many seats. I think we stand a good chance of getting a lot of them back. The House of Reps is probably lost for awhile, though - because that Decade-Mark mentality is NOT there. I see NO focus on it. I hear NO efforts amassed to try to take command of that issue and turn it around. Seems nobody's paying much attention - and we have a big one coming up in just five years. Dear darling DEBBIE wasn't on alert for that, certainly, on her watching 2010. THAT has to change, too. So does the (her) leadership.
It's really frustrating. I went to a meeting a few months ago with the local chapter of UltraViolet - a liberal, and majority female, grassroots group that is slowly spreading around the country. We broke into small discussion groups and kicked ideas around on several assigned topics - including "What should our agenda be, and what issues should we concentrate on?" I came up with taking back the word "feminism" and "feminist" because I thought it had been thoroughly trashed and rendered disreputable and turned into a negative. The response was as though an 8.1 earthquake had just hit 'em. WHOA! That's a GREAT idea! YES!!!! We DO have to do that! But it hadn't occurred to anybody else in the room, and, seemingly, hadn't occurred to most people across the whole progressive landscape. Astoundingly, only a couple of weeks later, TIME magazine issued a list of five words they wanted the public's opinion on - "which of these five words or terms should be sent to the dustbin? And sure enough - one of those words was "feminist"! Well, there was (pleasant surprise) suddenly a backlash about this, and I saw several emails from different big activist groups with petitions to send to TIME to express outrage over that, and demand that they take that word OFF their list of Terms-To-Be-Trashed. And TIME actually, surprisingly, got religion about it, apologized, and withdrew that word from its list. I was stunned to hear that, and very gratified. I signed every one of those petitions, and tried to contribute a few bucks to support the petition drive when I had some money to spare.
I was asked to write up a summary of our group and the others from that meeting, so I did. And I sent a note to the organizers about the irony, that we'd discussed the rehabilitation and much-needed defense of the word "feminist" at our meeting, and look what just happened at TIME magazine! And that came as a great surprise to the organizers. It was the first they'd even heard about it.
Well, we really don't call it rape if his tool is less that 3.75 inches.
