Imagine if they had Fox News back in 1862...

2. They did, it was just in newspapers
Newspapers then were either blatantly anti-abolition or pro-abolition.

4. Imagine Faux News in 1775...
They'd have been griping about "those treasonous hotheads" in Massachusetts and prattling on about how grateful we should all be to King George for being such a benevolent monarch.

Hmmm. Guess that's about the same as Faux News in 2005 come to think of it...

6. And in an unrelated article, story of the arrest of hooligans
...for vandalism and damage to private property after they threw large amounts of tea into the waters of Boston Harbor...

8. ROFL. I watched that POS last night, because my elderly FIL

9. Fark actually had a thread like this a few years back...
Where people photoshopped many "Fox Reports" of older historical events. I'll try and dig it up later if I get some time.
