Fox News confuses Jefferson with another black congressman
House Judiciary Committee Chariman John Conyers is absolutely livid about yesterday's mishap on Fox News. On Monday afternoon, Fox News about William Jefferson, who was recently indicted on corruption charges. But instead of using the name 'William Jefferson', they put in 'John Conyers'.
Conyers, who Fox News has always as far-left, is that he was put in the same boat as Jefferson:
"Fox News has a history of inappropriate on-air mistakes that areneither fair, nor balanced. This type of disrespect for people of colorshould no longer be tolerated. I am personally offended by thenetwork's complete disregard for accuracy in reporting and lacklusteron-air apology," said Rep. Conyers in a statement sent to RAW STORY.
Fox News issued a about the video mishap, but did not mention Conyers in the apology, nor did they explain why the false video made it on the air.
