Last Friday Fox News deliberately and deceptively edited a video of President Biden<\/a><\/strong> to make it appear as if he made a racially insensitive remark. He didn’t. Fox News purposefully removed the part of Biden’s speech that provided the context and left the false impression. That’s not an uncommon tactic used by Fox to slander their political foes. And it happened again just one day later.<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/p>\n

On Saturday there was a protest at Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the Mayor of New York City, ostensibly in opposition to COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Naturally, Fox News covered this event without disclosing that they impose vaccine mandates on their employees<\/a><\/strong>. But that wasn’t the worst part of this pseudo-journalism.<\/p>\n

The story<\/a><\/strong>, as it currently appears on the Fox News website, features the headline, “Antifa members clash with anti-vaccine protesters outside NYC’s Gracie Mansion.”<\/em> It’s opening sentence states that “Antifa radicals and anti-vaccine protesters appeared to clash Saturday night outside Gracie Mansion, the mayoral residence in New York City.”<\/em><\/p>\n

However, that is a significantly different presentation from the story as it appeared when it was first published<\/a><\/strong>. Originally the article’s title was “Antifa members clash with White nationalists over COVID vaccine mandate outside NYC’s Gracie Mansion.”<\/em> The URL for the article still reflects its original title referencing the organizers as White nationalists.<\/p>\n

That wasn’t the only undisclosed edit. The original article began quite differently, stating that…<\/p>\n

“Antifa protesters and a White nationalist group appeared to clash at an anti-vaccine mandate protest held outside of Gracie Mansion in New York City on Saturday night.”<\/p>\n

“Far-right activist Nick Fuentes organized the protest against vaccine mandates outside of Gracie Mansion on Saturday night, where Antifa groups also showed up to confront his group, the “Groyper Army. The Anti-Defamation League considers the “Groyper Army” as a white supremacist group.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

None of that is the article in its current state. In fact, the words “white nationalist”<\/em> are not in the current article at all. Nor is the reference to the “Groyper Army,”<\/em> a group described<\/a><\/strong> by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as “a loose network of alt right figures who are vocal supporters of white supremacist and \u201cAmerica First\u201d podcaster Nick Fuentes.”<\/em> The White nationalist language also was preserved in an early tweet that Fox News posted to promote the article.<\/p>\n
