Fox News has a track record that we have to take into account when looking at a 'mistake' like this one. To ignore that record is "both naive and intellectually dishonest".

We can make a huge thread all about media bias and both sides would have plenty of ammo. And I'm not sure if you want to compare track records either; your side wouldnt fare too well. However, it was a minor error that clearly got past the fact checkers and editors over there. Its not like it was something that led to the deaths of people overseas, like a certain Newsweek story whcih was proven false. All it did was upset a few Canadians and give fodder to those who love to whip FoxNews.
