Gosh, you make it sound like FOX hired a bunch of kooks to boo in the background while they ran a clip of Paul......it was just an old video.....some "searcher" screwed up. I doubt it was sabotage.

Still, this isn't the first time Fox has aired the wrong footage in a way that could be perceived as benefiting certain Republicans.
In November 2009, Fox's Sean Hannity had Rep. Michele Bachmann on describing an anti-health care reform rally while airing footage from a significantly larger event led by Glenn a few months earlier. Hannity apologized the next night for the mix-up, which was caught by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart. You can watch the Stewart report below:

Fox again aired the wrong crowd footage during a segment just a week later.

Fox's Greg Jarrett reported that Sarah Palin was "drawing huge crowds" while on a book tour. The footage, however, was actually from a larger 2008 campaign event. Fox's management chalked up the incorrect footage to a "production error." The network hired Palin soon after as a contributor.

Fox faces fallout over misleading footage before Ron Paul interview

Happens 1 time, OK happy little accident. A 2nd time, look at the process and correct the mistakes and oversights. 3rd time and more, we got us a trend!

And it's not just Fox that does it either!
:wink2:
