Black folks all look alike to Fox News....

"But apparently Fox News Channel can't tell one African-American member of Congress from another, in this case Rep. Jefferson from Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee ..."


Par for the course in America.

2. That's Rep. Bill Jefferson (R-LA), right?
Good Lord...
I noticed they captioned Conyers as "Cong William Jefferson" too... "Cong"?

3. And if you think about it, the real reason they did it is because their viewers won't either...
and they probably wanted a "Resign" sign in the same picture with the video to add the garnish to this propaganda stew.

7. Jeez. I may not be a crackerjack FOX News reporter
but even I know that's John Conyers and not William Jefferson. I'm sorry but that had to be intentional. As if FOX news is completely unaware of Conyers hearings into the USA scandal. :eyes:

10. And of course
they never publish an errata!
Nor does CNN or any other M$M corporate news.
