Obama watched his own documentary?
Fox News mistakenly reported that President Obama watched his own HBO documentary last night instead of watching the election returns. However Obama's press secretary never said this, instead he said that he didn't know what Obama watched, but knew that he wasn't in front of the Tv watching the returns all night. I don't know how this turns into Fox thinking he watched his own documentary instead.... go to the link in the title and watch the Fox video.

Obviously, Fox is acting like a wolf. Every time they believe Obama stumbles, they start a media feeding frenzy. They'll find any opportunity to undermine Obama.
So much for "Fair and balanced".
Of course, this is not to say that the liberals would do the same if another conservative was in office.
Hm... i have no idea either.
It looks like fox was just trying to create a story to get more viewers'
attentions.
Maybe they were doing this to create a "drama" or something.
THis is why presidents always have to watch what tehy do or say cause the media is always watching.
I agree with Colin. Sometimes the media may take what candidates say or do and exaggerate it a little to make it seem more extreme. This can hurt the candidate's reputation and how others view them. And as a result of this, they'll get more viewers and capture more attention. Yes, candidates should pay more attention to their actions.
This totally relates to what we are reading in Chapter 15 right now. The media and news correspondents spin things into the truth so that they can get their story out and be done with it. They cheat and there is "Pressure of getting the story done, getting the story first, and making the story interesting [which] increases competition" (textbook reading)
