Fox Affiliate Apologizes for Editing Innocent Protesters to Sound Like Bloodthirsty Cop KillersCaught red-handed, an affiliate of the conservative news outlet apologizes for manipulating video to make protesters seem violent.
A Baltimore Fox station has apologized for what it calls an honest misunderstanding.
Gawker caught the broadcast Sunday, which cut a protester short, making her words difficult to understand. The actual chant was, We wont stop. We cant stop. Till killer cops. Are in cell blocks. But Fox45 reported that the woman, Tawanda Jones, leading the chant was saying, We wont stop. We cant stop. So kill a cop!
Below (at this link) videos of the unedited chant, the edited version and a follow-up interview with Jones.

There needs to be some sort of monitoring organization that people can appeal to when they catch real whoppers.
I've seen it done on all three "news" networks for gross misrepresentation and manipulation. This is the first I've heard of any apologizing.

Whoever edited the tape did it with the intention of misrepresenting what was going on at the protest.
