Fox News used footage of random sad Asians instead of actual Koreans mourning the ferry
One sad Asian is as good as the next it seems. At least according to Fox News.
In the clip below about the tragic sinking of the Sewol ferry in South Korea, from a few weeks ago, Fox appears to have swapped in footage of random sad Asian people in place of mourning Koreans.
....
The problem? The corresponding footage is not of the mourning relatives, or even Koreans, but rather "people presumably from another region of Asia," according to KoreAm, a blog covering the Korean American experience.
Another blogger suggests the footage is actually of Tibetans crying after the recent avalanche at Mt. Everest.

This is something a half-assed tabloid would do. 
Hell, I'll just do both.
