Fox News uses Tina Fey photo for Sarah Palin report
Posted on 06.5.11

Categories: Featured, Say What?

It appears that the Fox News graphic department doesn’t know what their own employees look like.

During a segment reporting that Sarah Palin was undecided on whether or not to jump into the 2012 presidential race, the news channel showed a photo of Tina Fey imitating the former Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008.

In 2009, Fox News management sent out a memo to employees saying that on-screen errors would no longer be tolerated.

“Effective immediately, there is zero tolerance for on-screen errors,” the memo said. “Mistakes by any member of the show team that end up on air may result in immediate disciplinary action against those who played significant roles in the ‘mistake chain,’ and those who supervise them. That may include warning letters to personnel files, suspensions, and other possible actions up to and including termination, and this will all obviously play a role in performance reviews.”

1. Fire the whole lot of them, then!!!
Faux is so famous for their caption/picture errors that I think it is not a mistake most of the time.

4. Apparently Tina Fey does a better Sarah Palin Than Sarah Palin does.
Fox should hire her to Palin's post.

7. I don't think this was by accident...
Chis Wallace told Palin she screwed up history on Revere, Billo is dissing her constantly. And Glenn is history later this month.

Ailes has put the order out to piss Palin off enough so that she'll resign.

17. I know right? My first impression was maybe they did it on purpose,
to win their hero Palin a few more fans.

I KNOW that's not what happened but still it was the first thing that popped into my head.

15. “Effective immediately, there is zero tolerance for on-screen errors,” the memo said.
Except for those times when a repub is caught with his pants down - then you're required to put a (D) behind his name.
