Their Iran coverage is just stellar, as in Interstellar Overdrive.
The bobbleheads on Fox and Friends recently displayed their concern about this election thing with this guy and that guy in the Iran and everywhere like such as. In another report, a Fox reporter erroneously identified a gray-bearded protester as opposition candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi.
I don't mean to pick on Fox necessarily. All cable news networks spew garbage (yes, even San Keith and Santa Rachel, sometimes) and are one month away from implementing a laugh track.
But Fox just has a fantastic track record. Remember two years ago when they picked some random black dude's photo to adorn their report on Congressman Cold Cash Jefferson? I bet the same intern has been working their Iran story graphics.
Although, this might be one of my favorite news identification fails...
And for the bonus round, here's a little Bill Hicks for ya.
That FAILblog clip is made of awesome.

Dammit, I want one of those jobs. Like them, I'm severely underqualified to comment on anything and I'll even work for less. Just make that deli tray in the green room available.

Fox News viewers don't know what Mir-Hossein Mousavi looks like, and until last Friday, they didn't even know he existed. Why should the photo archive guy spend all day digging up a photo of the right person when any Middle eastern looking dude would suffice.
