Eagles' Zach Ertz slams Fox News over misleading anthem images Yahoo Sports Jay Busbee,Yahoo Sports 1 hour 44 minutes ago Reactions Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email In the latest episode of President Trump vs. The NFL, the president disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles from a White House visit because of what the president claimed was the Eagles’ history of “disrespectful” protests. Fox News chimed in with a report on the story, supplemented with images of Eagles players. There was just one problem: the Fox News report painted a highly inaccurate picture of the Eagles, presenting prayer as protest.

No players on the Eagles knelt or remained in the locker room during the 2017 season or the playoffs, despite what the president implied in his tweet rescinding the Eagles’ invitation:
quote:
UPDATE: Fox News has apologized. “During our report about President Trump canceling the Philadelphia Eagles’ trip to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl win, we showed unrelated footage of players kneeling in prayer,” said Christopher Wallace, Executive Producer of Fox News @ Night with Shannon Bream in a statement. “To clarify, no members of the team knelt in protest during the national anthem throughout regular or post-season last year. We apologize for the error.”

They apologized. If that was good enough from Samantha Bee, should be good enough from FOX News.

They deserve to be called out. Fake News is Fake News, shitty journalism just to spark outrage should anger everyone on both sides. Journalism is gone and in really rough shape

So long as it starts a conversation, it's all good. Right?

Trump didn't disinvite them because they protested, Trump disinvited the whole team because some of the Eagle's players said they weren't going to attend.
And rather than being a man about it, Trump exposed his petty, petulant, low-T, beta cuck self and took his ball and went home where he could melt by himself.

Lazy work on the part of someone at Fox news. Ertz has a point with his complaint. A group prayer well before the national anthem shouldn't have been the picture used.

The reports this morning (radio, no link) indicated it would have been fewer than 10 players.

Any time Fox News makes a correction it becomes national news. Lest we forget the New York Times and Washington Post do this a few times a week.

Surprised to hear this since the Eagles couldn't stop themselves from finding a camera and throwing up that black power fist during the anthem the year before.

I don't give a rat's arse however they absence themselves from the act of respecting the Anthem. I don't care if they decide to feed a homeless child in the locker room while the Anthem is being played before the game they are making huge amounts of money. THEY ARE STILL DISRESPECTING THE COUNTRY!! Tell them no protest they are doing means anything. The one that would count, is to move your sorry arse to another country, which you can respect and love!

The NFL is a goose about to be cooked

Fake news should be exterminated no matter where it is spread. Granted, one moderate news channel doing it versus 7 far left channels will make headlines all day long.

One is a stupid comedian, one is a major news organization.
Fox should hold themselves to a higher standard than some second rate comedian with a cable news show
