Fox News Retraction Video gets it wrong, again.

In a classic showing of how often the media gets the story exactly wrong, especially when it comes to electronic cigarettes and the FDA report, Fox not only got the story wrong once, but twice!

In late July, when reporting on the FDA Report on Electronic Cigarettes, which I'm sure contained the obligatory "discovered Diethylene Glycol, a common ingredient in antifreeze", Fox News made a  little mistake. They insinuated with video that Smoke Stik USA was included in the FDA report, which they were not, and that their products may have been the ones DEG was found in, which they were not.

Now that's bad and quite embarrassing to the media, who we trust to get the story right and deliver us the facts. But, the next night they "clarify" the story to make sure they got it right. It's to be expected that the press gets it right. Right?

But they still don't get it right.

They not only print at the bottom of the screen that they are interviewing Crystal Thigpen of "SmokeStick", when she is actually with Smokestik USA, but the anchor references not once, but  twice that the EPA studied e-cigs and issued a report and that the EPA said they were very concerned these products contained "nicotine and other chemicals".
