- JohnnyKdiggs, on 05/11/2008, -42/+717Obviously you are forgetting that Fox News is fair and balanced. There were an equal number of introductions which DIDN'T use brainwashing techniques to promote John McCain.
See? Fair and balanced. - bigsimpsin, on 05/11/2008, -38/+626Fox News? John McCain? Seems like an unlikely duo.
- patricktu, on 05/11/2008, -98/+584The intro sequence just shows whatever footage is being played underneath the logo. They must have played the wrong clip then switched back to the anchors at the last second.
Not some secretive brain washing tactics to promote McCain. - smacksaw, on 05/11/2008, -18/+254That's what happens when you hire Jon Lovitz to do your video editing.
As someone who used to do TV production, I can say that when we couldn't find a master tape or were just lazy we'd re-use things like that. Chance of it being subliminal? 5%. Chance of it being total laziness? 9500000%
Sorry to bust anyone's bubble, but I'm sure there are people who will make an entire conspiracy theory about this whole thing because...well, some people just like to "find fault" in that way. Hyper-critical people are just going to do that. Truthers, away! - anarchitecton, on 05/11/2008, -44/+272*****.
- rivalius13, on 05/11/2008, -19/+190SMOKE!
- Regbooker, on 05/11/2008, -22/+178This is Digg, get your logic out of here and blindly support Obama, or attain to the consequences!.
- wm2010russ, on 05/11/2008, -23/+162yeah, thank god someone caught this, after i watched that intro i had this sudden urge to vote for john mccain. wow, i sure am glad that we've exposed their devious plot of subliminally getting me to vote for him!
- DyceFreak, on 05/11/2008, -23/+146obviously you have never worked in broadcast because every single little frame of that is manufactured on a computer... It aint some random scene... its one frame... of john mccain and his wife. When an intro video like that gets produced, every little bit of it is checked and rechecked. Don't act like it was just there because of layers. It wasn't a clip in the first place, it was one frame, of john mccain...
It was put there, and left there on purpose. - RBrenner14, on 05/11/2008, -11/+116MUST. VOTE. JOHN MCCAIN. MUST. VOTE. JOHN MCCAIN.
- MikeXpop, on 05/11/2008, -20/+113FOX News != Local FOX affiliate
- ryan926, on 05/11/2008, -5/+69when you see it you'll ***** bricks.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -56/+113Fox should be forced to remove "News" from Fox News, to make things more accurate. Or, they could change their name to Republican News, that would be accurate as well. RNC News, Fox Propaganda, Facist Times, Neoconservatism Today.
Republicans demand standards be set for all sorts of behavior, how about some standards for calling yourself a news organization, the media plays an important role in sustaining a functional Democracy and Fox News actively works to subvert that. - lanzemurdok, on 05/11/2008, -9/+62i feel a strange urge to vote for mccain. OH NO IT'S WORKING.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -12/+67OK. So, according to you, this is acceptable, then? I mean, whatever the reasons for this image being in that graphic, you think it is fine, yeah? Just want to get clarity on that.
- hikaruzero, on 05/11/2008, -10/+58This isn't that big, guys. If you look closely at the rest of the blue that covers over the McCains, it's a "pivoting" type of logo. It swings around, eventually revealing the background and reporters. Chances are, McCain just happened to be on the big screen in the studio and they put the logo over top of that studio shot.
Sometimes I think you guys read too much into it. If the above is the case (which is highly likely), we all know that Fox News covers McCain and them so much that you'll rarely see anything else, 'cept for poor stories about puppies caught in the rain. - shawntempesta, on 05/11/2008, -2/+51I work in TV. THE VIDEO IS A FAKE AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
a) "Right Now on Fox 5 News" is actually "Right Now on Fox 5 News at Ten"...but it happens to stop RIGHT when they cut to the anchors.
b) That "Right Now" graphic shows the Legal ID (the call letters of the station on the bottom of the screen) which means it was shown at the top of the hour.
c) it IMMEDIATELY cuts...the audio died IMMEDIATELY...and magically the bug at the bottom (the logo) shows 10:14pm...right around the time they would be coming back from their first commercial break.
It's an edit. I know I'm an over-attention paying digg douche that'll get dugg down for taking ***** like this seriously, but I work in TV. This had ***** written all over it. - rivalius13, on 05/11/2008, -7/+51Well that's no fun!
- defectDS, on 05/11/2008, -2/+42"This is my way of trying to persuade Digg that Reddit is better and yet I have no idea why I am on Digg in the first place, soooooooo.... yeah."
Good god people. There is no contest. News is news. - CrazyArcher, on 05/11/2008, -20/+62*****.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -2/+41I don't *john* see *mccain* the problem. Perhaps you are imagining *vote republican* things or *hillary evil woman* you may have had *obama eats children* too much coffee or something.
- ButlerMonkey, on 05/11/2008, -8/+52As much as I'd love to rag on Fox News, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this is an honest mistake on the designer who created that graphic. It looks like that graphic was suppose to key out, or reveal to live footage. So when the designer was creating this animation, he/she probably was using a photo to see how the reveal would look. It may just have happened that the person forgot to turn of the photo layer when rendering out the animation. It's a bad mistake that should have been caught, but maybe the mistake couldn't have been fixed in time for airing.
That's what my logic tells me, as I'm a motion graphics designer and I've made similar mistakes (all caught before delivering to the client) but it can happen when working long hours or under a ton of stress of a tight deadline.
Side note, I'm a Canadian living in Australia, so this comment is isn't based on any bias for any of the Presidential candidates just my experience as a motion graphics designer. - canUdi9it, on 05/11/2008, -9/+48Subliminal ads vote mccain don't really work. When are people going to realize vote mccain that they are just an urban legend?
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -3/+40Are you smoking yet?
- mockupscaledown, on 05/11/2008, -2/+37Thank you for using some logic. Now if the video showed that McCain was consistently showing up in the logo, and not just this once, it might be due for a small discussion. But a logo with an alpha channel getting comped over a clip they were probably cuing up for that broadcast? Buried.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -10/+48You guys know that local fox news has nothing to do with Fox News, right? Local affiliate news shows are nowhere near as 'fair and balanced' as Fox News 24/7 channel.
- xero040486, on 05/11/2008, -15/+55This hardly qualifies as a jedi mind trick. If you honestly believe that a split second image of McCain will brainwash you into voting for him, you probably need to add an extra layer to your tin foil hat.
- oneoverzero, on 05/11/2008, -2/+33It's still a nice find for the person who made the video.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -1/+31Sooooooooooooo I've never visited Reddit and I don't intend to so what the ***** does that have to do with this story on this site?

- SpudgeBoy, on 05/11/2008, -8/+38Actually, all you have to do is a tiny bit of research to find out you're full of *****. News Corp own Fox Entertainment Group. Fox Entertainment Group owns Fox Televisision Stations Group. WNYW (Fox 5) is one of the television stations in that group. So, it is the same.
- bigsimpsin, on 05/11/2008, -12/+38I am not liberal. I am just smart enough to see how biased almost any media can be, with any branch of Fox news being high on the list.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -0/+25I pee-peed lumber. Is that still OK?
- mikephimikephi, on 05/11/2008, -9/+33People, fox5 != fox news
- dexter411, on 05/11/2008, -1/+24Uh... the picture of his wife is because it's the same picture. Husbands and wives do sometimes appear together...
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -0/+25They are.
- athrasher, on 05/11/2008, -10/+35Note necessarily man. It looked to me like they try to put a relevant still or footage behind the opening graphics for visual purposes. It could also be a mistake by the director where there is supposed to be an active background behind the intro(to see through transparent areas), and he had the wrong source punched up. The only way to know for sure would be to get a sample from other broadcasts of theirs.
Perhaps the guy who originally posted it(or someone else in NYC) could oblige. - Spinfusor, on 05/11/2008, -3/+25True, but WNYW is owned by News Corp.
- Tyrghast, on 05/11/2008, -6/+27They are a subsidiary of the fox news corporation. They pay to use the name and present Fox-approved stories. On paper they may not be the same company, but in practice they are identical.

- adammharvey, on 05/11/2008, -1/+22thats what i call really ***** editing, who ever tried to make that look that way is a complete moron and should go back to film school.
- thedragon4453, on 05/11/2008, -1/+22is it really? This doesn't seem beyond the MInistry of Truth to me.
- e68895f, on 05/11/2008, -12/+34Trust the psy corps. Psy corps is your friend.
- damndj, on 05/11/2008, -4/+22Actually yes.
- TheInformer, on 05/11/2008, -17/+38Gee, an image of John McCain on a news channel. Seems as odd as seeing a picture of Barack Obama on MSNBC, CNN, or the Huffington Post.
. - Stuart750, on 05/11/2008, -1/+20Weazel News!
- Csaliture, on 05/11/2008, -1/+18Not now Jerry.
