I saw something about it on Twitter. But it's Fox News, so wasn't really that unexpected.

They have been attempting to manipulate the public on a massive scale for a long time, as long as the manipulation serves the preferred narrative.

Surely, NBC, CNN, etc try and do this also?

Note: Don't take this to mean I, in ANY way, support Fox News.

I'm not suggesting they don't but we're not discussing a specific instance on any of those networks, so that's not really at issue here. I think Fox News showed that low-integrity narrative-fitting and selective editing are very profitable. Other networks have probably followed to some extent.
