Don’t Believe Everything You See On The Internet: Fox News Edition

By Alex Weprin 

A photo has been making the rounds on Twitter, Facebook and some blogs that purports to show a rather awful series of graphic mistakes by Fox News Channel when reporting a story on the gunman that was killed in the city of Toulouse, France yesterday.

There is just one big, glaring problem: it’s a fake.

That little issue isn’t stopping people from sharing it as though it were real of course. The original photo was from a Fox News program last June, which we wrote about at the time as it featured an actual graphic mistake.
