Yup, that's a picture of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Maybe they figured all their viewers know about Obama is that he's black, so they'd be better off with a picture of a black man instead of a picture of Stephen Douglas.

3	Kar2oonMan Mon 4/28/2008 7:09p	Did Fox News finally discover something all these "liberal" public school history books missed all these years? You decide.
4	dshyates Mon 4/28/2008 8:40p	It was either sinister or mindbogglingly stupid. I would like to think that someone in the chain at FOX News would not actually knows the difference between Fredrick Douglas and Stephen Douglas. After watching FOX for years I have concluded that this truly is the level of expertise and knowledge of the FOX News organisation.
5	Kar2oonMan Mon 4/28/2008 8:45p	Well, they blew it with the photo of Frederick Douglass. But it's at least a little closer to getting the correct Mr. Douglas than the first photo they put up... http://www.themediagiants.com/...acre.jpg

7	dshyates Tue 4/29/2008 5:49a	This is an inexcusably stupid mistake. I worked at CBS station in WV and someone would have gotten fired for such a stupid error. For it to happen at a national news outlet is really sad. It does truely show FOX News level of professionalism. I personally feel that FOX News is the single most dangerous propaganda media tool since Leni Riefenstahl made "Triumphof the Will" for Adolph Hitler. And I feel they played an important role in "selling" this first ever "pre-emptive" war to the American people.

9	dshyates Tue 4/29/2008 6:45a	No, here is a real picture of Steve Douglas. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm37...m0534045 Him and his 3 sons. And Uncle Charlie.
