BeaverFever Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 Fox News uses old clip of Trump after he wore hat while saluting slain US soldiers Conservative outlet aired footage of president saluting at similar ceremony in December for at least three broadcasts Fox News used old video of Donald Trump in multiple reports on Saturday and Sunday, concealing from viewers that the commander-in-chief wore a golf hat throughout a ceremony on Saturday in which he saluted six flag-draped transfer cases carrying the remains of the first US troops to die in his war on Iran. The president had stirred outrage online by failing to remove his Trump-brand white hat during the ritual homecoming at Dover air force base in Delaware on Saturday for six army reserve soldiers killed in Kuwait. On Saturday afternoon, Fox News did initially broadcast the correct video of Trump at the ceremony, showing that he wore a hat as he saluted alongside first lady Melania Trump, JD Vance, second lady Usha Vance, and other officials. Less than an hour later, however, when a Fox News host described the president’s visit to the base for the “dignified transfer earlier today”, viewers were shown old video of Trump at a similar ceremony in December, when he had not worn a hat to salute troops who had died in Syria. That same December video, of Trump saluting as his hair was blown about by the wind, was used again in at least two Foxbroadcasts on Sunday morning …. The same video was used at least one more time on another Fox show, Fox News Sunday, in which a host said, “as the fighting continues, the president pausing for a moment Saturday afternoon to offer a final salute to the six US service members killed in an attack in Kuwait,” while viewers were again shown Trump saluting at the December ceremony and an on-screen graphic wrongly called it video recorded on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon, after the misleading use of the old video was documented on social media by critics of the network – including an X account dedicated to chronicling “Bad Fox Graphics”, the journalist Aaron Rupar, and anti-Trump outlets the Bulwark and MeidasTouch – Fox used parts of the video recorded on Saturday in a subsequent report, but the footage was edited to show just the flag-draped transfer cases and no images of Trump wearing his hat. The president was photographed on Sunday wearing the same hat as he golfed in Florida. The white hat, with gold USA letters on the front and the embroidered numbers 45 and 47 on the side, in honor of Trump’s terms as the 45th and 47th president, is sold online at the Trump Store. Trump and Fox News producers are well aware that behavior considered undignified by presidents at ceremonies for US war dead can be politically toxic. In 2021, when Joe Biden was caught on camera checking his watch at the end of a dignified transfer ceremony for troops killed in Afghanistan, the moment went viral online, was shown repeatedly on Fox News – including with an angry commentary from then Fox host Pete Hegseth – and ended up in a 2024 Trump campaign ad. … https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/08/fox-news-trump-hat-salute-military 1 Quote
BeaverFever Posted March 12 Author Report Posted March 12 So while we all know the Teump cheerleaders will delte this from their memory 5 seconds after reading it, this is just another example of Fox News acting as the Republicans propaganda outlet and their phoney outrage over alleged disrespect of the troops. Why were they so outraged out of Biden briefly glancing at his watch as a reflex AFTER the ceremony but not by Trump deciding not to take off his nasty old golf hat? Quote
Reg Volk Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 yawn Quote As Democrat and Liberal governments fall, Republicans and Conservatives come to the rescue.
Fluffypants Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 Yeah and CNN said that the terrorists that tried to blow up Anti Mandami protestors were actually targeting Mandami Quote

You know the issue is 1) He refused to take off his nasty golf hat when honouring fallen soldiers. EXACTLY the kind of thing Conservatives claim to care about the most and shit their pants over when they think someone on “the left” didn’t show proper respect for. You people shit your pants when Biden glanced at his watch AFTER honouring fallen troops. You’re such dishonest hypocrites and 2) Fox News altering footage to hide this from the public. Didn’t you people just finish shitting your pants over CBS, BBC and other media outlets you claim altered footage and Trump is now suing them for jillion zillion dollars? You’re such dishonest hypocrites Edited March 12 by BeaverFever 2 Quote

Was someone demanding he do this or something? He was literally there, honoring them, saluting. But since you want to bring up Biden, you agree it was dumb for him to glance at his watch?

gatomontes99 Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 All outlets use old footage when they don't have the new footage yet. Maybe they had an issue with the truck that communicates with the home office. Who knows. The fact that they used the actual footage once they had it and before beaver could get his panties in a wad, tells us they had no issue with the real footage.

LMAO I love how you are going out of your way to INVENT excuses that even Fox didn’t try to offer. They had the footage just like every other network did. They used old footage first amd then later when using the correct footage they edited out shots of Teump wearing his hat. Pretty pathetic attempt on your part. 1 hour ago, Legato said: So why are you acting inconvenienced? I am not inconvenienced by Trump amd Fox once again being exposed for what they are.

In sure even someone as depraved clueless as Trump understands instinctively that you remove your hat during national anthems and other solemn ceremonies. Don’t pretend thisnis some rare custom nobody has heard of before. Biden momentarily glanced at his watch AFTER the solemn transfer and your cult still tore their pubes out in an act of what we can now confirm was phoney outrage And you still can’t explain Fox News false and doctored footage to hide Trump’s transgressions from the cult so you hide from it completely 1 Quote
