Shockingly, all of the far right extremists on this board who sprint to their 'puter to post anything that could incriminate CNN, WaPo, NYT, etc. ... they don't seem to have addressed this little whoopsie ... one of many in a long line of intentional deceptions ...

On Friday, Fox News published several digitally altered images of the demonstrations on its website, which the Seattle Times caught. It's not clear who is responsible for tweaking the images.

One photo, shown on Fox's homepage on Friday, placed a man with a rifle standing in front of a sign that reads "You are now entering Free Cap Hill." The street scene and the man who appears in it come from two different photos, taken more than a week apart.

The sign in that photo refers to the newly-dubbed Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, a stretch of six blocks set up by protesters in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood to create "a police-free" independent zone, The Guardian reported. It was established after the Seattle police abandoned a precinct in the neighborhood and converted the area into a festival-like space.

The conservative outlet also published a photo of a person running past a fiery building and car to accompany stories on the Seattle protest. The headline read "CRAZY TOWN." The photo is actually from St. Paul, Minn. and was taken on May 30, according to the Seattle Times.
