Oops! Fox News Confuses Conyers For Jefferson

Fox News had to apologize today for mistakenly running footage of House Judiciary Committee John Conyers (D-Mich.) during a segment about the indictment of Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.). TPM has the story.

Conyers had the following statement on the mix-up:

"Fox News has a history of inappropriate on-air mistakes that are neither fair, nor balanced. This type of disrespect for people of color should no longer be tolerated. I am personally offended by the network's complete disregard for accuracy in reporting and lackluster on-air apology." - House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI)
