Now they are saying it was a minor accident with minor injuries and he was released from hospital.

I guess this is why they call it Fox News. We spin the news for you.

Yeah, this is kind of ridiculous -- they keep showing "Tiger Woods seriously injured" on ESPN News... if they already released him from the hospital, how seriously injured could he be?

Watch him shoot a 65 round on Monday at his golf tourney.

Same with ESPN the other day when they said Iverson retired. It was all over ESPN. Next day Iverson said he wasn't retired.

If you're gonna rip fox news for stuff like this, nobodys going to listen when they actually do things that are stupid. Every media outlet was reporting this thing the same way, turn it down a notch on the Right-bashing until it's deserved.

The first link that was posted at SBR was from Fox News but all news channels are wrong because they went with the story that will make them money instead of investigating themselves and reporting it was overblown out of proportion.

The news never does that. Shame on your for questioning journalistic integrity.

I agree that all media is geared to generating interest as opposed to reporting the facts, I'm just saying don't single out Fox News for this one, wait until they report something actually ridiculous that no one else would, I.E. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/0..._n_198851.html

Makes sense that it would first be reported on SBR via Fox, lotta Righties round these parts.

How can you possibly blame fox news?

The Florida Highway Patrol reported Woods's injuries as serious. Patrol spokesman Kim Montes said injuries are considered serious if they require more than minor medical attention.

Maybe you should take that up with medical staff instead of Fox news.
