 Jaw-dropper of the day 
 
 What the hell is going on at Fox 35, the Fox News affiliate in Orlando, Florida? 
 
 Do you mean to tell me that nobody in the editorial chain for this story realized that they were not covering a “civil rights group” … but the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi organization that uses a swastika for their logo? 
 
 Really? Civil Rights Group Patrolling Sanford.

 In this video of their broadcast, you can see this isn’t just a fluke headline — the anchor refers to the Nazis as a “civil rights group” by name. 
 
 “There’s another civil rights group in town: the National Socialist Movement.” 
 
 And you can also see that they went to the Nazis’ website, and must have looked directly at its swastika logo. In the whole clip there isn’t even a hint of the National Socialist Movement’s true nature, except when they interview one of the Nazis and he denies that they’re a hate group — an assertion that goes completely unchallenged. 
 
 Again: what the hell is happening at this news channel, that they can’t distinguish between a “civil rights group” and an armed gang of white supremacists and neo-Nazis? Un-freaking-believable.

 Fox 35 Orlando has now deleted the page from their site, but the URL still shows the title, and the article is still showing up in their ‘Featured’ list with the “Civil Rights Group” headline. 
 
 Here’s the new version: White Rights Group Patrolling Sanford. 
 
 A “white rights group?” Is that supposed to be an improvement? These assholes are not speaking for my rights. 
 
 Yet another headline at Fox 35 finally gets it right: Neo-Nazi Group Patrolling Sanford. 
 
 When encountering Nazis the proper response is “Fuck off, white power loser” - not “allow me to read your press release on TV, sir” — Charles Johnson (@Lizardoid) April 8, 2012
– When the National Socialist Movement started patrolling the streets of Sanford, Florida, in response to the uproar over Trayvon Martin's death, many media outlets mentioned the fact that the NSM is made up of neo-Nazis. But not Fox News' Orlando affiliate, which described the organization as a "civil rights group," Think Progress reports. Little Green Footballs was the first to make note, pointing to an article on MyFoxOrlando with the headline, "Civil rights group patrolling Sanford," as well as to a news broadcast in which a reporter says, "There's another civil rights group in town" when referring to the NSM (which uses a swastika in its logo). The MyFoxOrlando article was later removed, but Little Green Footballs has a screenshot. It was reportedly first replaced by an article with the headline, "White rights group patrolling Sanford," which was also taken down (see a screenshot of that headline here) before finally being replaced with the current headline, "Neo-Nazi group patrolling Sanford." Also troubling is the nature of the video broadcast, which ThinkProgress calls "shockingly uncritical" of the group. The reporter did not question any of leader Jeff Schoep's claims (including, Little Green Footballs notes, his claim that the NSM is not a hate group) nor did she mention the organization's Nazi ties.
