All networks show crowds from one day and state that they really occurred on another day? I don't think so.

How is lying about a piece of video not intended to mislead?

...Sometimes the live shots are so far from the story location that at the end when the announcer has to state his location, it's sometimes in a different county!
Right. Maybe that's one reason honest networks have their announcers state their locations.

These recent "mistakes" with the fake video are part of a pattern with Fox. If you spend some time with google or mediamatters, you can probably find the times when Fox reported on Republican politicians who had been caught doing something really bad. Fox puts the picture of the politician on the screen with a "D" after his or her name, instead of an "R". They've done it repeatedly. Each time they just say, "Oops."

Fox = Fraud.
