Hats off to the reporting... Loving the docted photo...
I won't be in the business of defending Fox News but the the story clearly states the claim of a meeting is attributed to North Korean television:

With tensions rising, North Korea's Kim met his top brass and urged them to bolster the nation's defenses, the North's official Korean Central News Agency said. Officers greeted him with rousing cheers of "Fight at the cost of our lives!"

The Fox account in turn quite accurately states "it was unclear when the rally took place, or how many attended."

Doctored photo?

There's actually been quite a bit of Fox-navel gazing lately as they celebrated their 10th anniversary. One example:

A biased examination published in the LA Times.

And an interesting and accurate analysis of new media in the Washington Post today.
