Faux News

[Mara Lynd]

I'm always amused by the people who think that Fox is a worthy news source. Sadly, they normally can't discern between actual news and the talk noise programs like Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly.

Anyway, Faux has been busted yet again:

Despite the fact that the latest video from biggovernment.com has been proven to be a sham, Fox Nation is still promoting it as "New Undercover Video! Beck and O'Reilly Break Down the ACORN Scandal!" The article quotes Glenn Beck saying that the ACORN employee shown in the video "is also a former hooker herself, who (in this audio tape) admits to killing her abusive husband. Your tax dollars hard at work!" The only problem? Fox knows or ought to know that the ACORN employee did not kill her husband and was punking the videographers. Fox Nation also has Hannity's and O'Reilly's analysis of the now-discredited video. O'Reilly leaves out discussing the "homicide" that didn't happen but still presents the video as credible without noting the questions about it. Screen grab of Fox Nation's front page after the jump.

Terry, this has nothing to do with politics. This is concerning corporate media and the issue of replacing truth and facts with distorted information which is entertaining, but not reliable. I find it amazing that not only do most people not realize they're being misinformed, they don't care.

Distorted information is right on the mark......just because people tune in to the show, people believe them as the truth , the way , and the light........and cannot see the mismanagement of media right before their eyes.

Thanks again Mr. Janes:

You may be a neocon if:

... you think the Constitution was signed by men who were all devout Christians and the nation was founded with a Christian rather than secular government.

... you've ever rendered a strong opinion on any book, magazine article, website, film, TV show or play you've never actually read or seen.

... you think waterboarding is no different than a fraternity prank.

... you think there was actually a War on Christmas outside of Bill O'Reilly's head.

... you think any government program that helps ordinary people is horrible socialism, but when our tax money is spent to pay contractors for shoddy work and overcharges, that's free market capitalism at work.

... you think questions surrounding the events of 9/11 are ridiculous, but firmly believe that the Clintons had something to do with the death of Vince Foster and should be subject to further investigation.

... you think Bush ignoring the August 6, 2001 CIA brief entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in United States" was understandable, since he was on vacation, but are convinced that 9/11 happened because Bill Clinton ignored Al-Qaeda during his presidency.

... you think Osama bin Laden is a lying terrorist sack of crap, yet was telling the truth when said he wanted John Kerry as president in 2004, right before Election Day.

... you still believe Bush and Cheney are moral men with your best interests at heart.

... you don't want to pay a dime for national health care, yet expect a taxpayer-funded emergency room to treat you immediately after you've had an accident.

.. you still think Bush is right even when he's proven wrong, again and again.

... you think every problem America has can be traced to liberals and/or Democrats.

... you've ever called anyone a 'pinko' or 'commie,' especially someone who demonstrably isn't either.

...you don't know the difference between socialism and communism and you don't really care either.

... you think a) Saddam Hussein had WMD and hid them somewhere outside of the country right before the US invaded, or b) you think we found WMD in Iraq.

... you think former CIA covert agent Valerie Plame 'deserved' to be outed because her husband is a 'traitor' who revealed the truth about Bush's phony claims that Iraq tried to buy Niger uranium.

... you think junkies should spend long sentences in jail but Rush Limbaugh should be forgiven for his human frailty.

... you think Ann Coulter is hilariously funny.

... you think talk show blabber Dennis Prager is either a religious expert, conservative intellectual, political philosopher, entirely sane, or all four.

– you are a Christian who experiences temporary blindness whenever you read the Sermon on the Mount.

... you think every word in the Bible was written by God in English, even the letters to the Greeks by Paul.

... you are waiting for Armageddon and believe you will be taken up into heaven during 'The Rapture,' even though you lie to your customers, sell products that are made by slave labor overseas, or own a private mercenary company that murders people in other countries.

... you think individual people need strong laws and strict enforcement to keep them in line, but corporations should be able to make their own rules without government interference.

... you think no-bid contracts are a smart way for the government to do business.

... you think Richard Nixon was brought down by the 'liberal media.'

... you think 'habeas corpus' has something to do with hamsters, so what's the big deal?

... you hate the theory of evolution even though you've never read it. You also hate Charles Darwin without knowing anything about him, and point him out as the perfect example of a 'know-nothing' American liberal. (He was actually British.)

... you've ever read a rant by Michelle Malkin without laughing out loud at its sheer rancorous stupidity.

... you think Charles Krauthammer is sane.

... you still think Karl Rove is a great man.

... you believe might makes right since the Surge is working and the Afghanis just love us.

.. you watch "24″ and believe if we only had a guy like the fictional Jack Bauer in charge of our intelligence operations, we could lick the terrorists in a month or two.

... you are a self-hating closeted gay male Republican politician.

Fox News gets okay to misinform public, court ruling

The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, successfully argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves.
