White House Trolls Fox

  If the bullsh*t artists over at Fox News didn’t know that the White House loathes them, they know now.

  
  
  

  I sat next to Brian Williams, and we all had these place cards, and his said ‘Brian Williams, NBC News.’ And across from me was David Muir – the new guy on ABC — it said ‘David Muir, ABC News.’ And I looked at mine, and it doesn’t say anything about news. It just says ‘Fox.’ And I looked at Bret Baier’s, and it said, ‘Bret Baier, Fox.’ And all the rest of them said news.

  Good.
  
  Fox "News" sucks anyways.

  Fox Stories, not news. They should be legally banned from using the word "news".

  Too bad they were sued and it was found that, according to US law, it is OK for news media to make up lies and pass it off as news.
  
  Meanwhile... Paris mayor: I'm suing Fox News over false report on Muslim 'no-go' zones
  
  

  Anne Hidalgo tells CNN that ‘the honor of Paris’ has been harmed
  Fox News reported there were areas where even police feared to tread
  ...
  Previously, Steve Emerson, a “terrorism expert” talking-head also on Fox News, went one step further, labelling Birmingham – a city of more than a million people – as being a place where “non-Muslims simply don’t go in”.
  
  UK prime minister David Cameron told ITV news that he “choked on his porridge” when he first heard the comments, before saying that Emerson was “clearly an idiot”.

  It really is. Yet the sad part is that most conservatives in America listen to that shit and take it at it's word. You talk to my father or my brother Frank and you'll find out that they buy into that shit. They are so fucking thick headed and stupid I want to punch them in the fucking face.

  It's actually a lot more sad than you'd think:
  

  In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States.
  
  Back in December of 1996, Jane Akre and her husband, Steve Wilson, were hired by FOX as a part of the Fox “Investigators” team at WTVT in Tampa Bay, Florida. In 1997 the team began work on a story about bovine growth hormone (BGH), a controversial substance manufactured by Monsanto Corporation. The couple produced a four-part series revealing that there were many health risks related to BGH and that Florida supermarket chains did little to avoid selling milk from cows treated with the hormone, despite assuring customers otherwise.
  
  According to Akre and Wilson, the station was initially very excited about the series. But within a week, Fox executives and their attorneys wanted the reporters to use statements from Monsanto representatives that the reporters knew were false and to make other revisions to the story that were in direct conflict with the facts. Fox editors then tried to force Akre and Wilson to continue to produce the distorted story. When they refused and threatened to report Fox’s actions to the FCC, they were both fired.(Project Censored #12 1997)

  This is why people need to stop taking their facts from TV and radio talk hosts and do their own god damn research >.>
  
  Clearly you can't trust the media if all they are going to do is distort the facts. Sadly that won't happen cause most of America is full of dumb ass sheep that don't know how to think for themselves.
