Who's your news?
Fox news rated accurate 18% of the time. 1 Read some of the outright lies told to people on Fox News. The only one of their talking heads I admit to liking is Bill O'Reilly mostly because he is a bit more honest than most and because he makes it clear when asked that he is NOT a journalist, he is an entertainer. These "FOX Correspondents" do a great inustice to real news organizations because their whole spiel is right-wing propaganda, not news and seldom based on fact...certainly not fact checked!
What does all this say about FOX personalities? Which of the following do you think is most true?
- They are willfully ignorant of facts
- They know they lie but don't care
- They have abandon personal ethics for cash
- They are stooges for the political right
- All of the above.
-----------
For example:
ERIC BOLLING said
"In countries where there are higher, more strict gun laws, there is more gun violence."
FALSE, we lead the world in gun violence except war zones!

I am not saying all news organizations are pure and accurate all the time but most real news organizations do check facts. There is always a bias even if it is in the decisions of what to report and what to ignore in the news. There are liberal outlets who choose to report news with a positive liberal bias, however I am not familiar with any that resort to outright lies as part of their reporting.
FOX is not a news organization despite it's fancy logo, it is a conservative entertainment platform dedicated to the proliferation of ignorance in support of right wing politics. The fact that the right relies on lies and misinformation says a lot about their integrity...or lack there of. If a political movement is based on lies and false propaganda it is unworthy of the American people...even those who believe this crap!
