Ironic Fox News Propaganda

Fox News was Fair & Balanced?

Could have fooled me… but they didn’t. And after 15 years of lying out of their ‘whatever’ and many double-takes and laughs along the way, the Fox propaganda department has moved on different deceits… something about ‘trust’ and Kool-Aid. For Fox News propaganda, marketing change, etc., follow the link to The New York Times for more on about Fox marketing malfeasance or read below for recent Fox News deceits noted by Politifact.

Gems from Politifact regarding the veracity of statements made by Fox News pundits. Politifact judged the statements “True” 10% of the time and “False” 39% of the time with shades of truth and deception in between. I’m kind of shocked by the 10%… man, that Fox-flavored Kool-Aid must be special.

Here’s some of Fox pundits’ special deceptions. More at Politifact: http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/tv/fox/
