Fox News Fails Three Days in A Row

(User Submitted) – I am not a viewer of Fox News. Media Matters is, however, and has pointed out three major problems with their graphics department since Monday. On Monday, they aired poll results that stated that the American unemployment rate in November (8.6%) was lower than it was in March (8.8)%. The graph, though, showed the percent for November on the same level as October's percentage (9.0%). On Tuesday, they had a double whammy with maps misidentifying Utah and Vermont as Nevada and New Hampshire. Today might of been the funniest or the worst gaffe from where you stand. Showing current polls for the Iowa Caucus next year on America Live, the graphic had a picture of Obama over the results for Mitt Romney. The last error later resulted in an apology from the show's host, Megyn Kelly. Read the full article.

Whoa! now hold steady! Does Media Matters think Fox actually tries to spew FACTS on its shows? I don't. I think they have Lies and Padding, that's it. This sorta stuff would just be padding or backdrop, so whether they have the figures right in a graph, or a picture of a singing cowboy, it would be just the same to Faux, No?

Nobody watches fox.   2.5 million to 3 million viewers. Less that 1% of the public. Thats the definition of small time.

What was it one of our newsers said on the main grid? God bless Fox News. It's not that they are trying to commit genocide of some kind (yet), but they are the Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda of our time.
