(And people call Fox News liars while ignoring important, totally false statements from very important officials.)
there are couple of reasons why people call FOX news liars.
1. They went to court to prove you don't have to tell the truth to their audience. If you just wanted to tell the truth then you wouldn't have to do this.
2. Rupert Murdoch said the FOX isn't news it's infotainment.
Didn't the government change the law so it made it legal for them to lie to the public?
Oh yea, they did!
For decades, a so-called anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government’s mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences. But on July 2, that came silently to an end with the implementation of a new reform passed in January. The result: an unleashing of thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption in a reform initially criticized as a green light for U.S. domestic propaganda efforts. So what just happened?
U.S. Repeals Propaganda Ban, Spreads Government-Made News to Americans
Yet hear you are blaming Fox news for making false statements, while supporting a government who thinks it's okay???
You crack me the hell up Buster!
Can you point out where I said it was ok for the government to lie? I only said FOX went to court to prove they could lie didn't I? You are a little bit delusional assuming things I never said.

But then I don't get those anti-media songs from the music I listen to. If people don't see what's right before their eyes, they never will. I won't be kicking a dead dog and will spread the message though videos like I posted here. Have fun talking to a wall!

Just wanted to agree with you on that one and say hi from a fellow union brother...IATSE Local 285. I can say there isn't much done in the world of entertainment that's broadcast or booked in a major venue that isn't run by IATSE...for example I worked for Obama during his first election setting up for a campaign speech...I can't stand the man but food has to come from somewhere and he pays well so I guess that's all it boils down to.

How does so much [false news] get into the American newspapers, even the good ones? Is it because journalists, as a class, are habitual liars, and prefer what is not true to what is true? I don't think it is. Rather, it is because journalists are, in the main, extremely stupid, sentimental and credulous fellows -- because nothing is easier than to fool them -- because the majority of them lack the sharp intelligence that the proper discharge of their duties demands.

H. L. Menchken would agree with Nugent.

And I agree with both Nugent, and Mencken.
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. H. L. Mencken
