Long list of Fox News lies. Make what you want out of it. Me, they should be shut down. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/04/07/fox-has-absolutely-no-journalistic-ethics-and-heres-a-long-list-of-their-lies-videos/ Edited by Thumper, Mar 12 2014, 03:53 AM.

Where to begin. OK, let's look at this item from your article. quote: 10) There’s been more debt formed under Obama than every other president combined. While the debt has certainly increased under Obama, and it’s debatable whose fault that is, there has not been more formed under Obama than all other presidents combined. In fact, the debt has increased about 40%, from $11 trillion to $15 trillion. We’re a nation founded on debt. Other conservatives from other networks have tried to claim the same thing, but it simply isn’t true. A. Tell me Thumper if you see anything off about the figures in the item. Hint, we blew past $15 trillion and we blew past $17 trillion. B. Name a single presidential administration that had a larger increase in debt than the current one. And this is after five years with three more years to go. C. Given the amount of debt increase in five years, what will the debt be when this administration leaves office based on current projected numbers. D. Who lied about item 10 or distorted the facts, FOX news or the author? I'll revisit the thread once you have addressed the above four points. |

That comment doesn't make any sense Thumper. I assume when you post a thread you have something within you want to discuss. It's not up to be to make anything out of the opinion piece. I read it and then remarked on the lack of factual evidence being used to assert the author's position. |

I'd prefer to say that "they all distort." But, I'm thinking Pat's "retort" is suggesting that Thumper is propagating the author's distortion, bought into it completely and would be willing to shut down Fox and deny them their freedom of speech. I'm thinking that is exactly what our president would like to do... shut Fox down and deny them their freedom of speech. Really, something has caused the FCC to give "monitoring" of news media more than a little thought. Edited by Banandangees, Mar 12 2014, 10:13 AM.
