Top headline on their site today - "Did the White House Lie about Libya?" Great font, too. Bold & big.

In the article, their only justification for such a headline is "Republican charges" against the President. This is how unfounded charges and innuendo become "news," and eventually become "fact."

Stephen Colbert nailed it a few weeks ago..."If you put a statement in the form of a question, is that journalism?"

The very same thing happened on the View the other day.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck kept repeating over and over "I don't know if it's true or not. I read it on the internet and I'm just putting it out there"

Innuendo repeated as fact over and over and over until it becomes "the truth" to those nutbars.

It had to do with the whole Petraeus scandal...

Hasselbeck said:

"There are a ton of conspiracy theories out there right now. One is that this is a Benghazi cover-up and [the Obama administration] didn't want Petraeus to testify. I'm just saying what's out there," Hasselbeck said over groans from her fellow co-hosts. "Is the timing fishy? Sure, and look."

"No, I don't think it's fishy," Walters said, interrupting Hasselbeck.

"Regardless," a somewhat flustered Hasselbeck continued, "we don't know if this is—we don't have the details. What we do know, and in fact what I feel most sad about is that on the weekend of Veterans Day, this is ironically what we're talking about."

That's priceless. We don't have the details, so let's just assume there is a mountain of lies & massive cover-up.
 
I guess this is really only the Cokie Roberts' rule, updated for the cyber age. Cokie Roberts actually once stated

"At this point," said Roberts, "it doesn't much matter whether she said it or not because it's become part of the culture. I was at the beauty parlor yesterday and this was all anyone was talking about."

regarding some bullshit about Hillary Clinton.

Actually, it's really nothing like those. At all.

Why don't you look at the bold headline on Fox's front news page, and then go back to the links you posted above, and explain why these are different to the rest of the class, professor?

You're really batting zero today, btw.

I haven't seen Cokie in years. I actually didn't know she was still working.

Hasselbeck's the biggest airhead on TV. She doesn't have two working brain cells to rub together.

Cokie was right.....pinheads are still claiming today that Bush blamed Saddam for 9/11.....

Of course, he didn't, but its become 'part of the culture'.....the pinhead culture that is.
