Faux News Does It Again

[DavidS]

good grief, why don't you just LIST all the murders that HAPPENED during the Bush 8 yrs and blame him for those too.

Because the host didn't make the statement that there weren't murders in the US under Bush. He did make the statement that there weren't any terrorist attacks under Bush. The implication is that Bush kept us safe and Obama has not. The more, broad reaching implication is that the Conservative movement is a movement that will keep people safe while the Liberal movement is one that will not.

There is absolutely no evidence to believe that whatsoever. This is just an ignorant statement and as a journalist on national TV, he should not have said it.

Ask any 'journalist' - they're actually called broadcasters but I'm being a tad pedantic... anyway.... ask any one of them... absolutely any.... if they have ever said something they should not have said - particularly during a live program - and every single one of them will have at least a few classic 'foot in mouth' moments. It's the price of live commentary. Most of the time, they work off script (ie they don't have scripted comments). I'd be prepared to bet that most of us have, at some time in our lives, said something and realized later that we were totally wrong. It's called being human.

So how much is the White house paying all you left wing liberals for making up lies about fox news? The Obama admin has tried to exclude Fox from being included in interviews...and they lied about it. Obama is trying his hardest to PREVENT freedom of speech...he needs to be impeached! Well, guess that wouldn't do any good either, Clinton was impeached and it meant nothing!
Has there ever been another president that has done this????

Documents Show Obama White House Attacked, Excluded Fox News Channel | Judicial Watch

Let me get this straight - you believe a sitting president of the United States of America, should be impeached and removed from office for avoiding interviews with a news organization that distorts the truth and lies and edits interviews to make Democrats and Liberals look bad?

First, avoiding interviews isn't a violation of the first amendment.
Second, it would only be a violation of the freedom of the press, if people from Fox News were arrested and detained for publishing a story about the Obama administration that it didn't want published. No one from Fox News or any other news organization has ever been arrested for publishing a negative report about the federal government.

Last I checked the banner in the corner said Fox News

Does he know that 9-11 happened during Bush? Of course he does

But he is so wrapped up in the Fox News dogma of "Bush kept us safe" that he glossed over the whole attack. The fact that nobody in the panel mentioned 9-11 highlights Fox News "Fair and balanced" lunacy

But you directed that comment at Stephanie... inferring that she (and by the 'you people' all other conservatives) think 9-11 is a joke. We don't. But why do you think it is ok to use the victims of a terror attack as a partisan point scoring opportunity? That's sick.

The context of the post was replying to Stephanies dismissive reply. It did not apply to you or anyone else on the right

awww, did I dimiss you? you bet I do because I won't play your games.
Now you are dismissed, again..

Who's freaking out? I'm not freaking out.

The big picture here is that viewers who are watching Fox News are mis-led on a regular basis.

Another example would be Sean Hannity pointing out that our deficit was $9 trillion in 2008 when the elections were held, but in 2009, the debt jumped to $11 trillion. He's obviously trying to make you believe that Bush, a conservative, was a responsible spender and that Obama, a liberal is an irresponsible spender. What he doesn't tell you is that the deficit jumped when the Bailout Bill was passed under Bush, but that debt was added onto the 2009 budget, not the 2008 budget. But the biggest expense was the Iraq War which served absolutely no purpose to US interests whatsoever. Hussein had no WMDs and it costs us thousands of lives and billions of dollars. Also, the tax cut in 2001 and 2002 did nothing for the economy, but cost us billions of dollars.

When you DECREASE income, you INCREASE debt!

I think it was a mistake. Of course he knew 9-11 happened under Bush. But it is a mistake that is happening more and more on Fox News as the message "Bush kept us safe after 9-11" slowly evolves to just "Bush kept us safe"

This guy even stated there were no terrorist attacks under Bush "that he could recall". It just seems the message is evolving on Fox

The only correction I would make is that war & the Afghn/Paki war are going to end up costing > 4-5 TRILLION not billion. Both started under the previous Repub admin and left unfinished AND unpaid-for when he left office. Add to that a TRILLION $, Repub Rx bill that was, you guessed it, unpaid-for. That "stuff" adds up.

So another words you are just trying to be a good samaritan.

How nice, but maybe your time would be better spent teaching the homeless to grow their own alfalfa sprouts.

please, I'm sure THE PEOPLE who watch Fox news was SMART to know what the guy meant and didn't mean..I get sick of hearing how people who watch Fox news are too stupid to understand or figure out something for themselves.

If you are going to attack Fox news, then go through and LIST all the news channels and their distortions, mistakes and just out right lies.
and sorry to tell you but your LIST was stupid. it had murders on there done by whackjobs of no fault of Bush. so you were being disingenuous to begin with.

He should really do some research before going on air.
