Fox's Tantaros: If You See Any Obama Voters Today, "Do Me A Favor: Punch 'Em In The Face" | Video | Media Matters for America

Not surprising that Fox News has descended to a new low by encouraging their viewers to physically assault people who voted for Obama.

Heh...don't have to look to even some obscure statement made by an legitimately outraged Fox News employee (cue the James Rosen Scandal) but right here in TD we have one of your compatriots wanting the GOP people to "Burn In Hell".

You do know Hell isn't real, right?

Spin this Libs!

Fox News CEO Roger Ailes’ May 23 stirring letter to Fox employees will be remembered as a turning point in the battle for freedom of the press in the age of Obama.

The Ailes letter, denouncing the Obama administration’s trampling on the First Amendment, should be seen, of course, as a strong defense of Fox correspondent James Rosen. In addition, the Ailes letter--in truth, a manifesto--is a staunch vindication of Fox News and its “speak-truth-to-power” approach to journalism. Finally, the Ailes Manifesto should be seen as a clarion call for freedom--for freedom of the press, and also for the freedom of all Americans to think freely, liberated from the MSM thought-monopoly."

No Wonder Fox News Is On Obama's Enemies List, Eh?

Oh my, Booners is in a frenzy trying to get something started today! Which one is this? Watergate times ten or the final proof you have been promising for months? All this stroking and nothing to show for it.

Fox Slammed by L.A. Times — ‘Shouldn’t Call Itself a News Organization’

"
After several revelations of Fox’s blatant bias, the rest of the corporate media may finally be catching on.
On Friday, the Los Angeles Times broke a taboo of sorts among mainstream news organizations by urging Fox News to “crack down on… partisanship in its news ranks” or ”stop pretending to be an objective news source.”

No mate, this happened way back on December 2010.

These days everyone except Teanderthal wingnuts like Booners and Pseudo know that FOX "news" is just a Republican propaganda organization.

Interesting to note that around the same time the non-partisan watchdog Politifact awarded its “Lie of the Year” award to the FOX News claim that the health-care bill passed by Congress represented a “government take-over” – a lie that Fox "news" “repeatedly promoted” on their network's “news” programs.

Heh...nobody but far-left Moonbats of the TDMA variety watch the Madcow anymore?

MSNBC Falls Below HLN in May, Rachel Maddow Hits Lows

Then there's this: Fox News Channel maintains a handsome lead in primetime and total day, while primetime runner-up CNN continues a healthy climb from the lows of 2012.

Pretty Bad When Hannity & Piers Morgan Get More Viewers Than The Always Truthful Rachel Madcow Don't You Think?

No surprise that a geriatric right wing nut job like Trailer Trash Booners would be a Fox fan. It is after all the propaganda wing of the Republican party, which, as we all know, caters almost exclusively to old white men.

Senior citizens are powering Fox. The network has the oldest audience on all of television. The average age of a Fox News viewer is 66 years old and the decline in younger viewership is the biggest long term threat to the network’s survival.

Younger more educated people aren’t voting Republican and they aren’t watching Fox News.

Why don't we start a list of all the blatant LIES that FOX "news" has reported in recent years? This could take a while...

The Serial Fox News LIE About Drops in Net Worth Under President Obama

The Lie?On a number of Fox News shows on June 12th, 2012 Karl Rove, Steve Doocy, Sean Hannity and Patti Ann Browne overstated and misstated the findings contained within a Federal Reserve Board Survey by claiming that a 38.8 percent drop in the median net worth of Americans had taken place during “the last three years.” (Read: It’s all Obama’s fault)



The Truth
The Federal Reserve Survey clearly states that the period covered was between 2007 and 2010. In other words, there was a concerted effort at Fox News to blame the entire drop in net worth on President Obama, when much of it began under President George W. Bush.

Fox "news" sure gives Jon Stewart a lot of material-

Jon Stewart on Fox News' Most Slanderous Lies about the President: "Barack-tose Intolerance"


Last night Jon Stewart traced the history of Fox News' vicious slander of President Obama.







October 23, 2012 |

On the evening of the last televised presidential debate, when President Obama solidly trumped his opponent Mitt Romney, it's fitting that The Daily Show would harken back to another great moment in debate history: Jon Stewart's Rumble in the Airconditioned Auditorium against Bill O'Reilly. At that debate, puny Stewart rose (literally--he constructed a moveable platform behind his podium) to confront the towering Fox News strongman and then climbed even further, all the way to the dizzying heights of the station's deeply flawed mythology. And the pile of propaganda he scaled throughout that evening he gave the name: Bullsh-t Mountain.
Last night, Stewart once again visited this mountain to trace the history of Fox News' vicious slander of President Obama. From the President's supposed socialism to his missing birth certificate to his his plot to force everyone to ride bicycles, here's a rundown of the station's sickness "Barack-tose Intolerance."



Stewart calls it like he sees it, describing FOX "news" as: "A biased organization, relentlessly promoting an ideological agenda under the rubric of being a news organization."

It's got the Daily Show segment embedded but I couldn't figure out how to embed it on this forum. Jon Stewart rocks!

^Classic.

Karl Rove’s (Repeated) LIE About President Obama’s Loan to Brazil

The Lie? On the February 20th, 2012 edition of the Fox News show Hannity, Fox News contributor Karl Rove (R-Fox News), repeated the falsehood that President Obama gave a ($2 billion) loan to Brazil’s national oil company – Petrobras. According to Rove, “The president even gave a loan to Brazil. Why do they need our money, they’ve got plenty of their own.” Rove’s straight-faced assertions, as it turns out, were really bald-faced lies.

The Truth According to FactCheck.org, the loan to Petrobras, was approved by members of the Bush administration (three Republicans and two Democrats) who were on the board of directors of the U.S. Export-Import Bank. There were no Obama appointees involved with the vote. Additionally, it has also been implied that American tax dollars would be used to make the loan. That, too, is not true. What makes these lies even more egregious is the fact that they have all been refuted since 2009.

Ah, the list of Fox "news" lies is simply endless. Remember this one?

Mike Huckabee’s Lie about President Obama Being a Foreign Student

The Lie?
During the January 20th, 2012 edition of The O’Reilly Factor, Mike Huckabee (R-Fox News), indicated that Gov. Mitt Romney should challenge President Obama to release his college application materials and college transcripts, in exchange for the release of Romney’s tax returns. By having the president release those documents, according to Huckabee, it would be a way “to show whether he got any loans as a foreign student.”

The Truth
Huckabee has repeatedly tried to paint Obama as a foreigner. In fact, he earned Fox News Lies’ “2011 Lie(s) of the Year” honors for first claiming that the president was raised in Kenya, then he claimed he was raised in Indonesia. Both statements have been proven to be false. Huckabee’s latest lie has already been refuted by FactCheck.org, which highlighted how the falsehood about Obama’s supposed scholarship for foreign students was first presented in a false email.

I guess this explains why Fox viewers are so dumb:

People who watch no news at all can answer more questions about international current events than people who watch Fox news.

"Survey: NPR’s listeners best-informed, Fox viewers worst-informed"

"People who watch MSNBC and CNN exclusively can answer more questions about domestic events than people who watch no news at all. People who only watch Fox did much worse. NPR listeners answered more questions correctly than people in any other category."

Not surprising at all. However, I'd imagine they know bugger all about domestic issues other than the lies Fox feed them all the time, too.
