Did you know that Fox News *Literally* has the right to lie in its "news"?
Yup. It's legal to lie and say your news is "fair and balanced"! lmao
Ever wonder why it is that Fox News can lie over and over again - yet continue to call itself "News"? It's because Fox News is a corporation - and ever since that 1886 Supreme Court case of Southern Pacific Railroad versus Santa Clara County when a rogue court reporter named JC Bancroft Davis slipped corporate personhood into the legal record - the courts have ruled time and time again that corporations - since they have all the rights that actual people have - could also lie just like people can.
Except for one time. Back in 1998 - a political activist named Mark Kasky sued Nike...Fox News Lies Link List
Say that 10 times really fast
- The Courts ALLOW News Media to Lie!
- On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization.
- Roger Ailes caught lying (Fox News CEO)
- It was an incendiary allegation - and a mystery of great intrigue in the media world: After the publishing powerhouse Judith Regan was fired by HarperCollins in 2006, she claimed that a senior executive at its parent company, News Corporation, had encouraged her to lie two years earlier to federal investigators who were vetting Bernard B. Kerik for the job of homeland security secretary.

1. Body language tips,
2. Handling audience tips,
3. Creating a more positive phrase for 'drilling for oil' became 'energy exploration'. (inaccuracy doesn't matter as long as there is a sliver of fact - KISS principle, i.e'. keep it simple stupid),
4. 'climate change' as opposed to 'global warming' , - Overview of the GOP (Colbert Report backed by News Sources)
- Notes/Summary:
1. Republican 'purity test' is basically 'anti-Obama',
2. Republicans believe unsubstantiated rumors,
3. No compromise on the debt ceiling,
4. Republicans have a record of re-naming things (called 're-frame' - see interview with Frank Luntz below). - Overview of "Socialism" by The Colbert Report (backed by news sources) | explorer9360 on Xanga
- GOP Republicans have classified any help to anyone as 'socialism'.
However, That goes against the principles of Christianity and is more in-line with the fictional teachings of Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand's philosophy is of rational self interest and she states that the purpose of life is in pursuing your own happiness with NO regard for others well-being... - Who is Ayn Rand?

O'Reilly Completely Busted on His Lies
Note: Senator from Oklahoma, Tom Coburn M.D., says Bill O Reilly changes the facts to inflame people. True. A ton of proof here...
- Bill O'Reilly's Hypocrisy or lies?
- Bill O'Reilly Defends His Nazi Analogies...
But Bill O'Reilly isn't the only one that changes the facts, the Rupert Murdoch owned Fox News regularly changes its facts and will sometimes even use misleading footage (though if caught they will often apologize acting like it's the first time this ever happened when it's actually a regular occurrence)
Bill O Reilly asks "Fox News Lies about what?" ... The response....
Cenk Uygur gives examples of lies told on Fox News (with Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly and others) in light of Wisconsin protesters calling out the network for lying.
Ever heard of the phrase... "first impression counts"?
Fox News plays a crowd booing Dr. Ron Paul for winning the straw poll but what REALLY happened is quite different.
Fox News lies about events abroad (to create conflict? See this video of Ron Paul questioning the military on the use of military planes as a provocation and then watch the video below)
Protests in Russia have sprung up in reaction to the results of the Russian 2011 election. Fox news has missed the mark when covering the uproars in Moscow. The news media showed footage of riots in Greece claiming that people of Russia were upset at Vladimir Putin and his United Russia party. Is this all by design or a sincere mishap? Marina Portnaya reports.
Here is another example of misleading footage followed by mocking(acting as if this isn't a regular thing)... a standard Hannity tactic...
The night after Sean Hannity is caught by Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" using tape of the "9/12 Rally" in Washington, mixed in with footage of the Congress protest in Washington on November 5, Hannity tells Jon Stewart: "You were right."

great post and on the money. FOX is also known for fabricating charts and graphs. i did a post about one such fabricated Excel chart brought to my attention while watching The Ed Show. in some cases labels of higher value charted below labels of lower values. FOX used the chart to back what they were saying about the economy. i taught Excel on Wall Street. Excel does not lie. it plots and labels data correctly. someone had to have manually changed the labels and/or the line of that chart. fortunately that someone was just stupid enough not to know how to manipulate the chart so not to get caught. of course most television viewers wouldn't notice chart discrepancies and that's what FOX counts on....that people don't know they are lying.
everyone changes the facts. Seen it on all sides, tired of hearing about it like it's only one side. :P
@LKJSlain - The thing is that Faux News sets a standard of dishonesty, fearmongery, and outright propaganda that's truly breathtaking in its scope and magnitude. Sure, all networks sometimes are caught saying something that's inaccurate. But Faux is in another galaxy from that. Their STANDARD is constant, intentional lying.
We're talking apples and oranges here.
Nice try, though. I could hear the desperate sound of the bottom of barrels being scraped when I read your comment.
Fox News is a corporation YES IT'S A RIGHT WING POLITCAL MACHINE full of right wing operatives and that's a fact.
The biggest whopper lately in my eyes?
Hannity saying he has a tape of Obama saying he didn't want to get OBL afterall.
Lawrence or Ed or sone of them confronts Hannity every day, asking where is the tape, and counting the number of days since Hannity has not produced the tape.
@LKJSlain - Not true. There's a huge difference between putting a spin on things and outright bald faced lying. FOX does that latter all the time. That's because it's not really news, it's a right wing organization as, Steve Jobs said, an EVIL FORCE IN SOCIETY.
People spin by showing some things and omitting others, yes that happens. But direct lying, solely belongs to FOX.
@DivaJyoti - Say what you will, I have seen all parties out right bold faced lie.
If you don't believe it happens, then I'm sorry, you don't understand politics or the human condition.
People lie for many reasons.
@Faux_News - Not scraping for anything.
I have seen many people on both sides bold face lie.
Great compilation of some of FOX's unprofessional shenanigans.
@LKJSlain - Say what you will, I have seen all parties out right bold faced lie.
ONE EXAMPLE, GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF A LIE
If you don't believe it happens, then I'm sorry, you don't understand politics or the human condition.
FUCK YOU FOR THAT RUDENESS, WHAT A LOT OF NERVE YOU HAVE TO SAY SUCH A BITCHY THING TO ME! LIKE YOU HAVE CREDENTIALS IN ANYTHING TO BE MAKING A STATEMENT LIKE THAT TO ME? NOT ONLY HARSH AND RUDE ALSO STUPID.
GOD DAMN FUCKING RUDE YOU! If you love your precious lying ass show so much that's FINE but being a rude little snot to someboidy who has only been NICE to you? WHAT THE FUCK?
People lie for many reasons.
DUH. I REALLY NEED YOU TO TELL ME THAT SINCE I HAVE A DOCTORATE IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES.
BITCH MUCH?
I'll pray for the Christian Bitch of the day
@DivaJyoti - I really don't care that you are so steamed over this. I am not.
I don't need to do your homework for you.
You can start by opening up google and typing in "instances in which Republicans lie..." Then do it again and type in, "Instances in which Democrats have lied."
It's really that simple.
@LKJSlain - There is the small matter of DEGREE.
They are so often BLATANTLY lying, or twisting things that I trust them for nothing...not even the time.
@galadrial - Both parties do it.
As I said to Diva, all you need to do is open up google annnnd----
@LKJSlain - I agree. Even though Fox News is notorious for lying, the fact is that everyone lies. Both left and right sides. Politics are all the same crap, democratic or republican.
@PervyPenguin - Ah, and here comes the one with the brain. :)
@LKJSlain - I am steamed about your condescending snotty ass little attitude in the way you spoke to me, that's what I'm steamed about, you said this:
If you don't believe it happens, then I'm sorry, you don't understand politics or the human condition.
You know you're talking to somebody who has expertise in these very fields for longer than you've even been alive.
Disagreeing politely is one thing. That kind of patronizing BITCHINESS is UNCALLED FOR AND BOGUS. You are no one to talk to me like that, Jesus or no Jesus.
If being like THAT is what Jesus is all about, I don't want anything to do with it EVER, such a turn off. No wonder the holy rollers are so disgusting to so many, and to think I've only been so fucking kind to you.
YOU DIDN'T DESERVE IT, RUDE BITCH
@DivaJyoti - I'd also like to say that contrary to politics, anyone who knows me personally will tell you that there's one thing that I do not do and that IS lie... :)
IF you were to ask me just about anything, I'd tell you.
Heck, I've even admitted flat out to wrong doing in secret if a person has flat out asked me.
So no, I'm not a liar.
But that's okay.
@DivaJyoti - Firstly, I am not talking about Jesus... I'm talking about lying, and the fact that people do.
We're not even on religion.
Secondly, I am not the one who's steamed and calling names.
I would say that I'm attempting to debate politely. I am not calling you names or saying curse words.
We can leave God out of it.
@LKJSlain - Guess what you are always carrying on about Jesus, do you just leave Jesus right out of it suddenly when you decide to be a fucking bitch?
You can be a total fucking bitch without using one single curse word, dumb ass!
Here is my pulse:
That's holy roller @LJKSlain lecturing me about my understanding of politics or the human condition. That's only my field for 30 years.
@LKJSlain - NO, nothing about this "is OK."
@DivaJyoti - But the point is, I'm not trying to be. I am merely disagreeing with you.
So... It's okay if you disagree with me... but I honestly wouldn't have exploded at you like that.
@LKJSlain - I didn't call you a liar, I called you a fucking bitch for talking to me that way.
You're just wrong and stupid about FOX but you probably aren't intentionally lying.
@DivaJyoti - NO, nothing about this "is OK."
Welp, there are only two ways we can go about it then.
We can politely shake hands and say, "We disagree." or... ???
@LKJSlain - Whether or not you were TRYING to be, that is exactly what you were. READ IT AGAIN. Read how you spoke to me. You might as well use every curse word in the book.
You dumb ass bible thumpers don't realize it's possible to be rude as shit without using one single word of profanity?
duh
@DivaJyoti - I didn't say that fox didn't lie.
I said BOTH parties do.
-- If you love your precious lying ass show so much that's FINE but being a rude little snot to someboidy who has only been NICE to you? WHAT THE FUCK?
and yes, you did call me a liar. "precious lying ass"
@DivaJyoti - Well, how would you like me to disagree with you politely?
Tell me so that I can learn what you need so that we don't argue in the future.
@LKJSlain - As someone who considers themselves painfully neutral. Don't mind her too much. I'm monitoring this and noticed that you haven't really been disrespectful at all. Don't let it get you down, very few people have the maturity to peacefully disagree.
@LKJSlain - A sincere and PROFUSE apology from your rude self is the only thing I MIGHT consider.
You're the one who hurled rude attacks at me telling me If you don't believe it happens, then I'm sorry, you don't understand politics or the human condition.
That's all I've done, get degrees in politics and psychology and practice those fields for longer than you've been alive. You're disrespectful little attitude is not excusable.
You can try apologizing or you can feel all proud of your holy roller bitchiness. You drive people away from your religion when you're like this, good job.
