Obama Responds to FOX news lies

Jan 24, 2007 22:05

Lies is the only way to put it. FOX is lying to people in order to promote an anti-Obama agenda. This story of Obama being raised as a Muslim extremist is not an especially difficult thing to check. Any credible news agency would check the facts before accusing a well-known public figure of being a muslim extremist. FOX chooses not to check the facts or simply does not care about the facts. Either way, FOX news is not a credible source of news. This mistake is so patently ridiculous that the only respectable thing for FOX to do is to issue a retraction and apologize for the error. Any respectable news agency would note the error and inform their readers/watchers. If FOX fails to apologize for the error, it points to their lack of concern for reporting factual news and their desire merely to promulgate political propaganda.

Obama responded to the lies (or errors if you believe FOX will actually apologize).

How many flattering lies must be told before people desire the truth? Are you a consumer that values hearing what you wish to hear or a citizen that values the truth? Unfortunately, news agencies, including FOX news, are banking on consumerism to prevail. Any time a news agency lies, they need to be held accountable.
