Fox Station ‘Accidentally’ Depicts President Obama As Sex Assault Suspect, No Correction Issued

Fox Station ‘Accidentally’ Depicts President Obama As Sex Assault Suspect, No Correction Issued
Author: John Prager February 14, 2015 3:11 pm

Earlier this week, a Fox “News” guest said that President Obama’s factual remarks about the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition at the National Prayer Breakfast were “frankly verbal rape.” But one local Fox affiliate took the “rape” allegations to a whole new extreme.

This week, Fox 5 San Diego experienced a rather unfortunate case of the Friday the 13ths. On its 10 o’clock newscast, the station mistakenly listed the President as the suspect in a sex assault at San Diego State University.

The actual suspect, Francisco Paiva Sousa, was arrested on December 8 and accused of oral copulation with force and false imprisonment with force. Ultimately, after Sousa posted $100,000 bail, the District Attorney’s office rejected the case on January 28.

Just four minutes into the Fox 5 broadcast, anchor Kathleen Bade explained:

The only suspect in a sex assault at SDSU will not be charged.

As she spoke those words, the President’s photo flashed on screen, accompanied by a caption that read, “NO CHARGES.”

Does this answer your question?

PBO needs to sue the shit out of Fox for defamation. Fox either knows they're libeling the President or they don't give a rat's ass about the truth. All they want to do is paint the President as the dangerous criminal Murdoch is.

We need to declare war on them. We have no room in our party for corporate, spineless leaders.

Does Fox have some secret Fox Mannequin Factory where they make clones of Meagyn Kelly?

so I guess the President should be happy he was the one labeled with "No Charges" against him.

that was fucking on purpose. The newscaster and all the fox news assholes who facilitated this need to be lined up and shot.

I know that is harsh, but obviously they will stop at nothing to fuck with 300 million American citizen's psyche, and that shit is worse than all most any crime they have performed before. They are becoming goddamned brazen about it. They need to be STOPPED!
