Faux "news" caught lying again
today the were ripping in to Obama for issuing a proclamation for Ramadan and resfusing to issue on for Easter.
only 2 problems with that
1. He didnt issue a proclamation he made a statement about it (just like Bush did in 2008)
2. no president has issued an Easter proclamation in 20 years

why doesnt faux just drop the pretense of being fair and balanced and just admit that they lie and make things up???

1. Because if they were fair and balanced, they would lose their base
Fear and hate are their standards.

2. There is a new network in American cable.
It arrived August 1st... It is now based in NYC for it's North American HQ.

Last week I heard someone on BBC said the network is surprisingly very unbiased and factual and does good investigative stories.

Even Hilary Clinton commented on them.

This is a good article and watch the video. You will like it.

4. Has Faux even mentioned the phone hacking scandal yet?

I doubt it. Even though all other news outlets consider it a major story.
But then, Faux never was in the "news outlet" category.
