Discussion: Reporters Call Out Fox News For Saying Moore Accuser 'Forged' Yearbook Note

Stay classy Fox News, Stay classy.

Fair and balanced my ass. This is nothing but a propaganda channel. It ought to change its name to Pravda.

Remember when Ailes got the boot a year and a half ago and and Rupert took over temporarily? Turns out it wasn’t so temporary. Rupert is having too much fun talking to Trump all the time, propagandizing on his and the Republicans’ behalf, and pulling Trump’s strings with what Fox runs.

Fox hasn’t been sued in the last couple of weeks.

TPM had reached out to a Fox News spokesperson regarding the factual basis for the first assertion above, but received no response.

Factual basis? That’s easy. It’s the fact that 99% of those who produce “news” for Fox are shills not just for the right-wing, but the most extreme maniacs of the right-wing.

She should sue for libel. FOX NEWS would have a very hard time hiding behind press shield laws because it’s pretty clear they reported WITH MALICE.

My mom has female acquaintances in her church group that occasionally opine out loud that women probably shouldn’t be able to vote. Granted, that’s in the Midwest, but I think we’re once again missing the boat if we think degrading women is a dealbreaker for a huge segment of women, particularly white women.

Viewed academically, the Trump movement has brought some very ugly truths about large swaths of the American population into the light. The assumption that “women are equal to men” and “blacks are equal to whites” were now effectively universally believed is being exposed as dangerously false.

…and these are the SAME outrage FOX employees that screamed and whined and sniveled about Brian Ross just a few days ago…how quickly they forget.

That is the problem with Dems pushing Al Franken out. Getting rid of him just proves to a very large section of the country that Dems are stupid. After all, “those women should not have been in the position where a man could harass or assault them. Or they should be honored by attention from any man. After all, those girls asked for Moore’s interest. His future wife dancing. Dancing! The strumpet! We shouldn’t let people like that vote!”

Fox News is the flagship of FAKE NEWS. They wouldn’t know a true fact if they fell over it!

Other than teachers or other staff at a high school, who else has someone in his 30s sign their yearbook? Having once been a high-school girl, I remember all the kids hanging out on the quad passing around yearbooks to sign, but I don’t recall any local District Attorneys in the group.

That said, it makes perfect sense to me that a high-school girl who is dating a man twice her age would ask him to sign her most special book and he would oblige because it was something important to her. That’s the creepy part.

What in the ever fucking fuck is going on? I’ve been out looking at the coverage of this story by the SCLM and they’re all on board with the idea that the lede here isn’t “handwriting expert confirms it’s Roy Moore’s inscription and signature.” No, the lede is that she “admits” she added the date and place and that this somehow completely undermines the entire story.

Compare and contrast to the coverage of the Franken story.

Goddamn. It’s like they all reverted back to their 2003 mode.

Nice to see some in the political media pushing back against Fox News, the largest purveyor of propaganda in the country. Until the big names, CNN, NYT, etc., begin policing their own in regards to Fox News not much will change in this country.

AH But the Strawberries! THATS WHERE I HAD THEM!

FOX news is a dumpster fire of outright lies and innuendo masquerading as a News Show.

Malpractice by Allred. That should have been made clear in the very first press conference.

Following their twisted, hyper-partisan, propaganda to it’s logical conclusion means the the ENTIRE US CONSTITUTION is a FORGERY because it was SIGNED by several people after it was written.
Same thing with the DECLARATION of INDEPENDANCE. Why, the ENTIRE USA is based upon LIES and FORGERIES!

and don’t even get me STARTED on the BIBLE and how many “authors” it has!!!

Sadly, it wouldn’t even matter. I’m starting to lose real hope that anything will change as long as Fox continues the way it’s going. Obstruction, who cares. Mueller firing, justice done because he was partisan. Where the hell does this end? How the hell can it end? I fear it will only take a seriously catastrophic event.
