Now, would you please present proof that Fox lies, as you claim.

Thank you.

Right you are. If the libs could catch even a small lie from the Fox camp it would have been NYT front page news.

Bottom Line:

Not one catalogued incident involving FoxNews, "Lying", "distorting", "misrepresenting,or the like.

It gives pause to ask the following questions:

What happened to FoxNews, historically a credible source for news with no incidents or recorded events involving "lying" as charged this year by the Obama administration?
What is it that changed?
What happened that they would be on the receiving end of so many accusations of this type of behavior, which they've NEVER before been known for or accused of?
Something in the water?...

You seem to be convinced by the Valarie Jarret line that Fox News lies.

Can you link one or two examples that back up that assertion?

Thanks for an informative post as usual. Dems are only happy when they can lie. Fox has been catching them and calling them on their lies. I believe that is what journalists are supposed to do.

Spoken like a truly angry individual.
And by someone who realizes, with certainty, that she's not part of the group I addressed. Lolololol.

"Did you know that Time magazine and other news organizations had a Vietnamese communist on full-time staff in Viet Nam during that war? Do you remember that ABC, CBS and NBC have all rigged cars or trucks with explosives or other devices to make them look dangerous on TV, or that Consumer Reports lied about the Suzuki Samurai enough to put it out of business? Do you know that multiple "veterans" of the Viet Nam and Iraq wars who told of atrocities there were never even in the military?"
Randall Hoven, American Thinker

But----for Valerie Jarrett and the Obama administration, the dozens and dozens and dozens of past, "LIES", "misrepresentation", "distortions" perpetrated by ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, BBC, CNN, New York Times, LA...

This flim-flam and crap being dished up by Jarret deserves a bit of referential context.

Please consider the following.

Randall Hoven of, "American Thinker" wrote a comprehensive list (101 incidents) of, "LIARS" and the like. This was exactly two years ago. I invite you to look at this--a good walk down memory lane in the lies fed to us by lamestream and Legacy media sources.
BOTTOM LINE:
Of the 101 incidents, FoxNews is NOT on it. And you can be sure it would be, given that there was mentioned a few "conservatives". Hoven mentions why there's only a "few".

Here's the link:

Mrs. Jarrett,

What are the core issues as you see them?

According to this clip, healthcare is the core issue. All others are inconsequential Where does the economy fall on your list?

"Let's just take healthcare, for example, reasonable people could differ about the right approach. So let's have a conversation about that...Let's just talk about the facts."

This sounds good, but it appears to be disingenious. We have a group in Washington deciding the fate of healthcare. The town hall reactions are an indicator that this needs to be resolved in a timely manner and all options on the table. Those are the facts. Instead of talking about Fox News, perhaps a push for open discussion. But who I am kidding, if you...

Remember how Bush reacted to the false, fabricated story Dan Rather reported regarding Bush's National Guard service?

Of course you don't because nary a word was issued from the White House. Yet, anytime any news organization (is it okay if I call Fox News that?) doesn't fall lockstep in line with "the One", they are vilified and called liars, and oh by the way, you "good guy" media ought not to associate with those "bad guy" media and/or follow any of their stories.

These guys are embarrassing, and it would be comical if it wasn't so much of a threat to the watchdog group we used to have in the media.

Exactly what are you saying? Not a problem for Campbell Brown. Once again, no need for clarification.

BTW, Any chance we could see that personal reference letter you wrote for Van Jones?

This woman was truthful once. She stated that Obama was ready to "rule" on day one.

Definition of ruler
rul·er (rlr)
n.
1. One, such as a monarch or dictator, that rules or governs.

Notice the word dictator. Anyone see how this fits Jarrett's words.

Thanks for your service from an Army gal. Don't mind the Monkey in the patch...(spontaneous). She is anti-war, anti-Bush and doesn't understand how you and I protected the freedom she has to spew..."even if she didn't ask for it." Her words. She is a vicious, hating individual. The person she voted for got elected and she is still stuck on stoopid.
I know you know better than to let her type get under your skin...Have a great day!

is speaking truth to power? So, you admit Fox News is power? Glad you finally recognize the voice of the people in the only media outlet we have. Now, just try and shut it down, you commies.

"Face it, your fake news and proganda outlet has been called out for being nothing more than a partisan smear merchant."

And what news would that be? Does that count watching the Chinese News? Australian News? European News? The Lehrer News Hour?

You see, the smart people watch all sources,apply critical thinking and discern the facts. You wouldnt be happy seeing CNN in Europe. Its not the lovefest it is here. Probably because Europe is now Right of us (except Spain). And the best places to live will soon be there. And this place will be just like Venezuela on the current track. Do you think thats a good idea? Why does your messiah think so? Why is Sean Penn going to Cuba? for Cigars?
