But not according to Fox.
Fox and Friends Co-Host Brian Kilmeade, with accompanying graphic, actually reversed the results of the poll in order to claim that two-thirds of Americans supported Wisconsin-style laws rather than opposed them.
KILMEADE: I think Gallup, a relatively mainstream poll, has a differing view. And here is the question that was posed, should you take away--will you favor or are you in disfavor of taking away collective bargaining when it comes to salaries for government workers? 61% In favor of taking it away. 33% oppose. 6% up in the air.
otto...I agree. The manner and frequency in which Fox misrepresents the facts would be ridiculous were it not so offensive to the concept of accurate reporting. |
Yes - ridiculous in the sense that you pretend like FOX is the only one out there that ever misrepresents "the news". Ridiculous in the sense that the anti-FOX bobble-heads are the predictably-biased peanut-gallery we can always count on.
bah ... moo ... FOX lies ... moo ...
oops! looks like someone forgot to include the actual video. I'm sure it's out there... I did a 2 minute search and haven't found anything yet... but did find plenty of easily-edited still-images at the usual suspect web-sites (mediamatters, KOS, etc.). But strangely no authentic video copied from FOX.
I'm trying to make supper for the kids and I'm a little distracted ... and I'm certain that I missed it somehow. Do you mind linking to the unedited video from FOX? It should be easy to find since they were clearly caught red-handed.
Never-mind... Big Surprise! I did find it! Wow FOX misrepresented a poll. WHAT A SHOCK! oh my.
So when do we cover the other fountains of truth ...ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, Al Jazeera... and on, and on, and on
moo!
