Invented News About 'Fake News', Brought To You By Faux 'News'
Fox News has been throwing stones from its very glassy house again. This time with the help of The Hill’s media reporter.
If you turned on Fox News Monday, chances are you saw a lot of barking over the mistakes of other news outlets. That just so happened to support Donald Trump’s anti-American accusation that our media is “a stain” on our country. Yet Fox was forced to retract two very biased headlines last week and prime time host Sean Hannity has yet to retract his inflammatory lies about Seth Rich or the bogus Uranium One “scandal.”
As I’ve previously reported, Fox falsely claimed on Friday that Beverly Young Nelson, who has accused Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual assault when she was 16, had “admitted” she “forged” his yearbook inscription to her. In fact, Nelson admitted to adding notes about the date and place underneath Moore’s inscription.
There was such a backlash against Fox’s blatant attack on Nelson’s credibility that the network was shamed into walking back its allegation.
