Fox: All lies, all the time

Fox News: We Report – Even if We Know It’s False

I’ve been dealing with the media and politics for 25 years, but I’ve never had a more surrealistic day than January 8. Several times that day Fox News reported that I was joining Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign. It was a big story – at least until the stunning election returns.

The only problem was, it wasn’t true.

Fox News never even tried to contact me to verify their story, and when I contacted Fox, I felt like a character in a Kafka novel – or at least Curb Your Enthusiasm.</em>

Humorous, if a bit sickening, look at how Fox News just ain’t gonna be swayed from the propaganda, even when facing the sticky wicket of reality.
