Tall Tales from the Krypton


The Outfoxed gals continue their never-ending battle against Fox; we expose more of their lies. With J$P Video!

Once again we turn to some pickings from the Fox haters' grapevine, where all the branches have thorns, and the grapes are invariably sour. And that inevitably means we have to deal with the preeminent FNC haters, the newshounds (another fine product from the Outfoxed cabal).

Marie Therese has never been one to bother herself over facts. So she blithely tosses out this gem regarding the SWIFT tracking program:
Throughout FOX's coverage of this story, not once have they mentioned the very real possibility that both the management of SWIFT in Belgium and the Treasury Department of the United States trampled on a variety of laws in OTHER countries!!

M-T made this claim on the evening of June 26. It took our tivo all of three minutes to spot this [QuickTime video]:



The above was broadcast the same day as M-T's claim, at 2:02 pm--over four hours before she went online and insisted it never aired! But wait, there's more! Re a possible purchase of Univision:
There is a second group interested in the company, including a member of the News Corp empire. "That consortium is made up of former Fox Family Channel owner Haim Saban, Providence, Madison Dearborn [sic], Thomas H. Lee Partners and Texas Pacific Group...." Is Murdoch's long arm behind this move ? If so, it would give the conservative, right-wing Murdoch a solid foothold in the Hispanic media market at a time when the Republican party's image among the Spanish-speaking community is one step above a cow pie.

More "fake news" from Marie-Therese. None of those bidders is a "member of the News Corp empire". So much for Rupert Murdoch's "long arm". And while M-T has trouble telling the truth, Judy isn't any better, as she comes up with this fiction regarding a Cavuto discussion of the death tax:
He asked the question of a guy named "Morris." Cavuto did not introduce him further... Not until the segment with "Morris" was almost done did the screen identify him as Morris Reid, Democratic strategist. Sloppy piece of work there. Might Cavuto and his gang be some of those who are failing to display the "launch intensity" that Roger Ailes is looking for?

Guess what? It's Judy and her gang that are guilty of sloppy work, at least. More likely it's just another hound lie [QuickTime video]:



The newspoodles have been so desperate to find something--anything--to discredit Fox, that sometimes they find themselves scraping the bottom of their detestation barrel. Our case in point is Melanie, who fakes this nonsense about Stuart Varney and the new Superman movie:
Varney introduced Molly McClure, identified as a "Film Critic/Producer" (I couldn't find anything on her either, which makes me wonder how much of a "film critic" and "producer" she really is)

And if you don't think the kennel-dwellers are most credulous pack of dupes in the known universe, check out this reaction:
  • Fox probably falsified those credentials to give her opinion a little more weight.

All of this because Melanie can't read:



Mel's complaint was that Holly Ms McClure disapproved of the change in the catch-phrase: "truth, justice, and all that stuff". Mel even created a phony headline to further mislead the gullible:
Fox Says "Superman Returns" is Anti-American

We've addressed this transparent trick before: take an opinion from a guest doing an interview and--presto!--it's "Fox Says!" As noted, using this logic would mean that CNN Declares UFO Abductions Are Real! But again, the kennel-dwellers fall for it hook, line, and sinker:
  • FOX is in competition with Warner Brothers though and they released the movie.
  • Is FOX just *looking* for ways to bash Hollywood?
  • Or could it be that Fox just wants to mess with the bottom line of a competing studio?
  • The only reason they would do something like this is because they want their audience to see one of Rupert's movie's instead of a Time/Warner movie...

These commenters never question how the views of an interview guest suddenly get inflated to the official position of "Fox". And note how none of them, and certainly not the newsliars, say anything about the one opinion that could credibly be considered as the position of "Fox". We're talking about Bill McCuddy, their on air film reviewer [QuickTime video]:



No doubt McCuddy's comments are designed to "bash Hollywood" and "mess with the bottom line". Our bottom line: the newsmutts will leap to wrong conclusions in a single bound, and lie about anything. Look! Up on the internet! It's absurd! It's inane! It's the newshounds!
