Fox News Channel anchor apologized for falsely saying that President Barack Obama had offered to pay for the operation of a museum of Muslim culture "out of his own pocket" during the government shutdown.

Fox anchor apologizes after Obama gaffe - Yahoo TV
A Fox News anchor gets her news from a website like this:

Obama Declares November National Muslim Appreciation Month - National Report | National Report

The same website that posted this "news" article:
Jesus Christ Boycotts Hobby Lobby - National Report | National Report


Wow! A lot of vetting must go on at Fox News for anchors, contributors, and its news!

Well, to be fair, even CNN had to eat some crow back in the spring. The fact is, media is full of it and it is our job to find out the real story. Anyone who hears any story from the media and does not question, is gullible, naive, and just plain dumb.

Actually, this thread is the first I heard of the story and I would not have believed it from Fox, CNN or any number of other so-called news sources.

And while it obviously and conveniently escaped you, I took-on both sides in my post. It's what independent moderates capable of original thought and balance tend to do.

Benghazi - MSNBC - MATTHEWS: Yeah, it was about the video. Read the newspaper. Thank you. Everybody knows it’s about the video. It’s all about the video.

There is a big difference between outright lies and a mistake. We will never hear liberal media apologize because the false information was intended to promote Obama. OP this was during the election and people were making a big decision. AND there is many more liberal lies!Your post is a big fat fail. You better check liberal media before spouting about fox.

No one can know what was in the minds of terrorists. We do know Muslim extremists were having violent demonstrations in Egypt at the same time because of the video. That was what NSNBC reported. Do you know the motivation in the minds of the terrorists that attacked the Benghazi CIA house?

There is a big difference between reporting news and Fox News using a satire website as the source of their news. Now stop deflecting.

Stop deflecting? You mean, like, your entire post?

There are people trained and paid to know what the terrorists are thinking. You don't have to deal with it as you go to work, and then go home to sit on your couch, eat dinner, and watch Dancing With the Stars. But never think that there aren't people out there who are putting their own safety and life at risk to get inside a terrorist mind.

Your weak deflection aside, the fact remains, what was quoted, about Matthews, what he said was an outright LIE, he knew it was a lie, and there has never been an apology.

Ideologues on either side of the aisle are equally ridiculous and nonsensical. They're usually those who let their political parties do their thinking for them because they're obviously incapable of doing so for themselves.
Feeling defensive, are we?

I don't recall NBC ever apologizing for editing the Martin 911 call to make Zimmerman appear racist.

Just read ANY of the indoctrination lit regarding islam in ANY mosque, in EVERY school in the US and you'll find the outline of islam's jihad intentions for the world.

A Fox News ANCHOR made the stupid mistake and owned up to it.

NONE in the main stream media do this.

Deflecting? HAH!

Pot, kettle.......
