Stewart sure does loving ripping apart Faux Snooze
Well, in Fox's defense, they make it incredibly easy. Basically, if a Fox anchor's lips are moving, the odds are they are either lying outright or grossly misrepresenting the truth in some way. Those 50 examples represent a mere drop in the bucket.
I wonder what is worse?
a right leaning news agency misrepresenting the truth
or a
left leaning news agency totally ignoring any bad press about the Obama regime?
At least with FOX we can talk about what they report and get to the bottom of it and then form an opinion but if the story never comes out it is almost like it never happened.

Is lying not worse than saying nothing?
Personally, I don't care. News media is a joke regardless of which end of the bias one prefers, but objectively, not reporting isn't technically a lie.
Faux news jumps on anything with Obama to please their owner. They have their right wing agenda and anyone watching Faux knows it. That's the only thing their views want to hear. Never mind if it's true or not...
I'm a moderate when it comes to politics, but in Fox's defense, I bet not all of these are lies.
1. "In July 2010 the government said small businesses -- 60 percent -- will lose their health care, 45 percent of big business and a large percentage of individual health."
- 2. "And President Obama has offered to pay out of his own pocket for the museum of Muslim culture out of his own pocket, yet it's the Republican National Committee who's paying for this."

3. Labor union president Andy Stern is "the most frequent visitor" at the White House.
Glenn Beck, Dec. 3, 2009
The visitor logs released on Oct. 30, 2009 by the White House, did show that Stern's name appeared 22 times, more than anyone else listed.

4. "Far more children died last year drowning in their bathtubs than were killed accidentally by guns."
Tucker Carlson, Aug. 9, 2014
Technically, he's not lying if he's referring to the 0-14 year old age group. It's the 15-17 age group that really pushes the number to more gun deaths.

5. White House Political Director Patrick Gaspard once served as the "right-hand man" for Bertha Lewis, who heads up ACORN.
Steve Doocy, Sept. 29, 2009
Fox was basing this of a statement by ACORN founder Wayne Rathke. Rathke later said Gaspard did not work for ACORN. However Gaspard's brother did work for them and Patrick has ties to Bertha Lewis.

6. "Look at the debt that has been accumulated in the last two years. It's more debt under this president than all those other presidents combined."
Sarah Palin, May 31, 2011
No, but as of today it is true, despite the current admin enjoying the lowest interest rates on public debt in our history.

I'm not going to bother going through the rest of them, but you could see the list and notice they're not technically all lies. Some are mistakes, misquotes, some misinformation, some exaggerating, some are lies. But BOTH sides do this. I would like to see someone from Fox compile the same kind of Vine against MSNBC and CNN. It shouldn't be hard to do. They should include clips involving atrocious race-baiting, like guests on MSNBC were doing around the Ferguson events.

Actually the video itself is a lie, because the quotes are going by so fast that you can't read them to tell whether they are really lies or not.
That has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. I want that 6 seconds back. Actually for me it was more like 3-4, because once I realized that I couldn't read the captions, I closed the window.
