That survey is from six years ago.

Ya gotta love the internet, it provides information that can be turned around on someone in a heartbeat.


So, I guess we can call this a thread fail, huh ?

Trusted media, like ABC, corrects their mistakes the same day.

State run liar TV, aka Fox News, publish fake news on purpose. They let the fake Seth Rich story run for months. They didn't retract it and admit it was false until after the Rich family sued them.

Shocking.

So this is my problem. with so-called retracts.
Was the retract reported as aggressively as the dishonest or inaccurate story that falsely accused the individual?
or
Was it a mumbled mention almost as an after thought?

I personally believe the media will use the retract to avoid being held accountable for blatant lies. They have an agenda and will use every tool they can.
What ever happened to responsible journalism? Journalist report the news not create it. We have v very little good journalism any more.

With all the cord-cutting, a 6 year old survey on TV viewership is way obsolete.

Hysterical that Trumplings who swallow every piece of garbage that comes out of his mouth think they have any moral high ground to attack a news network for a bizarre error that was quickly retracted and apologized for.
About the same time that Obama retracted his many lies. In other words never. Its what politicians do. Admittedly Trump more than anyone.
Im still waiting for the cost of my health insurance to be about the same as my cell phone bill. How about when Obama paraded an illegal on stage who was a chemical engineer and represented her as the face of illegals. As if if she were the average..... How about Benghazi was caused by a youtube video? Obama certainly spewed his share of lies. Why the selective outrage? I expect politicians to lie. They are professional liars. It is what every single, no exceptions, career politician does.
Journalist are supposed to have more integrity. They should be fact checking their stories. They should be able to back it with reliable proof. Good editors are supposed to keep their reporters honest. Yes I hold the media to a higher standard.

tRump not only lies, but then he lies about his lying.

And his Trumplings act like he's trustworthy.

Yeah, right...

I call it rather obvious stupidity on the part of Lefty. Most of the speakers on the video were public figures who were not speaking on behalf of Fox at all. The same clips could be found on CNN, but that is all lost on The Left.


Fox News people spoke about the dangers of meeting with North Korea. Evidently you are in agreement that they were wrong in that the meeting went well.
Or do you think the meeting was a failure and Fox was right the first time when they said the meeting was a mistake?


Actually, Lefty is all over the place:
*The summit was ill advised! Trump got taken! Kim WON!!
*Wait! Fox News was against it! They were WRONG! It was a good thing! America WON!!
*Obama didn't meet with Kim because Fox was against it!! (That's actually the stupidest position of them all)

How do you accidentally do that? Not surprised to see so many lefties here are apologists for this.
Who did that?
