Earlier Tuesday, President Obama said that at least $200 billion had been saved from the TARP program, savings that he plans to use to help fund his new job creation initiatives.
A few minutes later, Fox took that $200 billion figure and cut it by $198 billion, telling their audience in an on-screen graphic that the TARP savings would be just $2 billion.

The sad thing is 99.6% of Fox News sheeple will never learn the truth.

Yay! Another Kos link!

You do realize that the only reason that nobody's pointing out the same number of typos and other mistakes on CNN and MSNBC is the fact that nobody's watching those networks, right?

Seriously. Find a hobby. All that anger and hate has to be eating you up inside.

The sad thing is that 99.6% of leftists can't accept Fox News as being a credible news station.

Is it me or does anyone have the feeling that Mr. jitsu is a computer program that flags web articles that contain Fox, Palin, Bush, etc. and attaches boilerplate comments such as "I'm not surprised or "so sad" into the body of the thread?

FNC CAN be credible. But I don't understand why they must manipulate the news. I'm not even talking about a bias. I'm talking straight up misinformation. They have no shame or honor.

First of all, the link shows a video from Fake News. Secondly you're wrong. Fox only outdraws the other cable networks. Not all networks combined. I realize you won't hear that on Fake News.

And third, calling that a typo is pretty hilarious and predictable from a RW apologist. Amazing how all these mistakes seem to be in one direction?

Sure, it has to be a coincidence! Now you can roll your eyes again.

Sure thing. Don't let the facts stand in your way of a good insult.

Nobody accepts Pox News as being a credible news source - except for the mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers who actually think Glen 'I used to be a junkie but now I'm saved' Beck is smart.
