More FoxLeaks: How Bill Sammon Slanted Fox's Cairo Speech Coverage

[cowboyx1970]

hack, hacker, hackerism

[markbrito21]

Philwynk ut an idiot!

[philWynk]

Day 1: Story airs that MM4A has declared war on Fox News.

Day 4: MM4A posts heavily edited slime attack against Fox editor Bill Sammon.

Anybody see any connection? If you expect this to be anything remotely like objective journalism, let alone honest, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you. What is obvious here is that MM4A is exactly what they accuse Fox News of being -- a full-tilt partisan propaganda organ. The only difference is, you don't have to edit MM4A's crap to illustrate falsehoods.

[whitejellyfungus]

Its interesting how Fox News is the only Mass Media (as in highly visible) outlet that has a conservative lean. All others like msnbc, cnbc, cnn et al are usually considered left of center. So why is media matters going after the "lone wolf" Fox News with such vigor?

I dont watch Fox News but I question the motives of such rigorous attacks against Fox news when I see none against msnbc. IMO Olberman was just as annoying and spread libel like Hannity does.

Media matters seems to have an agenda.

[cs292]

I like how conservatives jump all over media matters for just telling the truth. think about it.

[SuperGuitarman69]

The left has lied FOR YEARS ON TV. The media has reported the leftists side as TRUTH. I remember being a kid thinking every Republican was evil just the way the news reported the news. It wasn't until FOX and the Internet that I learned the truth. I started seeing what was really going on. And how this country got so FUCKED UP. The news media was LYING the whole time. The left hates FOX for one reason and one reason only. IT EXPOSES THEM. And they do it to perfection. The left is disappearing!

[0scottweise18]

@SuperGuitarman69 "I remember being a kid thinking every Republican was evil just the way the news reported the news." You must have been one stupid kid (and now, a stupid adult..."news reported the news"...learn to speak proper English....).

[SuperGuitarman69]

@0scottweise18 No my English is just fine. What I stated was exactly correct. A famous Winston Churchill quote, "if you are 20 years old and you are not a socialist, something is wrong with your heart. If you are 40 years old and you are STILL a socialist? Something is wrong with your head!" So if you are not 40 yet I hold out hope you will grow up.

[0scottweise18]

@0scottweise18 Sorry, but despite your protests, you really appear to be stupid. "new reported the news"...there is nothing correct about that sentence other than the spelling. And if you believed everything you saw on TV when you were a kid, then yes, you were a stupid and naive kid. I don't see how "socialism" is relevant to this....(???)

[arsenelupin123]

PUKE. PUKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! How can people be so dishonest.... my brain hurts. HELP!

[glower125]

LOL..FOX NEWS KISSES ISRAEL BOOTS.

TERA TERA TEROR TRA TOROR TRAO ROR TOROA TOAOR TIEJR ...PUKE

[markbatch]

newt is sooooo full of shit

if he deserved any respect i would give it to him but he doesnt

[joetylerdale]

It's really amazing when you see how Fox goes for the jugular vein OVER & OVER & OVER to reinforce their slant/lies to the drones that absorb it like a band-aid & blood!

[andruh99]

Just for the record, it seems to me like taking the US off of war footing might just soften the foreign response to US foreign policy, not to mention saving billions of dollars.

Secondly, Hannity, how is not using the words equivalent to refusing to use them? Are thesaureses evil too? Is reaching out to the Muslim world such a terrible idea?

[sinistar99]

newscorpse[dot]com/ncWP/?p=346­0

[hugdeez]

Fox news relies buzzwords, talking points and repetition instead of journalism and facts.

[sufihasan]

when i need a good laugh, i watch fox news.

[geffel]

How about less use of the words 'terror' and 'terrorism' in general so that people aren't constantly shitting their pants and becoming more bitter, hateful and therefore right wing.

[MOPEDBRAD]

You mean he didn't use ignorant language?

Sorry Fox....

[MikeandSara88]

Bill Sammon = cum bubble

[avatarmn]

1:30... "Although he didn't use the word 'terrorism', the president noted 'Muslim extremists'..." So, he DID talk about the issue, he just used an alternate word. Great job getting to the heart of the matter, Fox News.

"OMFG, THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T MENTION 'FREEDOM'! He may have said 'liberty', 'civil rights', 'choice', etc, BUT HE DIDN'T MENTION FREEDOM!"

[sinistar99]

@avatarmn HANG HIM!  hahah ;)

[Sykotix1]

Miley Cyrus' latest song doesn't contain the words terror, terrorist or terrorism. Ergo, she must be a terrorist.

[Sykotix1]

@Sykotix1

*Cyrus's

Can't believe I just did that! :P

[lex811117]

Excuse me but I want to point out that he did not use the words "Poppins", "Spoon Full Of Sugar", or "supercalifragilisticexpialido­cious" either! THEREFORE, He clearly does not support Disney musicals.

Mr. President we want your stance on Disney Musicals... Your continued silence will only force us to conclude that you hate Mickey Mouse!

[analucuta]

he can talk about what he wants, and chose the words that he wants. when you'll be a president mr. Hannaty you can talk about anything you wish...say the word terror over and over and only use the word terror or words derived from it. Such a poor minded idiot you are, cant believe they pay you for being stupid.

[bigkon420]

@jag10 Palin needs a education maybe she can get once takes rupert's dick out her mouth

[jag10]

@bigkon420 , In English please sir... it's still the preferred language in America.

[codyreyes]

Is Steve Douchey W's love child????

[redshoekid12]

I fail to see the link between not using the words "Terror" "Terrorist" or "Terrorism" and blaming America first.

[10thAngel]

"The methods of choice—relentless propaganda and disinformation—were usually effective. Often the regimes would incite “spontaneous” acts against the target scapegoats, usually communists, socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities, traditional national enemies, members of other religions, secularists, homosexuals, and “terrorists.” "

[mattghtpa]

Watching mediablathers constantly attack fixed news is like watching dancing monkeys fling feces at circus clowns. It’s funny, yet pathetically sad at the same time. It’s all one big joke that keeps getting less funny, but everyone keeps laughing anyways.

[bigkon420]

@thepoundsmoker you are a complete ass who has no concept of history other than what you were told I could point out to you that both liberals and conservatives hold founding principals dear but I don't want to get in a argument with somebody on your side I consider a YouTube friend. But fuck it

[bigkon420]

@drhu super news owns

[underthebox]

The Department of Defense Dictionary of Military Terms defines terrorism as: The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.

Fox News is guilty.

[jag10]

People are waking up.

Obunga needs false flag, perhaps Jewlian Mossange can help.

[Aaberg123]

@jag10

Idiot.

[lunhil12]

They just don't understand if it isn't jingoistic blather, the world is far too complicated to fit into their ideology so they simplify it to suit their narrow minded viewpoint. They hate Obama for being an intellectual rather than a bloated gasbag like Karl rove.

[mmmodafoca]

i had no idea mediamatters had a youtube channel.. and here i've only been receiving my alerts through email :S.. silly mmmodafoca when will you learn!

[Richardgwm]

He didn't use the words, "octopus", "farcical", "juxtapose", or "hyperventilate".

[Char99]

Typical. Fox News always wants to put a little more "terror" into it's news reporting.

[jjtb4v]

"He just can't himself for Blaming America First". Well Mr Old White Man, America IS to be blamed for their actions. You see, there is something we liberals like to call PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. I know it's foreign to Republicans and y'all don't like those big elitist ivy league words - it hurts, so take a pill.

[drhu]

@jjtb4v Just America?

Where do you live? i mean what nation?

[SpardaDVLKing3]

They don't know the meaning of morality

[wmg111]

Why do those foxists continue to demand stupidity from this president? I would expect those in the Arab world are tired of being called "terrorists" simply because a small minority of them use terror as a weapon against what they consider their enemy.

Americans don't like being labelled as greedy war mongers so smart politicians don't call them that. Conservatives have to have an enemy to legitimize themselves.

[drhu]

There's a lot more relevant stuff like Micheal Moore not being happy with 19 million. How capitalistic!

[thepoundsmoker]

I can't believe that people watch and listen to this fucking bullshit. I'm starting to think that most Americans are pretty stupid and deserve nothing but hatred and contempt. Its such a shame for all the generations before that have built a truly great nation that these retards are going to wreck it in such a short time. Good luck to the ones who are fight this evil!

[MarmaladeINFP]

I just lost respect for Shep Smith. I thought he was the only honest person on Fox News. But even Shep was pushing the talking points and lying about it coming from viewers. Did management threaten Shep with losing his job if he didn't play ball? I never thought Shep was a talking point kind of guy.

[langeroony35]

Because of course we all know how well the words terror, terrorism and terrorist work when trying to solve conflict in the middle east

[sonnygll]

Hannity: "He never used the word terror, terrorism, or terrorist! I just can't fap to a speech like that. We're talking limp city, did nothing for me. Normally a speech in the middle east makes me blow in 30 seconds. Come on Obama WTF?! Oh well I'll fap to Bush's last speech in Iraq, that always does it for me."

[WouldbeSage]

Listen MM4A...

For the 15-30% of America who watch Fox because they think it really is fair and balanced compared to other sources, there is nothing -not one goddamned thing- you could say or do to convince them otherwise.

Most of the rest of us already know what Fox is, anyway.

Still, I suppose someone has to keep the torch lit on Fox's abuses, so keep up the good work!

[ClumsyRoot]

If you actually believe that Fox News is a news channel, please put the muzzle of a gun into your mouth and pull the trigger. You'll be going a great service to the human race.

[drhu]

Let me get this straight. That was in 2009 and this is 2011.

Love how relevant you guys are. Who cares?

[Verto9999]

@drhu Yeah 2 years ago, thats like a lifetime, you, sir, are a moron.

[drhu]

@Verto9999 You guys have to be running out of ideas if you have to dig back that far.

When's Katie Couric gonna join in with you on this?

[SgtSanchez]

We can't look a few months or years back but you can compare liberals to any evil regime that ever vexed humanity? I don't think that's how it works, drhu! Facts, given that they ARE facts and not made up, do not change over time. You can use them to enhance the future, be it that you have only found them then, even if they are from the past! TIME AND FAX, I CAN'T GET MY HEAD AROUND THEM OMG SOMEONE HELP!!!!!

[drhu]

@SgtSanchez It's called the desperation of the left.

It's equal to Olbermann going to Current where he can be heard by even less people then MSNBC. Genius.

This is irrelevant to everyone except you 5% of the fringe left that inhabit this place.

[SgtSanchez]

Wow, using such big words as "desperation," now? I'm so impressed! Too bad your comment was completely and totally irrelevant, and even worse, you haven't any sense to put back in the slot to try again (awful pun or typo: YOU DECIDE)!

[drhu]

@SgtSanchez If you could get the 10 or so that watch Current to get together with the whopping 306 that have been on here you guys might be like a fart in the wind.

[drhu]

@SgtSanchez Basically put nobody sees these things anyway. Like I said...being as the left is 20% of the nation this has to be about 5% of that here. The true haters.

[drhu]

@SgtSanchez Basically put nobody sees these things anyway. Like I said...being as the left is 20% of the nation this has to be about 5% of that here. The true haters.

[SgtSanchez]

Yeah, I agree. Very few people listened to Jesus, ergo, he was absolutely wrong. Thank God no one believes in that mumbo-jumbo, nowadays.

[nidodson]

And I for one am about to discontinue my cable TV because I am sick of this crap. I can watch anything I care to see online, and get news that is actually straight online. Here shortly, will probably unsubscribe to MM too.

[PapaMagnum]

@nidodson You won't be missed.

[nidodson]

@PapaMagnum

You can't tell me you aren't sick of Fox and all the constant lying across the all of the news stations. It is just unreal that things have gotten so bad.

[PapaMagnum]

@nidodson I am sick of Fox. I was talking about your unsubbing from Media Matters.

[dieyou2000]

Not saying the words "terrorist", "terrorism", or "terror" means Obama is blaming America first. Hannity, go jump off a bridge with Glenn Beck for all of our sakes and stop making our country look stupid.

[WhirlingWolves]

Fox 'news'. Standing up for America's right to be terrorized.

If fox 'news' could rewrite history they would change FDR's WW2 speech to read "The only thing we have to most fear is the fear that there will be nothing left to fear, itself."

Fox 'news'. A den of lying sellout cowards & traitors wrapped in the American flag as a camoflauge to fool the eyes of the ignorant & gullible.

[scotsmaninusa]

and Shananity,you didn't use the words coward and draft dodger when addressing Newt Gingrich.where was Bill O Liary when all this was going on.

[dlhitch2007]

He didn't "refuse to use the words", he just didn't use them. The Hannity argument assumes that these words should be included by default in any speech about the Middle East, and not including them is a conscious act. The truth is that Obama didn't talk about terrorism because this situation has very little to do with terrorism. Also I would like to point out that it was the Bush administration who started that trend. They change "war on terror" to "struggle against violent extremism".

[kaysandesses]

@dlhitch2007 Hannity is much too "busy and important" to be bothered by facts.

[Xenthoid]

God...Hannity makes my stomach churn... Fox and friends is just as bad...

[usintelreport]

shep smith is not in on it

his fox news viewers who watched the other shows emailed him

[rickbar123]

Look at that fat slob Newt, that fat fuck gets more federal bucks to his district for the military complex than any other district in the country. Of course he wants more war.

[ThePassiveFist]

Fox News makes my head hurt. all the one-eyed, slanted, biased bullshit makes me physically ill. I'm suffering from right-leaning vertigo just watching this.

[elviolette]

Honest to God, I thought that Shepherd Smith was better than this, usually he doesn't allow himself to be whored by the far right.

[justonefirefly1]

REPUBLICUNTS are introducing a bill to redefine rape - it expressly redefines forcible rape. Their definition of rape now EXCLUDES

•Instances where women are drugged and raped

•Instances where women say “no” but do not physically fight off their aggressor

•Various cases of date rape

•Instances of statutory rape where minors are impregnated by an adult

FUCK FOX PROPOGANDA AND FUCK THE REPUBLICUNTS

[HomleandSecurity]

@justonefirefly1 You have to admit that women are hypocrites about rape. They continually fantasize about it, or about being forced to give head for a job, but when their fantasy comes true they feel like a bad girl so they accuse the guy of rape. I think that explains 99.999% of rape accusations.

[kaysandesses]

@HomleandSecurity "I think that explains 99.999% of rape accusations. "

I think you're fucked up in the head. You claim your posts to be "satire", but minimizing and trivializing rape is indicative of a severe lack of maturity and concern for people in general.  Sure, some rapes can be written off as "buyer's remorse", but to claim nearly all reported rapes fall in that category is shameful.

[HomleandSecurity]

@kaysandesses Ok, sorry. 99.998%

[Tyjohnable]

@HomleandSecurity

I sort of agreed till your last line.

But considering that only 20-40% of all rape cases the prime suspect is innocent I think your numbers may be a little off.

Also I'm not sure if you are or not but I think only a rapist would say "that explains 99.999% of rape accusations".

If your not a rapist than I apologize but ether way you need help if you think like that.

[HomleandSecurity]

@Tyjohnable Ok, I exaggerated the numbers, but the general premise is true.

And you don't need to apologize. I've never been convicted of rape.

[Tazz2006]

@HomleandSecurity I'm guess you watch a lot of porn.

[justonefirefly1]

@HomleandSecurity I thought they executed you, Ted Bundy

[TitParty]

Obama also doesnt own any terriers. Bush owned a terrier and used terrorism a lot. Coincidence? I think not.

[CooperLordOfAll]

fox news is a man made disaster.

[cdfox85]

What on Earth does the word "terror" have to do with "blaming America first?"

[psychokillercrab]

Wow it sounds liek what the Christians did to the Jews, you know tell ppl they are evil.....Too bad they were WRONG! In 100 years our ancestors are gonna be so ashamed of our bigot ways......

[ReliableInsider]

I think what we have is a classic division of labor.

Democrats are waging military war against terrorism and against the men who mastermind terrorist attacks.

And Republicans are waging a war of words against the word 'terrorism'.

It's not really clear that the Republican war, in this case, serves any purpose other than confusing and misleading voters.

[dafttool]

Maybe the Cairo speech wasn't supposed to be about "terrorism". This invented complaint reminds me of a person who goes to see a romantic-comedy, who then afterwards complains that there weren't enough explosions in the movie.

[Richardisdorky]

Later that day Hannity threw himself to the floor kicking and screaming. "Why can't he just hate the people we tell him to like Bush. Obama won't play fair."

[Neoconhater]

@Richardisdorky And then Rupert changed his diaper.

[Richardisdorky]

@Neoconhater Then Roger Ailes made him a bottle and he and mama Palin tucked him under the flag to take a good patriotic nap before his next show.

[RadarKat73080]

Imagine that, Obama refused to piss off Muslims!

[JonnyPxN]

@RadarKat73080 So? 99 percent of muslims dont like killing innocents and blowing themselves up.

[HomleandSecurity]

More lies from Media Matters, showing us their Blame America First colors.

[dafttool]

@HomleandSecurity It's hard to be called a "lie" if it is documented in their own words in print & video. Just because you don't like something, that doesn't make it fraudulent. Instead of calling it the "Blame America" crowd, why don't you call it was it is, the "we expect the very best from America" crowd.

[dafttool]

@dafttool oops...call it WHAT it is...

[michaelaurand]

@HomleandSecurity You didn't even watch the video, did you?

[HomleandSecurity]

@michaelaurand No, I don't waste time watching stuff. I just make crazy comments.

[kaysandesses]

@michaelaurand FYI homleandsecurity is an admitted troll.

[HomleandSecurity]

@kaysandesses Satire is not trolling.

[kaysandesses]

@HomleandSecurity A satirical comment is not trolling, but continuing the satire degrades to trolling.

[ReliableInsider]

@HomleandSecurity

MediaMatters has never blamed America for the misinformation coming from Fox "News". It's blamed Fox "News" and Rupert Murdoch and his entire "News" Corporation.

[ReliableInsider]

@HomleandSecurity

As you know, it's actually Fox "News" that blames America, 24 hours a day.

[drhu]

@HomleandSecurity Well this is like a two year old story.

Who cares?

[TribeTPaul]

Though shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Fox's entire business model is a outright violation of that commandment.

[Comixbear1]

He also didn't use the words "Fox, News, or Assholes" but it was taken as a given.

[DillonDee1]

@Comixbear1 -- He didn't say "Fox Buttbrains" either...not even once.

[xTheOxx]

Deuce-y is such a tool.

[DonSSanders]

You MUST ALWAYS BELIEVE THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH!

[TRUTHvsDECEPTION]

Terrorism = The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence to intimidate or coerce societies or government, often for ideological or political reason.

According to the dictionary entire world qualify as well to the entitlement of the term Terrorist .

[Theophage]

Fox News: Demanding more 'terrorism'.

[analucuta]

@Theophage shouldnt carl rove be in jail? he's a political commentator now?

[SystemicChangeNeeded]

This is how the news and public relations works. Its called the agenda setting hypothesis. Its based on the principle that the media doesn't tell people what to think, but rather, what to think about. It's sick that they have the manipulation of the human species down to a science.

Also, Media Matters does the same exact thing. All media and news outlets do.

[exsinor]

I don't recall GW ever mentioning the "War on Drugs" at any point in his tenure in the White House. Does that mean is is "soft" on illegal drugs or that the "War" is over? Fox News exists to put its political minions into power. This is as great a threat to our freedom as terrorists

[EdugeBDroN]

If any us citizens wants an accurate idea of what the state TVs in dictatorships around the world , watch fox . the only difference is that in those country you cant change the channel and you go to prison for putting anything in question . But the twisting of facts is identical , like they went to school with pinochet

[Feredir28]

Man I never get tired of watching MediaMatters own Fox

[Neoconhater]

@Feredir28 I agree. I never get tired of the drooling delusional wingnuts desperate to spin everything into one of their regressive circle jerks as well. They're some of the biggest morons of all time!

Fox is a fraud and everyone knows it.

[moestietabarnak]

@Neoconhater Sorry, way too many doesn't...

[evanWith7]

Terrorist? You mean like what Glenn Beck is? The man who's only product he sells is FEAR, which is driven by a POLITICAL AGENDA?

Listening to this human garbage is like listening to babies crying.
