Fox News And Andrew Breitbart Come Up With Another Swindle

[RoboSlater]

I had the great privilege of meeting and interviewing Andrew Breitbart recently in Los Angeles. By the end of the interview, I had no doubt whatsoever: He has brought honesty back into journalism. In fact, the article I wrote was entitled, "The Man Who Is Bringing Honesty Back Into Journalism." Thank you, Andrew. And you're right, my friend, you shook up the rat hole and the rates are coming out to attack you.

[cw6983]

smith admitted she was racist toward white farmers and then walks it back to admit iot was wrong..now we treat the lady like some saint. Note how the crowd clapped when she admitted racism..talk about a double standard

[cw6983]

many of you forget that breitbart published the video he had..while the NAACP had the full video..an remember the white house fired her before getting the whole story..if anyone is guilty..it is the NAACP..who had the full video. Breitbart just presented what he had

[elementalfascination]

"The huge tide of negative publicity that followed these video tapes and the coverage they got on Fox, wall to wall, was a dishonest political stunt, that bares no resemblance to journalism and no resemblance to the actual facts of what happened, but it worked. Means be damned in the end it worked"

[Truklodyte]

Why should we believe the state run liberal media ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN .FOX is independent they show the truth you show the lies

[elementalfascination]

@Truklodyte Fox is no where near independent. Just watching at any hour of the day shows its Republican and Conservatist agenda. Im not picking sides on whether thats ok or not, but the Dems dont have anything quite like fox. Over 260 accounts, via video, can be found right here, on their misrepresentations, false editing, and misrepresenting of facts. I saw evidence of direct lies and tons of misleading reporting. Hannity and O'Reilly even Beck. I havent seen the same for Lib and Dems chan yet

[TheIntolerantAtheist]

Maybe I should start taking videos of Obama Administration officials, edit them to make it look like they're saying something horrible and see if Faux News picks up on it. If they fall for that shit often enough maybe they'll lose their credibility.

[OnTheFritz602]

@attorneysruinedusa

Wow, so much bigotry and hate from an obvious sock account.

And in all CAPS! WhoDaThunk!

Must be a Rush/Hannity/Fox News sheep, who buys into propaganda and paranoia.

[Tirpitz7]

As great as Rachel is, I see no hope for this country. People don't take the time to research things, to look at the other side's view on things. They just want to see and beleive what they want.

We'll never get the needed reforms to save us.

[wlwrk4fd]

FOX news: We shoot up METH, and so do YOU.

[glennypandynibbies]

I compare Fox News to professional wrestling in the world of sports. The pretend to be real but are phonies. Yes they have a large audience but so does pro wrestling.

[cnote6280]

Poor Maddow. Every clip she played as proof that FNC forced Sherrod out came from AFTER she was pressured to resign. So, here's some of that dishonest reporting she's trying to expose. Hypocrisy, thy name is Maddow.

[jay123jd]

@cnote6280 O' Reilly taped before she reisigned. Get your facts straight. And your little racist comments might have ended up in Shirley's phone prior to resignation. She had a bunch of reich wing deathers, tenthers, birthers and civil war re-enactors come down hard on her before she even told her boss. Sure blame the Whitehouse but people like you will never blame the racist small dick mentality Breitbarts of this world.

[cnote6280]

@jay123jd When O'Reilly taped has no relevance since Sherrod's superiors couldn't have know what he taped when they forced her resignation. It's a distinction that makes no difference. I see you're not at all concerned that Maddow is lying about "Fox forced Sherrod out". I made no racist comments. Clearly someone as dishonest as yourself would not be concerned about Maddow's dishonesty. Whatever justifies your position is good enough for you.

[jay123jd]

@cnote6280 Are you mental? I said blame the whitehouse. Billo jumped to the same conclusion as your little klan members did that texted Sherrod before she even told her boss. Stupid is as stupid does and you and your klan are not the tallest weeds in the pasture. But probably the stinkiest ones.

[cnote6280]

@jay123jd I don't care what you said. The fact that you're calling me a racist despite a complete lack of any evidence that I am one rather than accept that Maddow misrepresented the truth is enough to tell me where you stand. I do blame Breitbart for posting the video out of context. I do blame the WH for reacting to a blogger without getting all the facts. I don't expect a mouth-breather like yourself to care about Maddow lying....which is the only thing I commented on.

[jay123jd]

@cnote6280 I also don't care what Maddow said. If she screwed up Americans will judge her accordingly. But you need to get the timeline right yourself. Fox.com reported the story well before Sherrod was forced to resign. Read 'em and weep bucko! So Fox.com is just another shadowy blog without any way to check something before they run it? LMAO yea right ! Take up for those reich wing liars. Who tfc?

[jay123jd]

@cnote6280 Oh and by the way , Fox channel showed the Sherrod clip all day preceding BillO's taped program. They were feeding the fire. They would not mention who this black lady was talking to the NAACP. But without mentioning her name they did run the edited Breitbart clip over and over just like he wanted them too. Now Breitbart is going to be top billing on a republican fund raiser. I am just calling a spade a spade. Anymore rebuttals?

[cnote6280]

@jay123jd Interesting. They showed it all day, but Maddow chose the clips that came after her resignation. Of course you don't care what Maddow said. You only care about those that don't see things your way.  It's typical of mouthbreathers like you, but you keep on trying to move those goalposts. Maddow lied. She knows it, I know it and you know it.

[jay123jd]

@cnote6280 LOL you must be trippin'. You have your own little agenda. Facts are as I described. Fox.com had it on their website from black bart. Fox TV was showing clips without naming names. I know because I was flippin' channels in the morning and saw them. Regardless of what maddow said those are the facts. I usually do not watch her, but she seldom tries to mislead her viewers. I only know that Fox was ginning up controversy early on for many airheads to view.

[cnote6280]

@jay123jd Ah yes, the good ol' "because I saw it" evidence. You've proven you aren't a credible source. So you're a FNC viewer. Yeah, Fox.com did have one article on the video prior to her resignation. Are you telling me that the Obama administration is so spineless that it only took one article to pressure them into forcing her resignation? Maddow lied. Get over it, peanut.

[m0f0y0]

@cnote6280 Unfortunately, they have been caving in to this peer pressure from Fox News. It's not the first time, either. They're trying to keep this wholesome image instead of burying those creeps down like they should. It's become quite disheartening to watch that phony news station create fake news for their pathetic agenda and succeed.

To be honest, I can't stand MSNBC because they're full of sarcastic pricks at times, but at least they're not lying scumbags like they are on Fox News.

[cnote6280]

@m0f0y0 I watch both just to see both sides of a story. Olby and Maddow do their fair share of lying though. It's "truthiness" really. Maddow likes to leave out the word "illegal" when talking about opposition to illegal immigration. She's a smart cookie, she knows the difference, but it doesn't serve her agenda to state it correctly. Then you have this report. It's very Hannity-esque.

[teabaggersblow]

@cnote6280 I was always taught to keep my enemies closer. I watch Fox all the time. They are into running their ideas down a one way street. Most of the people that watch Fox know that they do this for political purposes. It makes them feel good that someone else is looking out for their own selfish interests. As they preceive their interests to be. But many americans are not the sharpest tools in the shed. I have a dad nearly 90 that likes to be racist against all ethnic groups. He is a hater.

[m0f0y0]

@cnote6280 I suppose you're right in the long run. This is why it's tough for me to get to into politics. It just seems like it's misleading or outright lying from all sides nowadays.

[jay123jd]

@cnote6280 You have proven you are a chief cook and bottle washer for the republican party. Believe what you want but Fox ran clips without naming names earlier in the day. I know because I saw Sherrod speaking but did not stay on the channel long enough to get what was going on. Now I know republicans were being little whiney white racist bitches on Fox. LMAO!

[cnote6280]

@jay123jd are you still yammering on about this? You've got issues.

[jay123jd]

@cnote6280 Your right. I got a black president with a country of racist white people stealing his thunder.

[cnote6280]

@jay123jd What about my right? WE have a half-black and half-white President and his job isn't about generating thunder.

[jay123jd]

@cnote6280 It is ok simple minds cannot understand complex terms. People have used alliteration for centuries but homeschooled teabaggers are being schooled by dropout children left behind. It is definitely a dillema. Dems want hispanic votes and republicans want homeschool votes. I see you have longed to join the latter.

[jay123jd]

@cnote6280 And I know you and the Klan knew the timeline very well. Rachel bad.

[jdgrab1]

Fox = fear and misinformation to promote a corporate agenda. Murdoch and Ailes are anti-democracy and America haters.

[Neoguest]

This is a prime example that Fox News doesn't tells straight facts and why you can't trust what the media tell you.

[spirit2dance]

Has Fox apologized for this stupid and horrible thing they've done? (I doubt it.)

[LittleRockElevators]

@spirit2dance The person that I know from Fox News apologized is O'Reilly.

[TheTongueBoy]

How the hell can an Australian own a US news channel? Isnt that illegal? peace and love

[sapient245]

3 years ago Breitbart was arrested on 4 counts of child molestation. They were all young girls between the ages of 4 and 9. At least, keeping within his preaching of, "Family Values" he is a HETEROSEXUAL child molester! LOL In the past he talks of family values, but turns around and MOLESTS CHILDREN There are many other accusations about Breitbart being a CHILD MOLESTER 7 months before that. LOL - Oh... I'm Just Kidding. He's right up there with Glenn Beck who RAPED AND MURDERED A GIRL IN 1990

[OnTheFritz602]

This is so god damned disturbing. :(

Faux News tells their *target* audience exactly what they want to hear.

[lordhighexecutioner]

Who remembers the fake video Breitbart released accusing black people in New Orleans of praying to Obama. That came before the fake ACORN videos. That should have finished Breitbart for good.

[DvlsR1]

@lordhighexecutioner Unfortunately, Breitbart's popularity has nothing to do with finding truth. It is exclusively about bringing down Democrats. Who is going to report on Breitbart's bs? Mainstream media and progressive media... outlets that conservatives already believe are lying to them.

Breitbart gets away with what he does because it plays upon the beliefs of his willfully ignorant audience.

[whitesmooth7]

That Idiot Andrew Breitbart should go back to Germany, he's a son of a nazi who is bound to destroy America, a lot of them are still out there still bitter that they lost wwII the will do anything to destroy America by dividing them, don't forget that September 11 was planned on German soil, America beware of the nazi's they're out there to destroy America period.

[whitesmooth7]

[jonny8440]

This is what fox does. But that's not what's concerning; this is Obama's third time bending down to fox news, his third time pussying out.

How are you going to get TRUE economic and health care reform if you can't even stand up to this?

Bush at least fought for his guys, Karl Rove Dick Cheney all these treasonous bastards.The media called them out 24/7.

Obama is not doing his best. If this woman doesn't have her job back at the end of the week I'm going to lose a lot of respect for Obama.

[randalusa]

@jonny8440

"Bush at least fought for his guys" - That is incorrect. Bush let the liars in the media destroy the people serving his adminstration.

"How are you going to get TRUE economic and health care reform" - Health reform is theft, just like all of socialism, legalized theft.

"Treasonous bastards" - You should get an education. Now go do a search for the definition of treason before prattling on like this again.

[jonny8440]

@randalusa

Lies:

"...Liars..." Ousting a CIA agent because she calls you out for trying to sell the LIE that Iraq was getting its uranium from Africa for its mythical WMDs. Yes those media liars.

Theft:

Starting wars for oil and so that contractors and private companies can make a shit load of money @ the expense of idk how many lives.

I'm pretty sure I know what treasonous bastards are, so please don't speak of THEIVERY and LYING to me.

As for my education and prattling on...well.

[Coventry27]

@randalusa You are a fucking idiot! Plain and simple.

[highwater03]

@randalusa

Lol, you got your ass owned big time on here, now you want to run off. What a punk.

[randalusa]

FAKE Acorn controversy? Is Maddow a liar, or possibly just from another planet? What other possibility could there be here?

"Screaming" Fox headlines bother Rachel Maddow. yet she apparently has no issue with screaming MSNBC headlines over LIES about conservative racism during the Tea Party dustup.

Maddow says the farmer DID get helped, yet leaves out how Sherrod herself said she did NOT help with the full force of her power.

[kaysandesses]

@randalusa

Yes, the ACORN "scandal" was fake, manufactured, phony, bullshit, etc.  Numerous non-partisan investigations found no pattern of wrong-doing by ACORN. "...yet leaves out how Sherrod herself said she did NOT help with the full force of her power. "

That is shown less than 1 minute into the video.

[greattimed]

@randalusa YES SHE DID! SHE COMPLETELY ADMITTED HER WRONGDOING AND THEN SPENT OVER TWO YEARS HELPING THEM AND GAVE IT HER ALL. YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM ADMITTING YOUR IGNORANCE!

[Skwiggs102]

@randalusa If you watched the vid you'd know she DID include how Sherrod said she did not help,You are omitting the rest of it. which was the point of the story about when she learned that she misunderstood her fathers' wishes and helped them with everything she had... And about Acorn.. yes there was a controversy but it was founded on misleading info. So technically it wasn't a fake controversy.. but i don't think that's what your trying to prove..

It's sad to see people blinded by hate.

[highwater03]

@randalusa

And since the tebaggers are 0% racist, why did Mark Williams get booted by them?

Oh, you still have to prove God. If you can't, I'll assume you're an atheist.

[undeadnow]

@randalusa dude get eductaed i know howtheworldworks tellsu nothing

[TayGizzle]

it's encouraging to see CNN actually DOING SOME FUCKING NEWS WORK instead of taking people's opinions as facts

[HolyCity2012]

"Tom Vilsack Monsanto Connection" google it

[randalusa]

Silly, naive sheep, never figuring out that ABC, NBC and CBS, NPR, the New York Times, Washington Post and others are staffed by liars. Then you ignore the proverb about how it is better to keep your mouth shut then let everybody know the dismal state of ignorance or foolishness.

PROVE that Fox News is any less reliable than the other networks rather than merely hurling invective. You've got NOTHING. Stop letting the deceitful, atheist liberals masquerading as reporters run your lives.

[TodA51]

@randalusa

1. Did you watch the video?

2. "Silly naive sheep" - You hypocrite, we use other news media to fight bias, but you seem to only want Fox News as your only source.

3. Every source is biased, which is why you prioritize - Fox is so blatantly biased that you can not treat it as reliable. MSNBC, ABC, NPR, CNN... they have at least shreds of reliability.

4. "Deceitful, atheist liberals..." -- Way to completely show the world that you have no sense, or common decency. I will pray for you.

[randalusa]

@TodA51

1. I have now. Rachel Maddow compaining about "screaming" Fox News headlines. Hahahahahahaha. Wait till the next time the atheist libs can find a Republican in racism. Screaming will go on for weeks at MSNBC and others.

2. You have no idea what sources of information I utilize. And from where do you feel justified calling me a hypocrite?

3. ABC, NPR, CNN have NO shred of reliability. For NPR lies, go here:

4. mrc.org

[highwater03]

@randalusa

You're a dumbass. Here you are telling someone else to PROVE something. Then call liberals atheists. How about you prove that God exists jackass. Do you believe in Allah, Krishna, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, or Yahweh? Then are you an atheist?

You took what FOX said and ran with it idiot. Now you look like a fool.

Go on, prove God you jackass. Until then, you have NO credibility.

[highwater03]

@TodA51

Randalusa is a conservative Christian jackass who can't even prove the God he believes in exists. What a failure. He has no credibility.

[LittleRockElevators]

@randalusa Dude Fox News really brainwashed you.

[randalusa]

Why is the story a swindle? The woman DID make fun of a man, injecting his race. No way around that. And if anyone believes MSNBC, then has the nerve to mock Fox News viewers, he is lost in a desert of lies that will probably take years to escape from.

Racist Obama let off a New Black Panther member from felony voter intimidation. NO mention in the news. The man said cracker babies must be killed. NO mention.

This story was also ignored until they found a way to bash Fox, THEN reported.

[Luminal]

This is REAL journalism!!

[alexandreleverrier]

Fox news and all their contributers are a bunch of pigs.

[DogmaNoMore]

Fuck fox

[frodoondabass]

Who's next? Give me a list of BLACK PEOPLE within the administration.

You might laugh, but it's kinda true.

[StanMarsh1]

Fox News: We brainwash, you "decide".

[highwater03]

@StanMarsh1

lol

[uncoolnerd]

Sad, if there is a hell everyone in Faux News should rot in hell. Getting a good woman fired. Bastard

[MaryJesusJoseph]

This is one reason America is so fucked up right now. A huge number of people get all their information from Faux News--a lying misinformation spewing propaganda machine.

[DHChipmunk]

I am so, so sorry for America. That almost half of America has such an IQ deficiency that they eat this up.. they hang on every word spoken by Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly, Boehner, Palin, Limbough - and believe they speak only the truth. This is the legacy that Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeldt and a few others have left. It's now up to the few powerful, honest politicians and business leaders left to clean it up. The Democrat Party needs every vote available at the mid-term elections. Your country needs you.

[kaysandesses]

@DHChipmunk Fox "News" is an abomination, but we're not talking about 1/2 of the country, but we are talking about 1/2 of the news viewers.

[DHChipmunk]

@kaysandesses I understand that, but I think, with the country as polarized to the degree that it is - the latest Gallup poll of Candidate Preferences, Registered Voters - makes it very possible that at least 42% of the news viewers are Republican/Tea or Intellectual Pygmy.

[kaysandesses]

@DHChipmunk I agree with your figures, BUT not everyone watches cable news so we can't say that 42% of Americans watch Fox "News", just 42% of news watchers. Which, certainly is a little disconcerting.

[gallomex13]

When Paranoia destroys Journalism..........here comes Rachel to save the day showing us Journalism still exist out there.

[rushnut1958]

Wow! Total beat down of Fox News.

[blazehok]

Someone should drop a dump truck full of bull shit at Fox headquarters.

There's no nice way to say Nazi propagandist.

[Calimantalkin]

Fox is Fox, just like shit stinks.

[valgehiir]

oh, Obama.. what happened to you!

[MrEatonbeaver]

Wow, so unlike fox to create bull shit.

[Francebrasil]

Fox is CRAP run by snake oil salesmen thugs..

[justonefirefly1]

I hope that she can sue faux news and own rupert murdoch's ass fucking anti american race baiting scum bag piece of shit. FUCK RUPERT MURDOCH AND HIS LYING NEWS CORP WHORES AND FUCKING ANTIAMERICAN ASSHOLES/

[LouieArrighi]

Andrew Breitbart gives Jews a bad name.

[justonefirefly1]

@LouieArrighi So does Rupert Murdoch and Bernie Maddoff

[LouieArrighi]

@justonefirefly1 so does Von Mises, Milton Friedman, and Murray Rothbard for economic scams and the Project for a New American Century that created talking points for war, and all those who support Israel unconditionally.

[justonefirefly1]

@LouieArrighi Hell the give humans a bad name - bastards

[Calimantalkin]

@LouieArrighi anybody that ascribes the actions of one individual to an entire race or ethnicity is stupid.

[painterQjensen]

absolutely no morals, gets you to the top,

the top of

what?

remember millions ONLY watch fox "news" as "news"

[barbtube01]

@painterQjensen Top of the garbage dump. This tells you a lot about Fox viewers!

[ninjapirate0507]

What a load of bullshit. Fuck Fox news.

[merryprank]

Good job Fox. Jospeh Goebbels couldn't have done it better.

[delreydavid]

Now even Glenn Beck is saying she should not have been fired. Convenient stance when everything you do is against the white house. Half your network says you need to fire her asap while the other half waits till you do just to ridicule you for falling into a trap. Evil genious at its best!!!

[justonefirefly1]

@delreydavid Fuck that drunken bastard glenn the addict beck. that fucker needs rehab and his children placed in a safe home.

[MrBennetzen]

I kinda wonder what would happen if some parents kept their kids from school because of supposed socialism and forced their kids to watch the Fox Propaganda Channel?

[c808boy]

DAmn! Okay now Obama better give this woman her job back and slam Fox. It's the perfect opportunity for him to completely discredit and end Fox News, fair and balanced my ass...

[Lungyao1]

I knew something was wrong when I say her picture.

[jeremywomackdotcom]

Seeee, this is happens when you get ALL your news from Fox News.  Let's be well rounded folks.

[llGemini]

DDDAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNNNNN!

What the hell is wrong with Fox News!!!!!!!

[justonefirefly1]

@llGemini Nothing this is how it has always been - brought to you by the racist bastard Rupert Murdoch and his bastard sons.

[sckchui]

"Fox News Alert". Bright yellow "ALERT" scrolling along the bottom of the screen on a flashing background. wtf.

[cept2787]

GO RACHEL!! It is so infuriating that the WH are such pussies when it comes to Faux and Breitbarts' editing techniques. Reinstate this woman immediately!!!

[KasparHauser4]

I agree... I love Obama but he needs to apologise and reinstate this woman

[geffel]

Let's hope she is reinstated to her job.

[WouldbeSage]

Freedom is Slavery.

Ignorance is Strength.

War is Peace.

[restlesspride666]

@WouldbeSage That book is getting old.

[BigBrotherWii]

I think now, there's a means and way to silence Fox News and Robert Ailes with their intellectual dishonesty when it comes to delivering the news. Sounds like WE have to bring the people back to the world of Reason.

[goru426]

HOAX NEWS is committed to keep the Base of the Republican Party as dumb as they can!

Just looks at the Idols of the hard core Republicans, you will see people like Glen Back, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, HOAX NEWS!

Lies, Hate mongering, Racism, Keeping people low informed, Misinforming people - HOAX NEWS specialties!

[Atlantafried]

Fox News should be boycotted. They will only become 'fair and balanced' when they lose all their sponsors. Oh, and by the way, Sean Hannity blows George W. Bush.

[Seldona]

She should get her job back. I agree. I only saw the edited version initially, and it looked pretty damning. Obviously, after having viewed the unedited version, this was outright slander.

I fell for it. Whomever is responsible for knowingly misrepresenting her should pay for it. I hope her bosses are able admit their mistake.

[Hissyspit]

Brilliant job, Rachel.

[videotodaynews]

I just threw up in my mouth!

[lewislwood]

FNC doing it AGAIN. Destroyed ACORN and now this poor woman, whom is anything but racist. You can see the ACORN video on my favorites.

News org should investigate not promote, especially if slogan is "FAIR AND BALANCED"
