Today in Fake News

Post by K Graham »

CNN and MSNBC have been covering the rescue efforts in Kentucky all morning. I flip over to FOX and I already know what to expect. The chyron says "Biden blames inflation on 'corporate greed.'"

This of course is a lie, but FOX can lie without triggering the sensibilities of their gullible audience. If CNN had lied like this sbout Trump we'd never hear the end of it and lawsuits would ensue.

I think the Biden Administration is correct to blame some of the inflation on corporate greed.

CNN agrees that corporate greed has its place in rising inflation: https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/12/economy/ ... index.html
Myth is misused by the powerful to subjugate the masses all too often.

Particularly with meat, but that's different from blaming all inflation on greed. The dialogue that ensued between the two Republicans on the show made it clear they were just mocking Biden and Democrats while taking one remark out of context and then pretending greed is the only explanation they've provided.

FOX will eventually pay Dominion $1.6 billion.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/16/media/fo ... index.html

“Fox possessed countervailing evidence of election fraud from the Department of Justice, election experts, and Dominion at the time it had been making its statements,” the judge wrote in his ruling. “The fact that, despite this evidence, Fox continued to publish its allegations against Dominion, suggests Fox knew the allegations were probably false.”

And of course, nary a word from ajax who pretends to be so concerned about lying media. In reality he's OK so long as they're telling lies he likes to hear.
