    Another Fake News Story by Fox News

    Actually it was a false story, allowed to stand unquestioned for 12 years, from NBC. And it was not done by some low level reporter but by the anchor, again, just like with Dan Rather. He makes it sound like he made a mistake. He did not make a mistake, he made a decision to lie about his experiences hoping for better ratings. There had to be a bunch of people who knew the story was false and yet it took 12 years for him to be called on the carpet. Seems like he had help keeping this quiet. I think he should be removed from his anchor position and not be allowed to report anymore. Considering his position this is huge. Not just a simple mistake, but an action that brings all his reporting into question.

    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    How is Brian Willams of NBC another Fake Fox News Story?

    Oh, you're trying to say that Fox reported about an NBC Anchor (you forgot to mention his name). Good thing I'm watching Fox n Friends so that I could decode this post.

    Should have used purple. This was a swipe at a post a couple of weeks ago by one of our more liberal members about how a low level reporter at Fox News had been caught falsifying at least part of a story and yet he disregards blatant lies from MSM anchors.

    So there is no "Fake News Story By Fox News"?

    Would you like to change the title of this thread, or have it changed?

    Unfortunately I don't know of a way to have the title in purple so that we could understand sarcasm to follow. I myself would have started many threads with purple titles.

    Maybe it's just me, but after reading the OP first sentence I got, exactly, the irony he was going for?!

    Thanks, but the title is right. I should have been better with my opening post though.

    Hillory Clinton did virtually the same thing. It seemed to be a career booster for her, at least with the lunatic left.

    Same here. As soon as I saw NBC I knew what the story was, and who he was poking in the eye.
