Title: History brought to you by FOX News!
Post by: AllPurposeAtheist on January 19, 2014, 03:31:00 AM
QuoteWhile bemoaning the lack of historical knowledge in the U.S., Andrea Tantaros of Fox News claimed that Americans "don't even know why some guy in Boston got his head blown off because he tried to secretly raise the tax on tea. Most people don't know that."

They should have kept Glenn Beck in that programming slot. Yes, he was stupid, but he was the entertaining kind of stupid.

I've reached the point that when I see Fox News in the heading, my brain just automatically quits caring.

The FCC ought to be able to regulate the dumb shit put out as fact on the public airwaves or cable especially when it's put over as news.

Somebody tried to sue Faux News a few year back for telling lies. The courts sided with Faux.

QuoteIn February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States
