MEDIA: Fox News, the "news" organization that successfully argued in court
that the first amendment allowed them to lie to the public, have used an old
clip of Joe Biden quoting John McCain as if Biden made the statement himself, recently.
Vice-president Biden was shown to be saying
"The fundamentals of the economy are strong" and this was presented
as part of a story on how the O'Bama administration
is now saying the economy is strong.
The clip was six months old, and Biden was quoting John McCain
in order to criticize his statement.
"We lie to the public all the time," confided Fox news owner Rupert
Murdock. "In fact, we put words in people's mouths all the time,
when it's just made up crap. You know, like this."
The "this" Murdock was referring to was not explained.
"As Churchill said, 'In a cultural war, truth is so precious that
she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.' That's where
Fox News comes in!"
