- stonecircle, on 06/11/2009, -19/+351And they wonder why we refer to them as Faux News.
- inactive, on 03/21/2009, -25/+197Liar, liar. Sniper fire.
- novenator, on 03/21/2009, -10/+168FOX has been a propaganda tool for the republicans from day 1, so this comes as no surprise. Sickening, but not surprising. Why would Fox News let the truth get in the way of a good headline?
FTA - The reality: when President Obama started, the Dow was down 34; it was down 28 when he finished. So it actually gained 6 meaningless points. - Dipsomaniac, on 03/21/2009, -10/+124Yes, they can. In fact, they're so dedicated to saying whatever they want that Fox went to court to preserve what they see as a 'right' to knowingly lie and call it news.
And, of course, we can call them out and expose their lies every time they tell them. - eliot2000, on 03/22/2009, -2/+109The moral of the story is- if you're going to make up facts out of whole cloth, it is a bad idea to display the true fact you're lying about on the screen below you.
- MacEnvy, on 03/22/2009, -8/+100I won't Digg you down, since it IS childish. Unfortunately for all of us, it's also accurate. What they do isn't "news".
- arcangelgabriel, on 03/21/2009, -9/+97"Its the First Amendment, Fox news can say whatever they want."
Lies are lies.
Period. - poopsybythebay, on 03/21/2009, -20/+87@mdepaul. Anyone can say whatever they want, but we can also say whatever we want. So who hates American--me or you? I would say you. The reason is because we did not call them un-American, you called us un-American. It seems to me that you are the one with the problem of not understanding free speech, but that is not all that surprising. You and your ilk have ALWAYS wanted to control the debate and not only control it mostly just lie about it. All the lies will catch up with you sooner rather than later.
- enki25, on 03/21/2009, -9/+76Nobody's claiming they don't have a legal right to say whatever they want. This is just further evidence that they are full of ***** and that their listeners are brainwashed.
- digicanmon, on 03/22/2009, -0/+64The Dow probably fell 10 points while I was taking a *****. I don't see a report about my economically toxic ***** on the news....
- eliot2000, on 03/22/2009, -2/+56One time, I saw a house that was on fire- it had been only 25% consumed when the firefighters arrived, but when they left, it was half gone. I guess we can conclude they started the fire?
- subsocial, on 03/22/2009, -3/+54Reminds me of when Jon Stewart pointed out that the stock market went up when the Titanic sank.
http://digg.com/business_finance/Jon_Stewart_Debun ... - donsnyc, on 03/22/2009, -3/+52Fox News making false claims? Say it isn't so!
/s - normlsparky, on 03/22/2009, -6/+53The stock market was going down long before Obama was elected. Perhaps you will recall the 400 point drop during McCain's famous "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" speech? Or the suspension of his campaign, so that he could rush to Washington and fix the problem? Or the TARP bill?
Or maybe your memory sucks like that song does. - THETEH, on 03/22/2009, -2/+47Criticizing Fox News isn't the same thing as hating America. We just don't like to see the American people misled and lied to by the world's trashiest news corporation.
Of course they have a right to say what they want. But we also have a right to call them out for their *****. - normlsparky, on 03/22/2009, -10/+51What can you expect from Fox? They've been out of the news business for the last 8 years. Reporting actual news, instead of reciting White House talking point memos, is bound to have a learning curve.
- uRmyHartBstopR, on 03/22/2009, -1/+34Can Fox News be just Fox? It's not News when you lie. Shouldn't this be a crime or something? 1st amendment? Fine. News? No.
- inactive, on 03/22/2009, -5/+37Freedom of Speech isn't the same as Freedom from Getting Your Ass Kicked For Being a Liar.
- TigerStar337, on 03/22/2009, -3/+33Correlation does not imply causation. To bad the American schools don't teach critical thinking. Oh, well. McDonald's has the Shamrock Shake in March so Americans are happy.
- inactive, on 03/22/2009, -8/+34WE GET IT. Fox is crap.
Best thing to do is stop watching and talking about them. It'll be as if they don't exist. And God-willing, one day it will be so. - ShingoEX, on 03/22/2009, -1/+24This article is mistaken in thinking Fox has any credibility as a news agency. Seriously, the Onion is more on track than FN.
- zeebo, on 03/22/2009, -1/+24Sadly, I think Fox News got this idea from a futurama episode.
- mishabear, on 03/22/2009, -0/+22Funny...evey time the Shamrock Shake comes out, the NCAA tournament comes out. Maybe if they stopped serving the Shamrock Shake, college basketball wouldn't jam my television.
- novenator, on 03/22/2009, -6/+28coming from the king of right wing circle jerks himself. Let me ask you, who ate the cookie?
- oboshoe, on 03/22/2009, -5/+2656 points nowadays is a pretty minor variation and generally the markets do go down whenever high level officials speak. This was true under Bush and has remained true under Obama.
Overall, this strikes me as an attempt at false outrage.
Frankly, I'm hardly concerned with 56 points up or down when the market has lost thousands over recent months. - normlsparky, on 03/22/2009, -2/+23Actually, I believe that all of our lawmakers were involved in the TARP bill, not just McCain and Obama. McCain just felt the need to suspend his campaign for some unknown reason.
- AaronS2000, on 03/22/2009, -10/+31Where is loneranger85 when you need a republican troll comment? Oh, I'm sure it will come.
- JeremyMattocks, on 03/22/2009, -2/+22It isn't the heavy Republican bias that bugs me about Fox. It's the bad journalism that upsets me.
- uRmyHartBstopR, on 03/22/2009, -2/+21Wtf they can say the ***** they want as long as they stop being a ***** news source.
- mstrat135, on 03/22/2009, -1/+20We all already know that fox is a piece of *****.
- WorldLeader, on 03/22/2009, -2/+20I don't know about this case, but there have been several instances where the Dow has fallen while I was watching Fox News.
- JammoBlammo, on 03/22/2009, -0/+17Really? Did you read the article? It was a video.
- novenator, on 03/22/2009, -9/+26don't confuse them with facts sparky!
- normlsparky, on 03/22/2009, -6/+23I think shiny objects would be enough to cause confusion.
- eliot2000, on 03/22/2009, -1/+18I don't know about this case, but there have been several instances where the Dow has fallen while I was thinking about turtles.
- ZenMojo, on 03/22/2009, -0/+17That's funny. March Madness always starts near the beginning of spring. If we stopped basketball tournaments, maybe we could have winter all year?
- novenator, on 03/22/2009, -2/+19Political theater, just like the republican shut down of the govt back in the 90s. Too bad they have no instincts for acting.
- Elranzer, on 03/22/2009, -0/+16Not being a shill for the Republicans = Being a shill for the Democrats?
It truly is "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality with these people... - phramus, on 03/22/2009, -0/+15Well, dammit! Quit doing that! No more poop till the Dow is above 13,000!
- Fr33th0t, on 03/22/2009, -1/+15Close your eyes real hard and put your fingers in your ears and scream lalala real loud so you aren't swayed by the truth.
- avgbody, on 03/22/2009, -2/+16Technically you're just wrong. There have been several days when the stock market have gone up 100+ points.
- Fr33th0t, on 03/22/2009, -0/+13Because it doesn't.
- jeepgun, on 03/22/2009, -0/+13"My only regret is that I have...bonitis."
- CheckPlease, on 03/22/2009, -2/+15Fox News lies. And, in related news, the name of the day it happened ended in a "Y."
- Julian88888888, on 03/22/2009, -4/+17^ dugg up for obvious trolling lol
- bobbi21, on 03/22/2009, -1/+14Which just shows how stupid the American public is. Sounds like you're proud of that...
- m0n0kr0m3, on 03/22/2009, -11/+23News Corp. = Partisan Hackery
- LugaZap, on 03/22/2009, -1/+13People who think Fox News is fair and balanced are out of their minds, and these people do exist. Youve probably met one of these people or had a discussion with one of these people before, and they are usually the most blind and ignorant people on the planet. These are the same people who cant wait for the new Wrestlemania to come out, I try to just ignore them because they are irrelevant.
- Maxamegalon2000, on 03/22/2009, -0/+11Where in this submission is a link to their website?
- bobbi21, on 03/22/2009, -0/+11sadly it won't. Too many ppl believe in Fox. Sad sad state of affairs
