I was and am absolutely astonished. Recently, News Corp (Fox's parent company), was caught hacking into the phones of civilians and politicians in the UK. The scandal went so high up that the top two Metropolitan Police Administrators in London resigned. Fox's "Fair and Balanced" trademark has been ridiculed for some time, but this is different than mere selective fact picking. Either this writer is so incompetent that they can't remember that TARP was enacted by president George W. Bush, not Barack Obama, OR this "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" mistake was intentional. I have no verdict because I can't fathom Fox News intentionally lying in an article, and I can easily fathom them hiring a writer and editor who don't remember critical pieces of American History... that happened 3 years ago.
Its dangerous and immoral that a news corporation is writing articles that incite anger toward others, but I expect that out of Fox. It is a crime to sway people's opinions with false information. Read the whole article, shit just read the title, and you'll know exactly the purpose of this article.
fathom it, because they have been caught lying before. no big thing for them, apparently. what's a little lying for a man who orchestrated said scandal for a number of years? their "news" is manufactured for specific purposes and lying is just another tool in their box, which they use quite often, imo.
