Fox News. "We have no clue why anyone would do such a thing"

Laura Ingraham: A little update on a story we brought you this week about homeless vets being displaced from hotels so illegals can move in, turns out the group behind the claim made it up. We have no clue why anyone would do such a thing

2. A legit news operation would call that a "correction," not an "update."

But when the bar is as low as Fox set it, I guess that will have to do.

That'show I refer to faux news. Have several rightwingers in the family. That drives them nuts. I just smile and smile.

4. Drives them nuts while they flip it around and call all the other networks "Lies and Propaganda."

I've yet to see a valid charge against them they didn't recycle against us, no matter how little sense it made.

. I jumped in. Libs can't define "woman". Press not as nice to Casey DeSantis as Jill Biden
Laura Ingraham accuses the Left of not actually being the party of women despite pretending to be on "The Ingraham Angle."

LAURA INGRAHAM: Now the Left pretends to be the party of women because they push out messages like "believe all women." They talk about girl power. And who can forget Hillary's slogan back in 2016, "I'm with her"? But they're not really with women. They can't even define what a woman is, in fact, they're totally stumped by the question…

Consider what Politico just wrote about Ron DeSantis' wife, Casey. …..They write, "She's neither the fawning caricature she's made out to be… nor a Shakespearean villain. She might well be a bit of both. She can also accentuate, even exacerbate, [her husband's] hubris, and his paranoia, and his vaulting ambition — because those are all traits that they share." Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. What happened to all that girl power? She's a mom, she's a cancer survivor, she's a former female professional in the media business. They must have used all their celebratory language up on Jill Biden.

13. Fox is its own source of much of what they "report."

Since they make up so much of what they „report,“ there is no need to verify fiction that they made up themselves. Expecting Fox to verify what they report is like asking Hans Christian Andersen to verify his fairy tales.
