Fox News posts the biggest misleading, lying, false, never happened bullshit headline of 2017

OK, this is from Fox, so I am not posting the link. If you want the original go to Google, search for Trump, and you'll see it.

First, the headline, which is an outright lie:


Trump condemns 'white supremacists,' other extremists behind deadly Virginia rallies


And, of course, we know that he did not do that. What actually happened:

President Trump specifically condemns “white supremacists” and other extremist groups as forces behind the deadly protests and counter-protests this weekend in Virginia, a White House spokesperson said Sunday.

"The president said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred. Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together,” the spokesperson said from Trump’s private golf club in Bedminster, N.J.


So Fox runs a headline saying he "condemned" his nazi base, which he absolutely did not do.

It has inoculated their viewers in their recliners against the criticism being leveled by everyone else.
