FOX News Character Lies

You should read Dreams from my Father.There is also a audio book so you can hear it straight from Obama's mouth. Obama did do coke and pot and his father is a polygamist and was a drunk.

Trump mocks reporter with disability - CNN Video

The fact that they omit that he has repeatedly used that same motion and tone to mock others would indicate that he was not mocking him for his disability. By omitting that fact they purposefully put forth a narrative that Trump was mocking him because of his disability which would constitute a "Character lie". If they were reporting honestly they would have stated all of the facts and let people draw their own conclusion rather than the side they wanted you to see.

I overheard 2 very right-wing Republicans talking yesterday in a fairly vigorous discussion. One was adamant in saying that Trump definitely imitated the disabled person. The other finally said, "I'll hand you that one. I think most reasonable people believe that he absolutely mocked the disabled gentleman.

Certainly, this is debatable - can we agree on that? The character lies that I mentioned have been proven to be absolutely FALSE, and yet FOX News knowingly repeated them over and over for 8+ years.

To show the depths of the deceit, one CNN reporter explained, while displaying a still photo of him, that Kovaleski, “suffers from a chronic condition that impairs movement of his arms.” Again, the implication is that Kovaleski can’t control his arms from moving. To the contrary, Kovaleski appears perfectly calm when giving interviews. Thus, if Trump truly wanted to mock Kovaleski’s disability, he would have had to stand perfectly still with a flexed right hand and not flail his arms. don’t believe me? Watch the video:

In addition, Trump used the same flailing arm movements in a South Carolina rally to impersonate a flustered Ted Cruz being asked about waterboarding. To my knowledge Cruz is not physically disabled:


Thus the true story is as follows: Donald Trump embarrassed the media by finding the 9/11 Washington Post article. The media found the reporter who tried to backtrack. Trump impersonated the reporter backtracking. Media points out the reporter is disabled, but only releases still photos of his flexed hand. Public assumes from Trump’s impersonation and being told by the media that he is mocking a disabled man that the reporter must not be able to control his arms and Trump is a dirtbag who hates the disabled. In reality muscle spasms or involuntary arm movements are not part of the reporter’s disability. Therefore Trump could not be mocking a disability that doesn’t exist.

I'm not sure I responded to your comment. The "Daily Caller"? As far as Obama's Father goes, Barack only met him once, because they divorced shortly after he was born. So he sure didn't have anything to do with Barack's upbringing. Again - another FOX lie.

Is it really surprising that the Clinton News Network put out a hit job on Trump on this?

So Fox News lies? I think it pretty clear that Clinton News Network lies.

Are you always this delusional? Good luck selling the Trump innocence on this issue.

Also, did Hillary exploit this for 8+ years? I don't recall her exploiting it once. After the initial occurrence, I don't recall CNN rebroadcasting it, after that first day. Not until Meryl Streep mentioned it at the Academy Awards (a very newsworthy event). There's just no comparison, and you know it....

Hardly something to be proud of. It shows that he thought equally of Ted Cruz, as he did of the disabled reporter. Both are equally despicable.

But this is off-topic. Back to the theme of the thread - FOX uses character lies for 8+ years, and not one Conservative can deny that they are the only major media outlet that does it. Where are the GW Bush character lies from CNN and MSNBC? 8 years of them...

Here's the issue. If FOX will lie about somebody's character, what does that say about the quality of their statements, when it comes to issues. Their very existence - Fair and Balanced - is probably the worst lie of all.

If there is 8 years of character lies like you claim then it should be easy for you to produce some sources......

FOX Lies about Obama - Repeatedly reported. I refined some of these to further show the untruths of the character lies.
1. "His Father was ,a wife-beating alcoholic and a polygamist." (Barack Obama only met his father once. His parents were divorced when he was 1) 2/28/2007 Josh Gibson, again on 2/282007, Hannity Summer 2008...
2. Fidel Castro endorses an Obama/Clinton ticket. (Supposedly based on a NY Times article, and the message wasn't even close). 2007 O'Reilly factor, 2007 Fox and Friends, 10 days after 1st inauguration, both Hannity and Beck called him a Socialist. Beck calls Obama a Fascist Feb 4. 2008...
3.Regular guest Ted Nugent - "Obama is a piece of ****, and Hillary Clinton is a worthless bitch". 8/24/2007 Hannity. Repeated guest.
4. Obama's a Muslim. Fox an Friends 1/19/2007, Josh Gibson 1/17, Fox News Watch 1/20/2007. On 1/25/2007, FOX issued an apology, stating they were wrong. Hume 2/16/2008, Hannity 3/2/2008, Coulter/Beck 12/30/2009...2012
5. "He's a dime store Mein-Kampf". Sullivan 2/2008 on FOX radio, Coulter/Colmes 4/3/2008, Naziism Beck 2010.
6. He's not an American. He has a fake birth certificate. Fox&Friends Summer 2008, Hannity Summer 2008, Hannity 2012. April 2012 Obama releases long-form birth certificate. Two weeks later, segment after segment on FOX questioning the birth certificate.
7 He used marijuana and cocaine in college. Corsi suggests Obama still uses regularly on FOX (no other major news network allowed him), Summer 2008.

Do you have any links to the claims to verify you are not taking quotes out of context?

For example I could use quotes and video evidence that Michael Moore supported Trump, or that Hillary stated she wanted to raise taxes on the middle class.

Without links or video of the entire segments there is no context to verify that they are character lies.

The closest thing you have is the Fidelity Castro thing. Fox took his statements of Obama and Hillary being an invincible ticket as his endorsement. The exact same thing CNN did when they took his comments of "profiling" as his endorsement of "racial profiling"

I was once a CNN go to person. But the truth is, the media on both sides tend to try to pursuade their viewers. It's like anything, if you believe one thing, you'll support those who side with your belief. Few people right now look at the real facts and are willing to talk about them without bias. I don't know what else to say except that if you listen to only one channel or station you really don't have a true touch on the truth.

We can play the game of posting ridiculous videos all day.

Provide a link to an actual Fox article or video segment you claim is to be a "Character lie" so I can better understand what you believe constitutes a "Character lie"

So far your best example is the Fidel Castro Headline, and I have already shown where CNN has done the exact same.

We're not talking about slants on issues here. We're talking about personal character attacks, with the only purpose - to instigate anger and hate. Are you calling CNN left-leaning? I will agree that MSNBC leans left. A few nights ago, Paul Ryan was featured on CNN's Town Hall seqment for about 2 hours. The night before - Bernie Sanders. They are much better at giving equal time. Since 1998, this country has become much more divided - FOX inception, with the bias Roger Ailes as Director - 1998.

So you are saying that it wasn't the "extreme right-wingers" but Fox that created "birtherism"? Do you have any proof of this claim?

EDIT: Oddly enough it was neither, Democrats created it. Republicans just ran with it.
