https://www.marketwatch.com/story/f...rs-kneeling-but-not-during-anthem-2018-06-0It seems in an attempt to make Trump look good and the Eagles look bad the Fox News posted a picture of Eagles players kneeling on the field and saying this is why the President cancelled the Eagles visit. I guess kneeling to pray is now the wrong thing to do, as that is what the players were doing. Did the Fox News get it wrong, again, or were they pushing this to get the Trump supporters to back the Trump's move in dis-inviting the Eagles? I am glad of one thing, Fox no longer uses fair and balanced.
 
Somebody git a rope!

Corporate "journalism" is wrong/lying so often that instances of them doing so is not news.
 
Eco's helpful hint #275: In the top right portion of the home screen is an empty box with a search icon. Before making a thread, type something key, like "fox", and see what happens. Then go for it.

I'd say just sayin' but it's a helpful hint.
 
Major screw up by FOX News!


Fox News could not find any footage of Eagles players kneeling in protest because Philadelphia was one of eight NFL teams that saw its entire roster stand for the national anthem throughout the 2018 regular season.
 
Kind of funny that in a thread about Fox making a mistake that the thread title is:

Fox news gets it wrong gain!

I mean obviously mistakes happen.

Fox doesn't make those kind of mistakes, what they did was intentional.

They do, just like all of them. The key is figuring out which are genuine mistakes, and which are maybe shading the story for the purposes of driving an agenda.

How do you know this and why would they do it intentionally when it was so obviously wrong and easy to verify?

Fox has a long history of lying to their viewers. They have done it so many times in the past.

Okay, whatever. So no actual evidence that this incident was intentional, just your gut reaction?

Heh. I was about to post the same thing but you beat me to it.

As I said they have a long long history about lying so why should this be any different. As to evidence, just where would that come from?

How would I know that? You made the claim, I'm asking for your evidence.

Tell me honestly, that you have no idea that Fox lies to their viewers on a regular basis. Is the evidence you seek an admission by Fox that they lied, again?

If you think Fox is the only media outlet that shades the truth at times, then you really aren't paying attention. Fox admitted they made an error and have apologized. Obviously, that's not enough for you and other Fox haters on DP. What would it take for you to be satisfied that this was an error, and not some dastardly plot to accomplish something something and achieve something else?

The ONLY reason they admitted an "error" was because they got caught. Now which other media shades the truth like Fox does?

They "got caught" because the incident was so easily verifiable. That alone should tell pretty much anyone it was a dumb error.

Which other media shades the truth? They all do.

You are making pathetic excuses, Fox just out and out lies, period. In fact, like Trump, there are so many lies that no one can tell when the truth is finally spoken. You get to a point where you expect everything to be a lie.

No, I'm speaking reality. How often do you watch Fox?

I rarely watch Fox, but as like most people I read of their lies regularly.
