I realize this is an old story, but it was recently revived and unfortunately the discussion reached a stalemate... so I thought I'd let the members of the forum decide the issue.
Media Matters back in 2009 posted a story in which the headline read:
"Fox News reports fake murder story from ACORN video as fact"
An ACORN worker said on an undercover video that 10 year ago, she had shot and killer her abusive husband. The very first example they used to support their allegation was from Glenn Beck's show the day the video was released. Media Matters posted a partial transcript from the show where he had played the video and was discussing it's content. At the end of that partial transcript, they included the following quote from Beck:
"...but we haven't been even able to confirm from the state of California whether Tresa's husband from 10 years ago was killed, or if he's dead, or if she even had a husband. Did she make the story up? I don't know."
So the question is....
Is that quote from Glenn Beck an example of Fox News reporting that woman's murder claim as fact, or is this an example of Media Matters fiction?
The video of that woman's claim is included in the YouTube clip of that segment from Glenn Beck's show, which you can view here:
