He didn't make a mistake or error or have a faulty opinion... he fabricated news... network news at that.

Journalistic ethics is an important check on govt and a matter of public trust... it matters.

But I doubt I could explain it to you.

And, there's a huge difference between broadcast/reporting of news and the Orwellian propaganda ministry that is FAUX News.

But I doubt you've noticed.

A new survey says that Fox News is the most trusted TV news source in America, and MSNBC is dead last.

In response to the question, "Which of the following television news sources do you trust the most to provide accurate information about politics and current events?," 25% of survey respondents answered Fox News:

A poll by Farleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey showed that of all the news channels out there, Fox News viewers are the least informed.

People were asked questions about news habits and current events in a statewide poll of 600 New Jersey residents recently. Results showed that viewers of Sunday morning news shows were the most informed about current events, while Fox News viewers were the least informed. In fact, FDU poll results showed they were even less informed than those who say they don’t watch any news at all.

LOL! It must be a God given right to alter the facts.

Frequently you are a hoot. And here you are again. Strange you neglected to post your source and link for this humorous post. But, considering the source, it is patently obvious why. Allow me to help you.

Yes, apparently he did ...

... and, he's being disciplined for it.

On the other hand, lying is an integral part of FAUX News' mission statement, and they receive huge ratings from dumbasses like yourself in return.

He won't be back.  Maybe he'll be on Sunday Meet the Press or something but his credibility is destroyed.

It appears that the only question asked had to do with which country was spending the most to bail out Greece. I don't see how that is relevant regarding world events.

I never watched NBC News, and the only way I'll vote for Hillary Clinton is if she runs against a Republican.






LOL how about if she runs against a human? Seriously do you think Fox News will make Williams an offer?

There are no humans on the Republican ticket.

Then I guess that makes you a FAUX News viewer.

I'm certain you also think they're the most trustworthy new source.

It is my opinion that about all Fox News shows viewers is attractive blonde apparently suntanned women who wear short dresses and cross and uncross their legs frequently to give viewers a flash of skin. Almost all references to Obama are made with a snide sort of smile indicating their distaste of him as a president or a human. They are for the most part just talking heads that read whatever the corporate bosses tell them. To Fox, if the news is not dramatic enough, they embellish it with whatever it takes to stir things up.

They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so.

ROFLMAO!

Where do you get your "faux" news?

That old story has long been discredited by Snopes.

Got Dang you got me there...
What does Snopes have to say about Benghazi?

Fox "News" is licensed by the FCC as an entertainment entity, not a news outlet.

As you well know, not only me but more folks than trust any of the other sources as well.

I know, that is irrelevant, immaterial and unimportant to you. Just so YOUR comedy channel and other sources you rely upon, tell you what you want to hear and fail to report anything else to you so you can honestly plead ignorance.

Get real. Fox is fairskinned and unbalanced, just like our racist Semi-sane, "I know NOSSING" Markle!

The same detestable curmudgeon answered my question: What would you recommend America should do to handle ISIA? With a reference to whatever occurred seven years ago -- in other words, Markle thinks we should invade and occupy Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya forever. No wonder I call him Semi Sane!

Actually Semi Sane Markle isn't far off base with this comment. A large number of millennials actually do prefer getting their news from John Stewart, with a dash of humor and satire. No wonder, all they can get from FOX is writhing hands, loud whining, and a non-stop list of all that's wrong with our first Black president. Reality.

Down with Amerika Inc.! Corporate control of our government through campaign financing.
