What’s the Matter with Fox News?
By PoliPundit ~ November 1st, 2009 @ 2:28 pm
I’ve heard several egregiously wrong “facts” mentioned on Fox News repeatedly today. Someone needs to crack the whip.
Fox “fact”: Obama won New Jersey by 20 points.
Reality: Obama won New Jersey by 15.5 points.
Fox “fact”: New Jersey hasn’t elected a Republican governor since 1992.
Reality: Christine Todd Whitman edged out the inumbent Democrat governor in 1993 (a harbinger of the 1994 Republican Revolution), and narrowly won re-election 4 years later.
What’s particularly appalling about these “facts” is that they came from the “correspondent” assigned to cover the election!
I also heard various bad “facts” about NY-23.
Fox News, please fix this abuse of “facts!” Otherwise, I might have to hold my nose and watch CNN!

You have to forgive them the error on Whitman. It’s easy to confuse her with a democrat.

Like CNN never makes these kind of mistakes. . .

Ok seriously? Man, it would be awesome if Fox News was perfect… but it’s not. So it is not worth trying to find all the errors in a news broadcast put on by humans. No one is perfect. I wish I even keep track of all the lies and mistakes that CNN, MSNBC, and ABC make. Then we would have a story with depth!
Oh and I agree with NY Andy, she is basically a democrat.

On Saturday Fox was referring to Gavin Newsom as the “former” Mayor of San Francisco. These are easy mistakes to correct and only give ammo to the liberal media and its defenders.

Fox hasn’t been a real news station for years (read: as long as I can remember)
they have such an incredible bias that they’re not worth listening to.
