I not only admit that I frequently attack Fox Noise, I am proud of it. My personal slogan is “The Truth Lives Here.” Since 1996 it has been the right-wing’s propaganda machine, and nothing more. In 2016 it became the “Trump Network;” Fox personalities have done anything and everything to protect the worst president in history. If you have ever taken a few minutes to read the ‘disclaimers’ at the end of a broadcast, you know that Fox’ fake-journalists are the only people in the world who lie more than your illegitimate presidency.

I have a personal “most disgusting reason” I detest Fox. When Trump, or any other Republican politician is a guest, they obviously offer them “questions” which have been discussed prior to the broadcast. They go far beyond “soft-balling.”

Just for fun, here are a few statements from Fox Noise contributors which were 100 percent false.

“The 90 percent statistic of supporting background checks, that’s been debunked.” Laura Ingraham, 2016. The statistic is 100 percent accurate.

“The word progressive … was created as a substitute for ‘communist’.”  Jon Voight in 2015. Progressives are real Americans; Conservatives are regressive fascists.

“Most polls show foreign nations have lower regard for the U.S. now than they did before Obama’s time.” Gretchen Carlson in 2015. The truth is that President Obama was welcomed by huge crowds wherever he traveled. Trump is not welcome in nearly every democratic nation in the world.

“ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi was ‘released by Obama in 2009.’” Jeanine Pirro in 2014. This event actually occurred under the Bush administration in 2004.

There are hundreds more lies; a number which could fill a 500 page book since 1996.

Some the biggest lies told on Fox are in the form of conspiracy theories. Take the story of Frank Rich. Mr. Rich worked for the Democratic National Committee in 2016. After his murder, Fox Noise pundits claimed that he was the  source of many of leaks from DNC headquarters. It was such an egregious lie that all Fox fake-journalists began backing away from the conspiracy theory including Sean Hannity. His family filed a lawsuit.

Then there was the case of frequent Fox contributor Ralph Peters. He hit his limit in March 2018, when, in an email, he said he was “ashamed” of his association with the network, adding that it had “degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration.”

Then there was Laura Ingraham. Obviously tired of being “upstaged” by Trump’s constant a** kisser, Sean Hannity, she made some of the most outrageous statements ever seen on any television broadcast.

Ingraham was annoyed with NBA great Lebron James and told him to “shut up and dribble.” When the legitimate media reported conditions in the detention camps created by ICE on our southern border, Ingraham called them “summer camps.” David Hogg became the leading voice from Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School and the efforts of survivors from a mass shooting to change our gun laws. Ingraham fallaciously claimed that Hogg had “been rejected by several credible institutions of higher learning.” Mr. Hogg began a campaign to encourage advertisers to remove their sponsorship for Ingraham’s pitiful broadcast. It was very successful.

Twelve years ago, Tucker Carlson was eviscerated by Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show.” Carlson is back and is apparently willing to accept more shame and embarrassment. Recently he not only falsely claimed that progressives “cared more about immigrants than their own families,” he was unhappy with change in America and attacked “diversity.”

When Sean Hannity appeared on stage at a Trump hate rally with the orange man, he slammed all media as “fake-news” including any Fox Noise reporter who offered even the most minor of criticisms against this illegitimate president. Fox was upset with Trump’s biggest fan. Jeanine Pirro appeared as well, and Fox network executives claimed that they had “crossed a line.”

Finally, here are few other headlines from Fox personalities which are entirely false.

Sean Hannity: Obama was going to admit 250,000 Syrian refugees.

Ann Coulter: SC Governor Nikki Haley is an immigrant

George Will: Reagan a month with 1 million job creation

Dana Perino: Climate Change data is fabricated

Stephen Emerson: Birmingham, England is a totally Muslim city

Tucker Carlson: More children drown in bathtubs than killed accidentally with guns

Steve Doocy: NASA scientists fudged the numbers to make 1998 the hottest year.
